Her father Jamie earlier said it was “necessary”, but agreed it was time for her “to re-take control of her life”.

lawyers representing Jamie Spears said in earlier court filings; “Her life was in shambles and she was in physical, emotional, mental and financial distress,” .

The conservatorship had power over her finances and career decisions plus major personal matters, such as her visits with her teenage sons and whether she can get remarried.
