Britney's Father Granted Legal Control over Daughter's Affairs
Britney Spears's father is taking control.
Jamie Spears, accompanied by ex-wife Lynne, was granted temporary legal control over their daughter in an emergency court hearing Friday.
Commissioner Reva Goetz stated that she found Jamie's petition for conservatorship to be in the singer's "best interest."
Among the various powers granted to him, pending a Monday hearing, are the ability to restrict and limit visitors to his daughter (who remains hospitalized at UCLA Medical Center), as well as to employ security guards to protect her.
Commissioner Goetz also allowed temporary powers over Spears's finances, in addition to securing her residence, changing its locks, and vacating any people living there.
Jamie and Lynne Spears, who appeared solemn throughout the hearing, seemed relieved by the ruling. The former couple left the courtroom without commenting to reporters.
The court also granted them the power to "prosecute any civil harassment restraining orders."
Court rep Allan Parachini confirmed that Britney's close confidant, Sam Lutfi, "is the subject of a civil restraining order." No further details are available.
Earlier in the day, Lutfi, who had been locked in a battle with the singer's parents, spoke out against Britney's parents and their arrival in court. "I object to this. Britney is fully capable of handling her own finances. Her doctors are capable of handling her health care," he told PEOPLE. "You'd think in a time like this, the family would be at the hospital taking care of their daughter, rather than fighting for her money. How sad."
