LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears’ father will remain temporarily in control of the pop star’s personal and financial affairs while she is evaluated in a hospital psychiatric ward, a court commissioner ruled Monday.
The decision came after lawyer Adam Streisand unsuccessfully sought to enter the case as Spears’ attorney, saying she told him by phone that her father, James Spears, should be removed from the case.
"She has expressed to me very strongly that her father not be the conservator," Streisand said. "There has been an estrangement for quite some time. With him as conservator, that is causing her more agitation and more distress."
Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz rejected Streisand’s request to represent the singer and extended her order granting James Spears temporary conservatorship until Feb. 14. He was given control on Friday.
She also appointed a physician to evaluate her competence to make decisions.
