Britney Spears To Pay Her Dad $2500 A Week

Britney Spears was ordered to pay her father Jamie Spears $2,500 in weekly compensation as his temporary conservatorship over the singer's estate was pushed forward until July.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz ruled that Jamie Spears can hold for himself $2,500 a week from his daughter's money as well as lease a car. The payment details were included in court documents released Thursday but signed on Wednesday.

She also ordered the troubled pop singer to pay Samuel D. Ingham III, her court-appointed attorney, a $58,800 fee. Additionally, Goetz authorized the pop star's psychiatrist to hire two other doctors and pay them retainers totaling $9,000.

An attorney for Jamie Spears, Vivian Thoreen, argued in court documents that the extension of the temporary conservatorship was necessary because Jon Eardley, an attorney who made an unsuccessful attempt to move the probate case to federal court last month, had filed new papers in U.S. District Court. Those documents were under seal.

On Feb. 14 Eardley had filed a civil rights challenge to the conservatorship; for almost two weeks the case was in limbo until a federal judge declined to hear it.

Goetz, who extended the conservatorship during Wednesday's proceedings, previously granted Jamie the authority last month to fire Britney's business manager, Howard Grossman, after the elder Spears claimed he defied the court's order by hooking Britney up with a car and facilitating a meeting with an attorney the day after she was released from UCLA.

Since Britney has been under the close supervision her father, following her early February hospitalization, the singer regained the visitation rights with her sons, and has kept a low profile keeping herself busy by teaching dance lessons to young children at the Millennium Dance Studio in L.A.

According to sources, Goetz could decide to dissolve the conservatorship before July 31, if Britney's mental health is reestablished. "Is it possible she might make significant enough progress to get her life back in three or four months? Yes, and her dad would like nothing more," a source was quoted by People as saying.
