Britney Spears is free from her 13-year conservatorship after a judge ruled Friday in favor of termination. The ruling ends a longstanding arrangement that left the singer unable from making her own financial and personal decisions.Spears informally asked for the court’s intervention on June 23, describing the conservatorship as traumatizing and abusive.
An official request for termination was filed late last month by her attorney, Mathew Rosengart, one month after her father, James “Jamie” Spears, stepped down as conservator.The conservatorship was instigated in 2008 after Britney went through some very public mental health challenges.
