Britney Spears' father removed as her conservator as 'care manager' takes over

Britney Spears' father Jamie Spears has been removed as her conservator,, following a court hearing.

The 37-year-old singer will now have her 'care manager', Jodi Montgomery, in his place following a hearing in LA County Court.

The Blast has reported that the removal of Jamie Spears as her conservator was discussed by Britney's legal team, her ex-husband Kevin Federline's attorney, and her mother Lynn's lawyers.

Britney had been placed under this guardianship ten years ago, after fears that her mental health would impact on her successfully running her finances and physical wellbeing.

The courtroom had been cleared of witnesses and media at the request of Britney's lawyer, as sensitive medical information and information about her children would be discussed.

A temporary order was put in place removing Jamie and approving Jodi Montgomery, who has been working as Britney's 'care manager' up until this point.

Jodi will have the power to "limit visitors by any means, provided that (Jodi) shall not prevent (Britney) from meeting with her court appointed attorney."

She will also have "he power to retain caretakers for (Britney) on a 24hr/7 day basis. The power to retain security guards for (Britney) on a 24 hour/7 day basis."

Lastly, Jodi will have the power to communicate with Spears' doctors about her "medical treatment, diagnosis, and testing."

This also includes all records regarding her "psychiatric" treatment.

The Blast reported that Jamie had filed documents, requesting that he could step down from the conservator, for "medical reasons."

He had also requested that Jodi be the one that took over from him but only as a temporary measure.

There has been controversy surrounding Jaime in the past week after Kevin Federline filed a police report and got a restraining order that kept Jamie away from his grandchildren.

Jamie allegedly grabbed and shook Britney's son Sean and is now under investigation for child abuse.

Kevin is reportedly looking forward to working with Jodi as conservator, especially when it comes to money for the children.

He is currently receiving child support from Britney.
