Britney Spears' father is out, but scrutiny of him just beginning
Fox News
Britney Spears and her attorney successfully drove her father from the conservatorship that has run the singer's life and controlled her money, but they say they are not done scrutinizing him and the actions he took over the past 13 years.
"Jamie Spears and others are going to face even more serious ramifications for his misconduct," Rosengart said Wednesday outside court.
But legal acts may pose problems too. Experts say some of the allegations that have emerged have exposed the shortcomings of the conservatorship system, which gives conservators vast control over people deemed mentally incapable of making major life decisions, as Britney Spears was found to be in 2008.
"There are safeguards in place," said Sarah Wentz, a probate attorney who works on many conservatorship cases. "I think the failings in this case show us where they can be manipulated. I am disappointed in our system."
