There doesn't seem to be a thread about Britney Spears' situation. I've never been a fan, as I've never been a 13-year-old girl, but her situation raises legitimate questions about how people can lose their rights to a conservatorship and be unable to regain them. She's been exploited by her family since she was a young teen-age star, and she is now a 39-year-old mother of two whose life has been controlled entirely by her father for 13 years. It could probably happen to any of us if we had something that somebody else wanted.

And some conservatorships are outright criminal rackets.

Since the establishment of Spears’s conservatorship, she has released four albums, headlined a global tour that grossed a hundred and thirty-one million dollars, and performed for four years in a hit Las Vegas residency. Yet her conservators, who include her father, Jamie Spears, have controlled her spending, communications, and personal decisions. |
And some conservatorships are outright criminal rackets.

In the United States, a million and a half adults are under the care of guardians, either family members or professionals, who control some two hundred and seventy-three billion dollars in assets, according to an auditor for the guardianship fraud program in Palm Beach County. Little is known about the outcome of these arrangements, because states do not keep complete figures on guardianship cases—statutes vary widely—and, in most jurisdictions, the court records are sealed. |
