Brit Wants Dad Out; Lawyer Says She 'Doesn't Understand'

Britney Spears' lawyers argued today that her father Jamie should not be allowed control of Brit's personal, legal and financial affairs, claiming that his conservatorship over her is causing Brit "even more stress."

But Jamie's lawyers say that as a concerned father, he's staying put, insisting that he's stepping in only because "his daughter is in great distress."

Jamie told the court he has no interest in her money, revealed in court to be a whopping $40 million estate. The other shocker? Britney's in the middle of a $17 million tax audit.

Also today, a court-appointed lawyer said that he interviewed Britney at UCLA Medical Center and concluded that she isn't able to grasp what's going on in court. Not only does she "not understand court proceedings," but she "lacks the capacity to retain counsel." X17online.com says she also "lacks the capacity to retain information."

Now there are new reports that Britney, 26, is being held in a padded room and has taken on a string of bizarre aliases.

Reports say a source inside the psych ward claims Britney speaks to herself in a British accent and went from calling herself "Amanda" to "Jack Triple-X 59."

I THINK THAT HER DAD SHOULD STAY WITH HER TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS OK BETWEEN HER AND HER DAD.
I HOPE THAT SHE FINALLY GETS ALL THE HELP AND ATTENTION THAT SHE DESERVES AND , I HOPE THAT SOMEDAY SHE SEE’S HER TWO LITTLE BOYS AGAIN BE HAPPY AND FOCUS ON HER MUSIC AGAIN.

To SKH if you want to get over Britney then do so..some of us have experienced post pardom and with that comes depression and you need meds to help with that..I for instance didn’t take care of my son for almost 4months after his birth, luckily I was living with my parents who helped me. I to this day do not remember NOT taking care of my son..I thought I did..got up with him in the middle of the night, changed him, fed him..only to find out I had not done so because of the illness. I am all for Britney’s dad helping her..she is not a has been she is a person with the same life issues that alot of people have been through and are still going through. We are not under the spotlight like her. My son is now 15yrs old and I would not want to re-live what I went through..I feel for Britney..I can honestly see how she can’t grasp what is happening or why..Bi-polar has many different levels if you knew anything about these health issues or experienced it you wouldn’t judge her. She is getting help and I believe she will be okay..Put yourself just in one of her shoes..you have 2 kids with a man you love (enough to buy a house for his ex so he can be next to his kids) and he leaves you and takes your kids, goes back to his ex..already experiencing post pardom depression..you would not be okay either..emotionally she is tore up..she has denied it but being a woman loosing the love of you life is devastating and he only wants those kids for the money..He is not in the spotlight because no one cares about him..He is not a SAINT..he helped put her here..I mean come on he left Shar pregnant for Britney ..Got what he wanted from her which was help making his pathetic album and money and cars and a house for him and his ex.. I believe it was a plan from the start he was just a back up dancer until he connived his way into her heart and it wasn’t for love..I suggest to you that you go ahead and move on with no understanding of this because you must be perfect RIGHT? Get over yourself and have some compassion fro someone other than yourself..We are all human and make mistakes just not with 100 camera’s following us..dissecting our lives..We have all has our hearts broken at some point, we have all needed someone at some point… some of us have had health issues and thank god someone cared..You are not a doctor and have no right judging this without some type of experience with the illness..Move on with whatever and let us care about Britney no one is asking you to care..It is our choice to care as it is yours not to..

Well, we PLEEEEZE get over this stupid Britteny news!

She is a has-been…like New Kids on the Block, NSync, 98 Degrees.

Few have made it…Justin, Christina (thru her Mickey Mouse years).

Just get over it…let her fade into the sunset…let her become yet another has-been and teeny bopper star.

The girl (now woman) hasn’t done anything worthwhile in over three years…so who cares? Let her become just like the rest of us….a normal person and citizen and off the radar!!

OMG Roxanne! I think you need help as well. I’m a mom of two babies myself and I cannot imagine anyone caring for two kids w/Britney’s kinda illness. What I mean by that is that Britney is beyond help and keeping her there for another 14 days isn’t gonna do her anygood. I really do hope, for her sake, that they transfer her to a mental institute after she does her 14 day stint. She’s in no condition to be released ever and even if she’s gonna be released, she HAS to be on these psychotropical meds for the rest of her life. From what I’m reading here, not only does it sound like she’s got severe bipolar but it sounds like she’s really lost it! Go Jamie and Lynne Spears! I hope they’re able to keep Sam and Adnan out of Britney’s life forever. I hope her doctors and her family members will object allowing her to have anything to do w/her boys until she’s in full recovery.

I think if she gets her 2 baby’s back she would do alot better! That will kill most women when there kids are taken away like that. I donnot think she is a bad mom!
