Britney Spears: Father gives guardianshipAccording to "People", however, other things may have played a role in the retreat. In August, Britney Spears ex-husband Kevin Federline reportedly told police about an incident between Jamie Spears and one of his grandchildren.
Jamie Spears had taken over the guardianship of his daughter more than ten years ago. At that time, a court in Los Angeles saw the singer no longer able to take care of herself. The then 26-year-old Spears had previously been admitted to a psychiatric ward for observation.
Now Britney Spears is to get a new guardian: her longtime collaborator Jodi Montgomery will take over this task "People". She has the same rights as 67-year-old Jamie Spears. Accordingly, she may also talk with attending physicians and medical professionals about the condition of the singer.
