Brit's Dad Pays Himself -- Out of Her Money!

Britney SpearsA court commissioner has ruled that Jamie Spears can draw $2,500 a week from Britney's accounts as conservator of her affairs. It pays to be Britney's dad!

TMZ has obtained the minute order from yesterday's conservatorship hearing. In it, the judge ruled on the money, plus gave him the right to lease a car.

The commish also ruled that Samuel Ingham, Brit's court-appointed attorney, be paid $58,800.

As we reported yesterday, the judge also extended the conservatorship until July 31. But sources tell us that Jamie wants to end the conservatorship before then if his Brit's mental state improves.

16. Wait a doggon minute. If she is earning $750,000 a month and he is preventing some thugs like she's been associating with from taking away that money then he is a bargain. A big bargain. If he's keeping his eye on her that means he isn't able to make money from his catering jobs.

There's nothing wrong with this and some people would say he should get more.

17. He should be paid $10k per week for dealing with her crazy azz. He's a high-priced babysitter.

19. Shouldn't there be an additional
two zeros on the $2500 figure?
It is sad when even your own
dad is out to screw you. Hopefully
Karma will catch up with her dad
and all the others who seek to drive
Britney to the poor house.

20. .

First of all, I am a Legal Conservator of an incapacitated person for both the Person and Estate in the County of Los Angeles, State of California. I am also her mother.

The amount of money her dad is receiving is CHICKEN FEED considering what a "Professional Trustee" would charge, based upon the size of Britney's estate and the complex duties that are involved... I know this for a fact, because our (FORMER) Professional Trustee was RAPING our severely disabled daughters Trust Account with her exorbitant fees. And our Trust is a very simple Trust to administer. Britney is getting off very, very lightly folks, believe it or not.

22. Worth every penny. He is doing a GREAT job. In a short amount of time - her life has changed DRASTICALLY - for the better. There is no reason he should not get paid and yes, of course it's out of her accounts - where else would it come from? Oh - and given that possibly MILLIONS have been drained from her accounts by God knows who - this conservatorship may very well be SAVING her fortune. If she kept going the way she was - she could have ended up penniless - with nothing to leave to her two boys. $2500 a month for Jamie is a bargain. He has literally saved his daughter's life, her fortune - and who knows - maybe her career too! Time will tell.

GO JAMIE!! GOOD JOB!! GET WELL BRIT!!

23. He deserves it, she has completely taken away his personal life and devoted 100% of his time to her. He has to make a living just like the rest of us. This is now his fulltime job. Why should he suffer?? She should be thankful for him !!!

24. This man was a full-time chef. He seemed to be supporting himself and living a rather simple life on his pay. For him to take care of Britney and all her stuff 24 hours a day - he deserves the pay. He has expenses. He's not exactly living it up these days. He seems to be a good father and a good influence. I wish him the best.

25. HELLOOOHHH!!! Jamie is putting his life on hold to watch over his daughter 24/7 because someone has to help Britney get her sschtuff together. During this time, there is no way he is able to continue his catering business. Most people are not this fortunate. In fact, that amount of money is probably nickels compared to what Britney's scandalous behavior would cost.

28. This is absolutely normal. Mr. Spears can't work his usual job. He is a straight up guy. The commish approved it, and I'm sure Brit is aware of it. Sorry, TMZ, much ado about nothing.

29. I never thought I could live without cocaine. If I can do it, Britney can.




My cooking tip of the day: Peel potatoes under RUNNING water. It is much easier.
