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.

47. If I had the money I'd pay him 2500 to be my dad for a week. I'd pay anything to have my dad for a week.
God Bless my sweet daddy, I miss you and ache for you everyday of my life.

48. Jaime Spears has hired numerous people with Britney's money to take care of Britney. he has not given up his life. Britney's estate is a revokable trust administrated by her brother. Papa Spears only responsibility is to ask for money from the trust supposedly for britney's needs. Why she needs to pay $30,000 in rent for a house she's not even allowed to visist I don't know.
As far as his convenient statements that he is willing to end the conservatorship early, I believe that as much as the statement in People that claimed Britney was fine with her family. Britney was asked if she was happy with her family by the paps and she said no. my guess Jaime spears threatened to not let her out of the house after that, just like he took away her cell phone.
If this was anyone else doing this to her except her father (who britney Spears was vehemently against getting the conservatorship) people would be outraged. What is wrong with you people?

49. I am the executor for my grandmother's estate and I can tell you this, its like having a second job. You have to deal with family issues and petty stuff. I’ve had to take off work to attend court hearings, pay bills and clean houses, meet with agents everything. You will never get back the amount of time and money you put into this because it takes a large amount of unaccounted for time. If Mr. Spears is unable to work his regular job while taking care of his ADULT child and she bring in over 700K a month just setting on her fanny then I see no reason that he should not be compensated fairly for his time. Plus it says he can draw does not mean that he will. It's no diffrence then a parent spending SSI money to care for a child and pay their bills if they can not work. I'm sure a large part of this money is being spent on Brit and Mr. Spears expenses because of Brit .

50. People who have a problem with this are majorly screwed up. If they reported that Britney spent $70,000 on a new car or for a pool or some other frivolous crap you wouldn't blink an eye. This is a small price to pay (to her own family - not some creepy hanger-on) to enable them to help her back to normalcy. If her family gets shut out again, she will probably wind up dead very soon after.

51. He has every right to be paid - he is a well know chef areound the area and could easily make that and much more working - I paid rent when I lived at home after school, were they bad parent to get paid to care for me in the house I was raised in? Absolutely not! She is no longer a minor. Grow up!

52. This whole conservatorship thing has resulted in some impressive paydays for many people, not just Papa!

53. So why shouldn't he get paid? He has to babysit a grown woman all day everyday. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

54. It is soooo obvious the majority of you are childless or a parent of a very young child - you have zero concept about life and the realities that follow. He should be paid.

55. 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 !!!

56. #50. As someone who knows, I can say you don't know what you're talking about in this situation. She doesn't like him all the time because he's not fun. He's not supposed to be fun.

You're just mad cause Sam can't steal her money any longer. Jamie is her dad & he deserves every penny & more for taking care of his daughter. The Spears family have always been close until Sam came along & tried to isolate Britney from everyone who truly loved her. Hats off to Mr. Spears for doing such a great job & goodby to Sam Lutfi who is a monster. I hope the restraining order stays in place for a long long time.

58. #50 - so you know them personally? Or are you quoting the National Enquirer? You are so wrong in so many ways - you know nothing and pretending you do makes you look so totally foolish.

59. This is not right on so many levels.......family should not take money from family! You should care for your loved ones out of LOVE!!!!!! I guess this selfish brat gets her greediness from her dad....

60. #50 jh.......Yours is the first post I have read here that makes sense. He doesn't need that much money when others are there doing the real dirty work.
