BRITNEY SPEARS’ FATHER WILL GET PAID $2,500 A WEEK FROM HIS DAUGHTER’S ESTATE
March 06, 2008
Britney Spears' father, Jamie Spears, will receive $2,500 a week from the singer's estate, the court ruled on Wednesday.
According to court documents obtained by CelebTV.com, Los Angeles Court Commissioner Reva Goetz ordered the pop star's estate to pay James Spears' $2,500 in weekly compensation.
Another court-approved perk for Jamie Spears for being his daughter's temporary keeper: the authority to lease a car.
On Wednesday, Jamie Spears' control of his daughter's affairs was extended through July 31.
Britney's father, who recently worked as a caterer, was named conservator of his daughter and co-conservator of her estate after she was hospitalized twice in January.
Goetz also ordered Spears' estate to make a $58,800 payment to Samuel D. Ingham III, the court-appointed attorney who represents Britney Spears in the conservatorship case. She also authorized the pop star's psychiatrist to hire two other doctors and pay them retainers totaling
$9,000 from her estate.
An attorney for James Spears, Vivian Thoreen, argued in court documents that the extension of the temporary conservatorship was necessary because Jon Eardley, an attorney who made an unsuccessful attempt to move the probate case to federal court last month, had filed additional papers in U.S. District Court. Those documents were under seal.
