Britney Spears' dad Jamie Spears, accompanied by ex-wife Lynne, was granted temporary conservatorship over their troubled daughter in an emergency court hearing Friday. Commissioner Reva Goetz stated that she found Jamie's petition to be in Britney's "best interest."
Jamie has the power to restrict any visitors to the singer. He is also in charge of arranging 24-hour caretakers for her, as well as security.
The judge also gave Jamie the power to cut off all of the singer’s credit cards, in addition to securing her residence, changing its locks, and vacating any persons living there.
Jamie and Lynne Spears, who appeared solemn throughout the hearing, seemed relieved by the ruling. The court also granted them the power to "prosecute any civil harassment restraining orders."
A 21-day civil harassment restraining order was also granted against Sam Lutfi, with Court rep Allan Parachini confirming that he "is the subject of a civil restraining order, but that's all I can say."
At the Friday hearing attended by both of Britney’s parents, Jamie’s attorneys had requested a conservatorship, which would allow him to make medical decisions on behalf of their daughter as well as control her finances.
Earlier in the day the Lutfti spoke out against Britney's parents and their arrival in court. "I object to this. Britney is fully capable of handling her own finances. Her doctors are capable of handling her health care," he told American magazine People. "You'd think in a time like this, the family would be at the hospital taking care of their daughter, rather than fighting for her money. How sad."
