Britney Spears appeared in Los Angeles County Superior Court this morning in a progress hearing for her conservatorship, which reports say may soon be over.
Spears arrived for her appearance in a red turtleneck paired with white flared pants. She walked ahead of fiancé Jason Trawick, reaching back to hold his hand. The two were accompanied by Spears' father, Jamie Spears, who oversees the conservatorship.
While Judge Reva Goetz sealed the courtroom at 8:30 a.m., barring the public from hearing discussion of Spears' "medical issues and financials," sources say that the topic of discussion was restoring the pop star's control of both her finances and business affairs.
That's the goal," a source explained to E! News, before adding that the process of ending the conservatorship is "complex." Another court date has been set for April.
In January, a source told The Sunday Express that Jamie Spears was hoping to get his daughter on her own two feet before her wedding, so that she could be "a free woman in every sense when she marries." Former agent Trawick proposed to Spears in December.
Spears' court-ordered conservatorship began in 2008, following her split with husband Kevin Federline and subsequent public meltdown that culminated in her shaving her head and attacking paparazzi photographers with an umbrella. The singer lost custody of her two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, before her father swooped in to help her get back on track.
Spears has extended a public thank-you to her dad in the past for overseeing the conservatorship.
"My father saved my life," Spears told the Daily Star. "I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him ... [He] basically gave up his job and his life to look after me at a time when I wasn’t even sure I wanted to go on living."

How it's Fake, when everyone is reporting that she went to court today
Well, Britney—wearing a fuschia top, black jacket, white flair pants—was accompanied by her father, Jamie Spears, fiancée Jason Trawick, a scrum of bodyguards and the de rigueur (for celebrities, anyway) assembly of sheriff deputies for her appearance at the Los Angeles County Superior Courthouse this morning.
Britney's attorney wasted no time in asking the judge to seal the courtroom at the start of the 8:30 a.m. hearing to allow for a private discussion of the singer's "medical issues and financials." The request was granted and nothing was on record in front of Judge Reva Goetz.
The news reporter today shaded Lindsay Lohan by saying that Britney did the right thing and got her life back on track with the conservatorship while Lindsay should have done this a long time ago.
I hope the c-ship finally ends this year. Her dad saved her life but she deserves her freedom back. At least legally because from what I've heard it's not really a big deal.
Poor Britney.
