Britney Spears's father has given up his full-time job so as to focus on
his role as co-conservator of his troubled daughter's business affairs,
according to media reports today.
Jamie Spears and attorney Andrew Wallet were granted temporary control of the
singer's affairs in February after she was sectioned following a custody dispute
at her home.
Court papers revealed that the caterer quit his job to help his daughter pull
her life back.
The pop star's father will be awarded US$2,500 per week for the role from
Britney's estate.
A request for a US$10,000 to cover back pay for the first month of his
conservatorship was also granted, reports People.com.
The court documents also give the reason why he needs to quit his job.
"As a result of the responsibilities Mr. Spears has assumed as Temporary
Conservator of the Person and Temporary Co-Conservator of the Estate, he has
been unable to continue his prior employment and thus no longer has the source
of income he previously had in order to pay his expenses and bills."
It seems Jamie' work is paying off as his 26-year-old was recently granted
more time with her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
She has also made two guest appearances in the US television series "How I
Met Your Mother" which received positive reviews and drew record viewers.
