Fans had gathered outside the LA court to support Spears, who had described the guardianship as abusive.<\/p>

Her father Jamie earlier said it was “necessary”, but\u00a0agreed it was time for her “to re-take control of her life”<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“Her life was in shambles and she was in physical, emotional, mental and financial distress,” lawyers representing Jamie Spears said in earlier court filings.<\/p>

The conservatorship had power over her finances and career decisions plus major personal matters, such as her visits with her teenage sons and whether she can get remarried.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On Friday, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny ruled in favour of the singer’s request to end it, which was not opposed by any of the parties involved.<\/p>
