[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the Free Britney nonsense speaks volumes about how ignorant most people are when it comes to mental health and/or addiction. As a lawyer, I can tell you that families struggle to protect their loved ones. It is not easy to secure a guardianship or conservatorship. There are people who prey upon others and steal their money, retirement, SS, VA benefits, etc. Preventing her from marrying protects her interests. I can’t tell you how many families are left with no way to protect their loved one once a spouse is in the mix. [/quote] If she is sufficiently competent to headline a Vegas show and financially support her entire family, then she’s sufficiently competent to make her own life decisions. That’s the crux of it. So what if she loses her money and never performs again? It’s her life. Those are her choices to make. [/quote] How did the Vegas residency go? Was she able to handle it? Is she still performing? Perhaps she better to do it? Maybe it was a test to see how she did? Here’s the thing: even a trained monkey can dance on cue. She is accustomed to a certain lifestyle. It’s expensive. Her lack of capacity will require a lifetime of a paid trustee to handle her business and ensure she is properly cared for. Someone needed to set that up. You people really don’t understand how difficult it is to deal with a person with mental health and addiction issues. Because of her celebrity, it’s an added layer of issues. [/quote] The question is competency, right? Because a competent adult has every right to blow all their money and become homeless and destitute. Do we know that she's actually incompetent?[/quote] Apparently the court has reach that conclusion multiple times over the last decade or so. It’s doubtful the court has screwed up. It’s doubtful she’s magically improved. [/quote]
