[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

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]

Maybe the issue is that she's not only a danger to herself, but a danger to others? She is able to headline a Vegas show, but maybe that's because of the medication and therapy she is taking? Maybe if she is left to her own devices that wouldn't be possible?

A conservatorship is not easy to get, nor is it easy to maintain for so many years. This conservatorship has been reviewed numerous times already. I find it hard to believe that everyone involved is doing something illegal and forcing this onto a competent person.[/quote]

Actually they aren't that difficult to get--if she had doctors declare her incompetent and nobody objected.[/quote]

I would guess that "Doctors" do not easily and eagerly want to go to court to declare someone incompetent. It's a big deal, they too understand agency and the profound importance of individual rights and autonomy. It is likely a last resort in a very  difficult, desperate situation. [/quote]
And I would guess that paying off the right people gets some unethical people exactly what they want.[/quote]
