Says a source: “It seems highly unlikely that the conservatorship will end by the end of summer. Britney’s just not ready, yet. She has good and bad days.” “Britney has complex,” the insider continues. “Issues on both a personal and professional level, and that is the reason the conservatorship is still in place.” It’s all moot to a degree. L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz is the sole person who can determine if and when the conservatorship will end.
