Britney’s Dad Gets a Retroactive Raise from the Courts

Let me see if I can explain this to y’all, because I’m not so sure I get it myself.

Jamie Spears was getting $2500/week to manage his daughter’s life. This payment system has been in place since January. But, for some reason, he decided to go back to the courts this month and be all like, “I’ve actually been doing way more work than I feel I was being paid for” and the courts were all like “Yeah, you’re right,” and now he’s getting $16K a month in back-payments for the past 11 months.

“He has been working extra hours related to various activities related to her music and her tour and activities necessary to the conservatorship,” L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz said during Monday’s hearing.

HOLY SHIT.

I DIDN’T KNOW THE COURT SYSTEM WORKED LIKE THAT!

Okay, now I get why America is so exciting! All this time I was like, “Wait, why’s everyone so pumped on America? What’s the big deal? Mostly we race cars and get into wars and then in our free time we make a A-list celebs out of receptionists at Sony BMG with funny eyeballs.” I didn’t get it.

But it turns out that you can just go to court and be all like “Dude, I am sooooo not getting paid enough” and then the court’s all like, “Dude, you are soooo not getting paid enough,” and then you’re all like, “Fuck no I’m not” and then the court’s all like, “I’m totally going to tell your boss to pay you like way more money, and the money has to start, like, last year, yo,” and then you make like $175K more for the year just for going to court and bitching about your income.

FUCK. YES.

I don’t know what you guys are doing tomorrow, but I am going to court, baby!

  • who gets paid for parenting their child? is this actually considered a job that requires steady income? because i thought that when you decide to have a kid , you’re in it for free. no matter how crazy you’re super-star daughter becomes.

  • Britney must feel drained! I can’t believe daddy is asking for more money, how selfish can you get!?

    I totally agree with Kim.. parenting your child is one of those responsibilities you just suck up and deal with.. especially if you’re daughter has single handedly supported you for the last ten or so years already.

  • Shit… if they saw my dumb ass, they’d probably go to my dad’s house and take $2500/week, a dvd player and his cat.

  • Look the man will soon retire and she’s holding him back from making a living, saving for his golden years correct?! The courts and the state of California, hell the whole world wants little miss mental stooge to earn her keep, pay her taxes, stay somewhat stablized; not to run amok naked and high, doing naughty things, giving her fortune away to con men, harassing, embarassing the public and possibly harming her children and rugged no nonsense Dad and stable, reliable son are their last great hope..

  • Ok, so I have a 3 year old who has the attitude of a teenager and thinks shes MY mother, and an almost 2 year old that just gets the biggest kicks out of screaming so loud my ears almost explode when he doesnt get what he wants, which is often since trying to jump off bookshelves, and trying to shove every toy he owns down his throat, IMO, isn’t the safest thing to do…. Not to mention the pee or poop accidents I have to clean up on a daily basis…scrape food off the walls…clean up my flooded bathroom from a 5 min bath… How much u think the courts will give me for that???????? i mean, cuz i ACTUALLY have problems so what are we talking here? Half a mil??? I mean, I understand living in his daughter’s huge mansion with servants, not to mention your own mansion when u want to go home, being able to be backstage for every concert, managing her bazillion dollars, and just basically being the dad of someone half the world would kill just to get an autograph from, is all VERY tough and hard to deal with.

  • I give a fuck!
    Leave Bitty be and let her dad go back to cookin ramen cassaroles for them rich folk in Arkysarrs.

    I wasn my old Bitty back, let her take care of herself she is fine now.

  • wait…. not sure if I have this right

    He was getting 10,000/month? and now with the add on, that is going to be pushed to 26,000/month?

    what a delicious pay increase.

    well….. at least Brit seems to be in a hell of a better place now. She would have been wastin all that money on frapps….. so…. I don’t know.

  • He has a financial adult guardianship of her. You get paid for doing this. You guys think… wow that’s a LOT of money at of course it would be if it was a small estate… but this is Britney here… he’s just getting the same percentage you’d get for watching your Alzheimer Grandfather… if he had a #1 billboard album last week.
