The singer has been under conservatorship since 2008. Her father Jamie Spears was made her conservator by the court which allowed him to make all decisions regarding Spears life.&nbsp;

Late 2000s 
 
The singer's erratic&nbsp;behaviour and public meltdown drew attention of the media with most wondering if she was mentally unwell.&nbsp; 
The singer was spotted driving her car with her infant son in her lap on one occasion while another time she publicly shaved her head in public and attacked a paparazzi's car with a baseball bat. 
 
The star also took several trips to rehab and was hospitalised for mental illness twice. Eventually she lost custody of her two kids to husband, Kevin Federline.&nbsp;

2008 
 
After Britney's second psychiatric hold, her father Jamie Spears petitioned to the Los Angeles County Superior Court for an emergency "temporary conservatorship" over his daughter. Spears senior was declared as his daughter's conservator by the court which gave him complete control over Britney's estate and her well-being along with co-conservator Andrew Wallet who handled her money.&nbsp; 
 
Britney's father also got control over her life, and had the rights to restrict who she meets, her business deals and what she even eats. 
&nbsp; 
By the end of 2008, Jamie was made her permanent conservator.&nbsp;

2009 
 
The movement that has now become the #FreeBritney movement, saw its origin a year after Jamie took control of Britney's life and estate.

A website by the name FreeBritney.net started in 2009 which questioned the court's order with fans questioning the importance of legal guardianship for their favourite star.&nbsp;

Since then, the cause has gained a massive amount of followers and protests are frequently held outside of courthouses during hearings regarding the case.

2019 
 
Britney remained active in the music scene despite being under conservatorship for over 10 years without speaking much about it. 
 
In early 2019, Spears cancelled her upcoming Vegas residency and announced "an indefinite work hiatus," due to her father's poor health. 
 
In March, Wallet stepped down as co-conservator and suggested the court accept his resignation Without citing a proper reason, Wallet simply stated to the court that Britney would "substantial detriment, irreparable harm and immediate danger" if he didn’t step down, media reported.&nbsp; 
 
Soon after Wallet's exit, the singer checked into a mental health facility for a month-long stay.&nbsp;

Late 2019 
 
The same Jamie stepped out down temporarily from his role as a conservator and a judge approved the singer’s longtime "care-manager" Jodi Montgomery to take over the role. 
 
Jamie's decision, according to reports, came after an altercation with Britney's son. Although in court he stated bad health as the reason for taking time off.&nbsp;

2020 
 
#FreeBritney movement gained momentum as fans rallied for the singer and argued on social media that the singer was sending signals asking for help through her various social media posts.&nbsp;

Over 134,000 concerned fans signed a petition asking for Spears to get her own lawyer and finally get out of the conservatorship. 
 
Meanwhile, Britney's conservatorship was extended by the court owing to the pandemic keeping in mind the social distancing norms.&nbsp; 
 
Jamie faced a major setback when Britney's brother, Bryan Spears, said that his sister has "always wanted to get out of the "guardianship." 
 
"She's been in this thing for quite some time now. Obviously, there was a need for it in the beginning," Bryan said during an appearance on the 'As NOT Seen on TV' podcast. "Now they've made some changes and all we can do is hope for the best!" 
 
Britney also opposed the idea of reinstating Jamie as the co-conservator. Her conservatorship was however extended to 2021.&nbsp;

2021 
 
Documentary&nbsp;'Framing Britney Spears' released showed the events that led to Britney's conservatorship in the first place. The documentary clearly showed how the media hounded Britney for years and created a certain image of the singer which she had desired to break free of.&nbsp; 
 
The star reportedly suggested that a trust company take over her conservatorship and formally asked the court to nix Jamie's return, and eventually, a judge ruled that Jamie and Bessemer Trust Co. would work together to oversee the star's estate. 
 
Jamie&nbsp;meanwhile, declares&nbsp;that his daughter has dementia and hence cannot be removed from conservatorship.

August 2021 
 
Jamie Spears reluctantly agrees to step away from his responsibilities as conservator of the pop star's estate after initially denying to do so. "Even as Mr Spears is the unremitting target of unjustified attacks, he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests," his lawyer said in the court filing. "So even though he must contest this unjustified Petition for his removal, Mr Spears intends to work with the Court and his daughter’s new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator." 
 
Days later Rosengart filed a supplemental petition to suspend and remove Jamie from the conservatorship immediately. Rosengart argued that Jamie's filing was proof that he is more concerned for his own well-being instead of his daughter's.
