When Britney Spears appears in front of a Los Angeles judge Wednesday, she'll do it 13 years into the conservatorship that has control over her life and money.

The Associated Press

California law says a conservatorship, called a guardianship in some states, is justified for a “person who is unable to provide properly for his or her personal needs for physical, food, clothing, or shelter," or for someone who is “substantially unable to manage his or her own financial resources or resist fraud or undue influence."

Legally, Spears can get married, but the conservatorship must approve it as with other major life decisions. Now, even minor hearings can bring dozens of protesters to the courthouse, carrying signs like “CONSERVATORSHIP IS SLAVERY” and “THIS IS TOXIC.” Many say they relate to her struggles with mental health and the system. The movement, or at least its sentiments, has attracted her fellow celebrities, including Bette Midler,James Spears has called the group conspiracy theorists, and says those who shout #FreeBritney don’t understand the totality of the situation.
