Britney Spears petitions court to let fiance help with her personal affairs

(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears is going back to court over her conservatorship, but this time it is to ask a judge to appoint her fiance as a co-conservator, so he can help oversee her personal affairs along with her father.

If a judge approves the request later this month, Jason Trawick would join Jamie Spears as having control over the singer's personal decisions, including medical care.

The request was filed Friday through Spears' court-appointed attorney, Samuel Ingham III. Trawick has served as the 30-year-old singer's agent and appeared in court with his future wife at a March 22 hearing that was sealed to the public.

According to People magazine the 40-year-old agent will have legal control over Spears, including decisions concerning her health, but Jamie Spears will retain sole control of his daughter's multimillion-dollar fortune.

The couple announced in December that they were engaged after dating since 2009. Some have speculated that this petition indicates a wedding may be happening soon.

Jamie Spears and an attorney have controlled the Grammy-winning singer's personal and financial affairs since February 2008, when her father intervened after months of Spears' erratic behavior.
