American singer-songwriter Britney Spears appeared in a Los Angeles court for a case her parents are fighting over her conservatorship.

Spears came with her mother Lynne Spears who is claiming the access to her daughter's medical information but is not willing to be a co-conservator, reports TMZ.

However, Lynne and Britney have been estranged for the last 15 years after her break up with then partner Justin Timberlake.

After Lynne read online about Jamie forcing their daughter into a mental health facility, she came to stay with Spears for 30 days at the health facility.

Jamie Spears, Britney's father has been her conservator since 2008 and is also known to save her life in 2008 when the singer was facing a hard time.

After the hearing, Britney and her parents came to an agreement on one thing. The judge, however, also ordered an expert evaluation, probably a mental examination for the singer.

Britney also requested the judge to grant her certain freedom, which she is unable to get under conservatorship. The judge denied any such demands.

Later, Britney left the courtroom barefoot.

In January, Spears announced that she was taking an indefinite break from work to support her father. After which she was sent to mental health care to seek treatment.

The 'Toxic' singer left the mental health facility after a month of treatment.
