Britney Spears is ready to "regain control of her life."

The X Factor judge is reportedly ready for her father Jamie Spears' conservatorship over her - meaning he is in charge of her personal and professional affairs - to come to an end after just over four years as she is now in a much better place in her life than she was when the ruling was initially put in place.

"Britney very much wants the conservatorship to end, she doesn't understand why it has gone on this long. Britney is now a judge on a national hit television show, which will be live when it airs this fall. Britney feels she is ready to regain control of her life now. Britney's dad, Jamie, has conservatorship of her personally and professionally, and this has been going on now for almost four-and-half years," a source said.

However, the singer's doctors are said to not support her bid to have the conservatorship come to an end. "Britney's doctors just don't feel she is ready for the conservatorship to end though, as she has a very complicated mental health diagnosis," the source added.
