Amanda Bynes files to end nine-year conservatorship after Britney Spears is freed from father’s control
AMANDA Bynes has filed documents with the court to end her conservatorship after almost nine years.
The 35-year-old’s mother, Lynn, started the conservatorship in 2013.
Amanda’s wishes to terminate the conservatorship comes just months after fellow entertainer Britney Spears was granted the end to her own conservatorship.
The court documents, reports, ask for the outside control over her person and her estate to be terminated.
The She's The Man actress also filed paperwork giving an update on her mental state from her doctor.
A hearing to discuss Amanda's petition to terminate the conservatorship is currently scheduled for March 22.
This past September, Amanda's lawyer, David Esquibias, told the outlet that when the conservatorship was “no longer convenient" then it could be ended.
He also gave an update on his client, saying she was “doing really well, besides anxiety and trauma."

In March 2020, Amanda was ordered to enter a psychiatric facility by the judge in her conservatorship case.
That December, Amanda was spotted for the first time in six months, out on a walk, holding hands with her on-again off-again fianceé, Paul Michael.
The actress wore her hair short and jet black with bangs, and the pair smiled as they enjoyed their day.
The child star has been out of the public eye for quite some time, until her abrupt and unexpected engagement announcement in February of 2020.
Amanda shared a photo of her engagement ring, with the words: "Engaged to the love of my life."
She and Paul reportedly met while attending Alcoholics Anonymous and were engaged after only two months of dating.
Amanda introduced her new man in a video to fans, while also apologizing to those she infamously slammed on Twitter in 2013 and to promise that she was a year sober at that point in 2020.
In June 2019, the All That alum graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles.
Throughout the last few years, as Amanda has kept mostly out of the spotlight, she's only returned briefly to Instagram once in a while.
The Nickelodeon alum also done a few interviews, saying she wanted to get back into the acting industry, though her most recent project remains 2010's Easy A.
Like Amanda is doing now, Britney, who was recently freed, sought the end to the conservatorship over herself and her estate.
In November, she was released from her 13-year conservatorship after a long legal battle.
