In the latest development in Britney Spears’s continuing family drama, a Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner ordered the troubled singer’s estate to pay her father, James Spears, $2,500 in weekly compensation, and extended his authority over his daughter’s affairs at least until July 31, The Associated Press reported.

The commissioner, Reva Goetz, also ordered the estate to make a $58,800 payment to the court-appointed lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, who represents Ms. Spears in the conservatorship case, and authorized Ms. Spears’s psychiatrist to hire two other doctors and pay them retainers totaling $9,000 from her estate. Following Ms. Spears’s hospitalization in January, Mr. Spears was named her conservator and co-conservator of her estate.
