Dad's Control Over Britney To End

It's a Circus on stage, but off stage it's far less chaotic. A source close to Britney Spears tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that the Circus Tour has been the best thing to happen to the once-troubled singer and she has made so much progress that her father's control over her affairs will end.

"Britney is in a terrific place right now," the source said. "She absolutely loves being back on tour."

Initially her father Jamie was worried about the demands of a tour. "He wasn't a big supporter of her going on the road, he didn't want her to take on too much, too soon," the source said. But "Britney was absolutely adamant that she be allowed to go on tour. She assured her family, and management that she was ready to do this, and that she really needed to do this."

And so far she has handled it extremely well, so well, in fact, that RadarOnline.com has learned her father will not accompany her for the entire tour. What's more, people close to the situation are now saying there will be an end to Jamie's conservatorship of Britney.

"This was the plan all along, to slowly get her back to the routine of her life, it (the conservatorship) won't last longer than it needs to," the source said. "Success will be achieved when this conservatorship ends, and Britney is ready to resume full control of her life."
