I knew there would be some problems with either of the parents being given guardianship and I believe they were expecting this. They did make the statement that they wanted a third party involved so as to avoid the appearance that they were after any money. I think that today's hearing and decision are merely temporary and that the judge may be considering who the third party appointed should be.
By law, if the doctors and hopsital want to keep Britney past the 72 hours, she would then be entitled to representation by counsel, but not for the first 72 hours. Since Lutfi has been ruled to be a danger to Britney, I think the decision by the court to issue the TRO against him will most likely be upheld and possibly even last longer than the originally-ordered 22 days. I won't be a bit surprised if the judge amends his ruling to add a third party to the guardianship of Britney by Monday. I don't believe that Britney will be allowed to leave the hospital after the 72-hour hold and that the doctors will ask for the 5250 in order to keep her the additional 14 days. Just my opinion.
