Britney Spears will be under the conservatorship of her father Jamie until December 31, it was decided in court Thursday.
"Ms. Spears is reluctantly agreeing to extend the temporary [conservatorship]," L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz said after the hearing.
The commissioner also said Jamie's conservatorship could be "terminated earlier." A status hearing was set for October 28.
Jamie and attorney Andrew Wallet were put in control of the pop singer's finances and estate in February after she was hospitalized in January.
While Jamie was not spotted at the courthouse Thursday, Britney's brother Bryan was. When asked by Usmagazine.com if he had a comment, he shook his head.
Since Spears' father was put in charge, she has reunited with her sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 22 months.

Kevin Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told Usmagazine.com that a reunion "couldn't have happened without" the help of Spears' father.
"We were able to get it to a point where everyone was comfortable,” Kaplan told Us.
“We’re just very positive about it," he said. "Having her dad stabilizing everything is a good thing."
