Spears had been embroiled in a bitter battle with her father Jamie Spears who was her guardian for the past 13 years under a controversial legal arrangement.
Spears' father has been accused of profiting from the guardianship by her fans and representatives. The guardianship was set up in 2007 after Spears attacked a paparazzo's car at a gas station.
The pop singer has slammed the legal arrangement as "abusive". Her lawyers had demanded to scrap the binding.

"On cloud 9 right now," Spears said in an Instagram post on Thursday, soon after the court removed her father from the conservatorship. She shared a video of herself flying a plane.
