Amanda Bynes formally requests that her legal guardianship, which she has had since 2013, be terminated

Amanda Bynes, who at the time was one of the actresses of Nickelodeon more successful by programs like the amanda show and later by movies like a girl in troublerequested before the Ventura County Superior Court the termination of the legal guardianship under which he has been since 2013.

Due to the contentious legal battle that Britney Spears had to wage to end her conservatorship, you may think that Amanda’s case is similar, but the situations of both women are very different.

Why is he under legal guardianship?

The crucial difference between the two cases is that Amanda’s parents, who until now are her legal guardians, fully agree with the termination of guardianship and support their daughter’s decision. You see, a legal guardianship is not inherently bad; it is a measure that in many cases must be taken if a person is not capable of representing himself.

In Amanda’s case, her substance abuse and mental health issues made her legally unable to manage her assets and represent herself legally, so her parents became her guardians.

The problems Amanda faced

Although Amanda is currently completely sober and is even studying for a university degree, she did reach rock bottom before receiving the help she needed, since she had serious drug problems and her mental state was not doing well at all. In 2010 she retired from acting and that turned out to be a huge blow for her.

He had no purpose in life. All my life I had worked and suddenly I was left doing nothing. I had a lot of time on my hands and I would just wake up and get high and do that all day.

Amanda has shown that she is better

If a person shows improvement and finds that he or she is in full use of their mental and physical faculties, to the point where they can navigate life, with all the responsibilities that this entails, without help, guardianship may no longer be necessary. In 2018, Amanda announced that she had been sober for four years, and thanked her parents for their support.

The actress seeks to end her guardianship because “her condition has improved and she no longer requires or sees the legal protection of a third party as unnecessary.” A hearing will take place on March 22 in which a judge will determine how to proceed in her case.

Her parents’ lawyer said that they will not attend the hearing, but that they agree with their daughter’s decision, who “wants to live her life free from ties” and will not oppose her request.

lynn bynes [mamá de Amanda] fully supports her request and is very proud of her for how hard she has worked to get to this point.
