Britney Spears is due back in court today in a bid to regain her independence.
On the surface, the singer appears to have gone some way towards getting life back on track following her January meltdown which resulted in her father Jamie being awarded conservatorship over her affairs.
Now all the recovering pop wreck has to do is convince a judge that she’s ready to take back control of her life – and turning up to today's hearing will be a good place to start.
"If she wants more freedoms, she'll be there," says a source.
"It's highly unlikely Judge Goetz would sign off on changes to the conservatorship order without being able to look Britney in the eye."
Today is expected to be less about whether Brit is capable of looking after her boys, Sean Preston, 2, and 21-month-old Jayden James, and more about whether she is fit to look after herself.
"It's a lot like the last time she was in court for the custody hearings," a case insider explains to OK!.
"In that case, she had been evaluated by the court to judge her parenting skills. This time, it's about her being able to care for herself."
The singer saw her visitation increased from 9 hours a week to 27 on May 6.
