The conservatorship has been in place since February 2008, after Britney was hospitalized at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute.

"Britney essentially has joint custody of the boys with Kevin. They co-parent them," the source said. "Her boys are simply the most important thing in the world to her.

"He knew he had to step up in order to save her. Jamie and Britney have had their fair share of fights, but now they have a very strong father-daughter bond," says the source. "Britney recognizes the sacrifices her dad has made."

"No one wants Britney to fall prey to the people that were in her life during the time when her problems overwhelmed her," the source adds. "Britney's inner circle now is very close, and trusted."

The conservatorship likely will end in two phases, with Britney taking control of her financial affairs in the second stage.

"There will be a hearing for the conservatorship to end. This won't be done in secret," the source told Radar Online. "There is nothing to hide, everyone just wants to be cautious that it's the right time, and all signs seem to indicate that it is."
