Carol Burnett Seeks Help From Britney Spears' Former Co-Conservator Jodi Montgomery In Handling Guardianship Of Grandson
Carole Burnett has sought out the services of Britney Spears' co-conservator to help her manage the guardianship of her daughter's son.
In court documents obtained by Radar the comedy legend, 88, and her husband Brian Miller are seeking permanent guardianship of their grandson Dylan — as his mother Erin Hamilton battles a drug addiction.
“In the past 19 years, Erin has been in and out of rehabilitation centers and has been institutionalized a total of eight times for a minimum of 30 days each time,” the Annie actress explained in the legal papers.
Burnett detailed that her daughter had been put on a 51/50 hold for “suicidality and drug use.” She also explained that the boy's father battled substance abuse issues as well, and could not sufficiently take care of Dylan himself.
Now the entertainer is asking the court — who will make the final decision during a hearing later this month — to sign off on acquiring the help of Jodi Pais Montgomery to act as a private professional fiduciary in Dylan's guardianship.
