The most recent hearing in the singer's conservatorship battle is taking place in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Before most recent hearing began, a source close to the singer told The Sun: “There’s a chance she can join last minute like she did last time but today, we largely expect Jamie to take up most of the time talking.
"Britney has said all she has needed to say publicly for now so no, she will not be part of today’s hearing.
"She is in constant contact with her lawyer Mathew and will get updates from that.
"Her mother Lynne will also make a statement."
The informant continued: "Judge Brenda Penny has a lot to say as well.
"Britney is the most hopeful for this hearing than those close to her have ever seen since the conservatorship started.”
