An insider told Us that news of the engagement didn’t come as a shock as ‘nothing Amanda does surprises them anymore.’
The magazine spoke with Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers about what her longtime conservatorship, similar to the one Britney Spears in under, will mean for her wedding plans.
‘As Amanda’s conservator, her mother has responsibility over her daughter’s decision-making, including whether or not to allow her to marry,’ Rahmani said.
‘If Amanda’s parents did not consent to the marriage, they can petition the court to annul the marriage on the basis of Amanda’s ‘unsound mind.”‘
