The ruling was announced on Tuesday, weeks after Bynes had asked the court to stop the legal arrangement that had been in place for more than eight years, BuzzFeed reported.
The former Nickelodeon star was first placed under the conservatorship in 2013 after a series of legal issues and an apparent mental health crisis. https://t.co/i2D6aJk6gS
The conservatorship started in 2013 after concerning behavior in public and several arrests, The New York Times reported.
She had called those incidents a dark period, NBC News reported.
Her parents were put in charge of her medical and mental health decisions. They also controlled her finances, the newspaper reported.
They had not controlled her finances under a conservatorship order since 2017 when her money had been moved into a trust, where her father was named as a trustee, NBC News reported.
Her mother still controlled her medical and personal decisions.
Bynes is now 35 and had asked to end the legal oversight last month.
As part of the agreement, Bynes had to test negative for illegal substances and had to manage her mental health.
She has lived in a “structured community for women” since 2020 so she could live independently with check-ins with a case manager, NBC News reported.
Bynes is working on a bachelor’s degree at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. She had already earned an associate’s degree cum laude in merchandise product development from the same institution.
According to her attorney, Bynes thinks “her condition is improved and protection of the court is no longer necessary,” BuzzFeed reported.
Her mother, Lynn Bynes, who had been appointed her daughter’s conservator, agreed with the move saying she was “very proud of Amanda and the progress she has made.”
