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.”‘

In the past she has been linked to Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane and her Sydney White co-star Matt Long, but did not confirm the rumors.
Amanda, who has struggled with bipolar disorder and addiction over the years, reportedly checked out of a sober living facility alone near the end of last year.
Until she finds her own place in Los Angeles, she decided to stay with her parents Lynn and Rick Bynes, according to an Entertainment Tonight insider.
During the first half of December, Amanda got permission from a judge to live on her own once she obtains a place to do so.
Lynn and Rick currently hold a conservatorship over Amanda and in 2018 the arrangement was lengthened to last until this coming August, The Blast reports.

Amanda’s past legal problems date back to a driving under the influence charge in 2012 – two years after her last film role in Easy A.
In 2013 she got caught smoking marijuana in her building’s lobby in New York, then threw her bong out the 36th-floor window when the cops went into her apartment.
That same year she started a fire in a stranger’s driveway and was placed under psychiatric hold for 72 hours.
A year later she made – then took back – sexual abuse allegations against Rick. She explained her decision to make the accusation: ‘The microchip in my brain made me say those things but he’s the one that ordered them to microchip me.’
