Jamie Spears, the pop star's father, testified that his daughter planned to move home to Louisiana as soon as a custody dispute over her two children is settled.
Spears' father took over his daughter's business and personal affairs in February after she was twice taken to Los Angeles-area hospitals and held for psychiatric evaluations.
Spears has not attended the trial, which is her right because she is accused of a misdemeanor and not a more serious felony charge.
The case went to trial after negotiations failed over a plea bargain that would have avoided a trial.
Spears could face a maximum six months in jail if convicted but is more likely to get a fine and probation.
