Tristan Thompson Seeks Conservatorship for Brother Amari
28 Apr
Summary
- Tristan Thompson filed for limited conservatorship of his brother Amari.
- Amari suffers from intellectual disability and epilepsy syndrome.
- Tristan was granted legal guardianship in February 2024.
Tristan Thompson has filed to be appointed as the limited conservator for his younger brother, Amari. Court documents reveal that Amari, aged 19, has a significant intellectual disability and developmental delay, which prevents him from independently managing his personal needs and financial affairs. He is diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy impacting cognitive functions and behavior.
Thompson has been actively involved in Amari's care since their mother, Andrea Thompson, passed away in 2023. He was granted legal guardianship of Amari in February 2024. The filing notes that Amari does not oppose the conservatorship. California law defines limited conservatorship for adults with developmental disabilities needing assistance with daily tasks.
Previously, Tristan Thompson was unable to locate their father, Trevor Thompson, who had reportedly abandoned his paternal responsibilities since July 2014. Following their mother's death, Khloé Kardashian provided support to Tristan and Amari during their grieving process, emphasizing family unity.
