\n\t\t\tIt\u2019s been just over a year since Tristan Thompson, NBA player and ex-boyfriend of Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian, became the legal guardian of his 18-year-old brother, Amari. Tristan, 34, remains a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers while looking after Amari, who has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. He was granted temporary guardianship in September 2023 following their mom Andrea\u2019s death [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In the state of California, a limited conservatorship is used for adults with developmental disabilities who need assistance with everyday tasks without requiring the full scope of a general conservatorship.<\/p>\n

People<\/em> was first to report the news.<\/p>\n

Thompson was granted legal guardianship of Amari in February 2024. Before he was under the care of his brother, Amari was cared for by the pair\u2019s mother Andrea Thompson<\/strong>. When Andrea died in 2023 after suffering a heart attack, Tristan was awarded temporary guardianship. Tristan previously claimed that he was unable to locate his and Amari\u2019s father, Trevor Thompson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince then, Trevor Douglas Thompson has effectively abandoned the proposed word; he failed to pay any child support despite the court order and has not been in contact with the proposed ward or Andrea Marie Brooks since July 2014,\u201d read court documents from Tristan\u2019s filing to become Amari\u2019s guardian in 2024. \u201cHe has done nothing to support or raise the proposed ward since then and has relinquished all rights to have any say in the proposed ward\u2019s care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following Andrea\u2019s death, Tristan\u2019s ex Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian<\/strong> stepped in to help him and Amari amid their struggles and grief. (Tristan and Kardashian dated on-and-off from 2016 to 2021 and share daughter True, 8, as well as son Tatum, 3. The NBA player is also father to son Prince, 10, with ex Jordan Craig<\/strong> and son Theo, 4, with Maralee Nichols<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n
