NBA player Tristan Thompson has recently filed a petition to become the sole legal guardian of his 17-year-old brother, Amari. Thompson, 32, expressed concerns about their father's absence and lack of financial support, leading him to request legal authority over Amari's well-being.
Thompson's petition, filed earlier this month, explains that their father, Trevor Thompson, has been uninvolved in their lives since their mother, Andrea, took on the role of Amari's sole legal guardian in 2014. Despite a court order for child support, Trevor has failed to fulfill his responsibilities or maintain contact with Amari and Andrea.
