Michael Oher is officially no longer tied to the Tuohy family.
A Tennessee judge has terminated the conservatorship agreement between Michael Oher, the former NFL offensive tackle, and Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, a Memphis couple. The agreement was originally agreed upon in 2004, and Oher claimed that he only found out in February about the conservatorship, originally believing that he was adopted.
Oher and the Tuohy family's relationship was the subject of the critically-acclaimed 2009 movie 'The Blind Side,' where it was said that Oher had been adopted by the family.

Shelby County Probate Court Judge Kathleen Gomes terminated the agreement, but said that she is not dismissing the case. Oher has asked financial accounting of the money that the Tuohys had earned by using his name, image, and likeness.
Gomes said she was "disturbed" that the agreement had been reached, saying she has never seen a conservatorship agreement done with anyone who was not disabled in in her over 40-year career.

Oher filed a court petition in August accusing the Tuohys of lying to him about the conservatorship. Lawyers of both parties had agreed to end the conservatorship.
The Tuohys said earlier this month that they "stand ready, willing and able to terminate the conservatorship," but they also "vehemently" denied Oher's other claims of lying about the alleged arrangement.
The Tuohy attorneys estimate that the four members of the family made $100,000 from the movie, but Oher's petition alleged that the family made millions.
