Shelby County Probate Court issued three subpoenas Tuesday as part of Oher’s attempt to end the conservatorship with the Tuohys.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Lawyers for former NFL player Michael Oher are seeking his school records and information about contracts and payouts related to the film “The Blind Side” as part of his highly publicized effort to end a legal agreement between him and Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy.
Oher, 37, filed a petition Aug. 14 in probate court accusing the Tuohys of lying to him by having him sign papers making them his conservators rather than his adoptive parents nearly two decades ago. Lawyers representing the couple also said the Tuohys would enter into a consent order to end the conservatorship they say Oher was aware of long before this year.
But Oher’s conservatorship was approved “despite the fact that he was over 18 years old and had no diagnosed physical or psychological disabilities,” his petition said. Michael Oher speaks to promote his book ‘When Your Back’s Against The Wall’ at Ivy Bookshop in Baltimore, Maryland.The Tuohy family at the premiere of “The Blind Side”: Collins Tuohy, Sean Tuohy Jr., Leigh Anne Tuohy, and Sean Tuohy.The attorneys said they estimated each of the Tuohys and Oher received $100,000 apiece, and the couple paid taxes on Oher’s portion for him.
