[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t read through all of the pages.

If he is still under conservatorship, is he even legally married? Wouldn’t he need their permission to get married? I’m sure his wife is behind some of this - she has no legal recourse here as long as he is under a conservatorship.

And what about his kids? What is the legal status of children born to someone under conservatorship?[/quote]

[b]The conservatorship is likely financial only in nature. Conservatorships can vary in scope. They likely only petitioned to control his assets, not his person. [/b]

The bottom line is they'll have to account to the court for their actions or inactions as conservators. It's wrong at baseline that they never filed required accountings, but that can be rectified now, and the court will likely require it to be. [/quote]

This isn't true. The conservatorship explicitly granted the parents power over health decisions, access to his health records, and power over any contracts he could sign (which, I suppose, could also include a marriage license).

The PP raises a good point about whether Oher's marriage license is even valid. You'd probably need to look at state laws and prior judicial precedents. Maybe Oher could get married in an other state, but a TN marriage license might not be valid. It's a really tricky situation from a legal perspective.[/quote]
