Colin Farrell and Ex-Girlfriend File for Conservatorship of Nonverbal Son

Angelman Syndrome Diagnosis Prompts Legal Action

Hollywood actor Colin Farrell and his former girlfriend, Kim Bordenave, have filed for a conservatorship of their 17-year-old son, James. James was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes developmental delays and speech impairment.

Legal Guardianship for James Farrell

The conservatorship petition seeks legal guardianship over James, allowing Farrell and Bordenave to make decisions regarding his education, medical care, and other essential matters. The move comes as James is unable to verbally communicate or make such decisions independently due to his condition.

Shared Responsibility with Bordenave

Farrell and Bordenave have maintained a cordial co-parenting relationship despite their separation. They share joint custody of James and have both expressed their unwavering support for his well-being.

Farrell's Other Children

Farrell has two other children: a 20-year-old son named James Padraig Farrell with Bordenave, and a younger son named Henry with his current partner. All three of Farrell's children hold special places in his heart, and he remains committed to providing them with love, care, and support.
