Colin Farrell and ex-girlfriend Kim Bordenave file for conservatorship of son with Angelman syndrome

Irish actor Colin Farrell and his ex-girlfriend Kim Bordenave have reportedly filed for conservatorship of their 17-year-old son James.

James was born with Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes severe intellectual and physical disabilities. He is nonverbal and requires constant care.

Farrell and Bordenave have been co-parenting James since their split in 2006. They are now seeking conservatorship in order to make legal and financial decisions on James' behalf.

Conservatorship is a legal arrangement that gives a person or organization the power to make decisions for another person who is unable to do so themselves. In this case, Farrell and Bordenave would be appointed as James' conservators.

The decision to seek conservatorship is a difficult one, but it is often necessary to ensure that a person with disabilities receives the care and support they need. Farrell and Bordenave's decision to file for conservatorship is a testament to their love and commitment to their son.
