If Oher can prove they got him, a minor, to enter into a conservatorship under the false pretense that it’s an adoption, that contract is voidable. And, if they used love, affection, and removal from poverty through adoption as the proverbial carrot to get him to sign that conservatorship, that family is gonna have a bad day in court.

Lesson of the day: NEVER contract with a minor. Unless lawyers are involved and things are buttoned up, the minor may be able to void the contract, while you don’t get that luxury.

I thought you were going to say never try to help fat people. Totally misread the direction you were headed there.

I realize you're related to Oher (you must be after this embarrassing post), which is exactly why you should know he wasn't a minor when he signed anything.

If Oher actually had a case, he would have sued YEARS ago.

Huh, didn’t know that. Then Oher is an idiot.

Pretty sure he already admitted it in another thread. Check with NV. He’s usually in charge of finding them.

Ummm, he was 18 at the time and his birth mother agreed to it and was present for the court proceedings.

Would tend to think and well as Oher should.......What would his career looked like if they had not stopped, asked him why he was sleeping in the gym, and they had not got him into school. Hmmmmmmmm. Think on that for a minute Big Mike??

So let me get this straight..

His dad abandoned him.

His mom neglects him for crack and leaves him homeless.

And the bad guys are the white people who took him in but didnt give him a good enough deal on the movie rights? :lol:
