Tristan, 32, has taken over as caregiver for his younger brother after their mom’s death.
He’s now looking to make the guardianship official, TMZ reported on Friday, as it reportedly hasn’t yet been inked.
Legal docs obtained by the outlet show that Tristan is asking the court to become the legal guardian of Amari, 17.
The docs state that Tristan took over caring for him after their mother, Andrea, died suddenly of a heart attack on January 5, 2023.
The documents also state Tristan and Amari’s dad, Trevor, has been “absent” from Amari’s life.
Tristan has been left as his closest family member who can provide care for Amari.
Amari has several medical complications that leave him unable to care for himself; Tristan plans to oversee his day-to-day needs and appointments.
The documents also show Amari is set to receive approximately $103,475 from Andrea’s death – an inheritance Tristan will “protect from loss or injury.”
TRISTAN, AMARI AND KHLOE
Thompson is the eldest of four boys and the NBA baller now plays for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Canada-born athlete also is a brother to Dishawn and Daniel Thomspon.
Amari – his youngest sibling – suffers from epilepsy, a brain disorder that causes recurring, unprovoked seizures and sometimes loss of awareness, according to the Mayo Clinic.
On a July episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, Khloe, 39, shared that her ex Tristan and Amari moved in with her following the death of their mom.
Khloe said in a confessional: “I’m grateful that I’m strong enough and brave enough to be a support system for someone else that has no other support system right now.
“You don’t have to treat me right for me to treat you right — it’s not the way I was raised.”
Khloe added: “Amari is severely disabled. It’s just really sad, because we don’t know what he knows or doesn’t know, cognitively.”
She revealed her unconventional living situation during the season finale of The Kardashians.
Khloe and her sister Kim Kardashian said on the show that they arranged to bring Amari from Canada to Los Angeles.
Kim said to Khloe on the show: “Isn’t God just funny how you were so ready to have your year of being free and now Tristan had to move in with you, his little brother had to move in with you, his roof caved in, what are the chances?”

Khloe explained that after bad weather, Tristan’s home – which was under construction – had the roof cave in.
Khloé said: “He was able to live there during renovations, but we had crazy weather for California, like extreme rains, and Tristan’s roof caved in on his home and caused flooding.
“Tristan and Amari are staying at my house right now until his home gets fixed.”
The reality star also added that her son with Tristan, named Tatum, has now been able to spend time with his uncle Amari and that they really “like each other”.
She also noted that she and Tristan are not re-exploring a romantic relationship but that they “are family”.
The couple also share a daughter, True, 5.
‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMARI!’
Khloe seems quite close to Amari while giving him a temporary home.
In July, she wished him happy birthday in a sweet Instagram photo slideshow, one showing the Hulu star posing alongside the teen, who was sitting in his wheelchair.
The Kardashian star captioned the post: “Someone is 17 today!!!! Happy birthday sweet sweet Amari!!! We are all so blessed to have been touched by an angel such as you. you are truly one of Gods greatest treasures.”
On her Instagram Story, she shared a photo of a gazebo near her pool area that was lined with letter balloons.
The balloons spelled out: “Happy birthday Amari.”
MORE ON TRISTAN AND KHLOE
Khloe legally changed the name of her and Tristan’s baby boy to Tatum Thompson just last week.
The Good American co-founder initially listed her son Tatum’s name as “Baby Kardashian” on his birth certificate, and she had yet to decide on a moniker.
Documents obtained by TMZ confirmed that the two had legally changed his name after a year of calling him “Tatum” but it not being legally so.
Tristan is also dad to son Theo, 16 months, with Maralee Nichols, and Prince, six, with model ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig.
Tristan revealed in January 2022 that he secretly fathered a son with his mistress, fitness model Maralee, 31, in 2021, while still with Khloe.
Following a month of speculation, Tristan confirmed he is son Theo’s father and issued a public apology to Khloe.
It was revealed that Khloe and Tristan had conceived another child – Tatum- via a surrogate just before she learned about his cheating scandal.
Khloe also revealed earlier on Hulu’s The Kardashians that she and Tristan are not “getting back” together and are co-parenting.
