Christopher Thomas Alber, the son of Rooney’s current wife Jan Rooney, has been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Rooney and his home. The order also included Alber’s wife, Christina.

According to the court filing, Rooney is alleging that Alber is verbally abusive, threatening, and has blocked the actor’s access to his finances. The filing also alleges that Alber has denied Rooney medication and food. The Albers deny any wrongdoing.

Rooney’s attorney told that court that he has found substantial sums of money missing from Rooney’s bank accounts, and that Rooney has no knowledge of how the funds were spent.

In addition to issuing the restraining order, the court also ordered Alber to turn over all of Rooney’s identification cards, including his state ID card, passport, insurance cards and Screen Actors Guild membership card.
