Nicolas Cage accused of allegedly `abusing and traumatising son Weston`

The mother of Nicolas Cage's troubled son Weston has accused the actor of 'abusing and traumatising' him as a child, new court documents reveal.

The papers were filed in Los Angeles just days before Weston Cage, 20, was hospitalised and put under mental evaluation following an incident at a Hollywood restaurant.

Weston's mum, Christina Fulton, 43, claims in the papers that as a child Weston suffered from poor mental health.

The document states, 'Since birth and early childhood Plaintiff and Defendant Cage's only son, Weston, has suffered from a number of mental, psychological, and physical ailments.'

The documents are the latest in an ongoing lawsuit filed by Fulton against Cage, 47, for fraud and breach of contract.

In a deposition on April 1, Cage refused to answer questions on whether his son suffered from Tourette's syndrome, severe depression and suicidal tendencies.

Cage said he would not answer the questions on the grounds they invaded Weston's privacy and his own.

Fulton is asking a Los Angeles judge top compel Cage to testify – and has requested a protective order to keep Weston's medical history private.

The papers state, 'Information regarding Weston's medical and mental health information are directly relevant to Plaintiff's action against Cage for the purpose of establishing (1) an exchange of adequate consideration in the formation of the Agreement and (2) Cage's procurement of the Acknowledgements through undue influence and duress, with knowledge of Weston's medical and mental health condition, by abusing and traumatizing Weston and, in turn, exploiting Plaintiff's concerns over Weston.'

Lawyers for Cage and Fulton will appear before a judge in court on July 14th for a hearing in the case

Nicolas Cage's Son In Hospital After Street Fight

Nicolas Cage's son Weston Coppola Cage, was hospitalized on Tuesday (7th June 2011) afternoon after becoming involved in a fight on the streets of Hollywood. Nicolas Cage's son was admitted to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre with unspecified injuries and the Academy Award-winner has now joined him at the medical facility, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Authorities responded to reports of the fight near Ivar and Selma avenues, but no arrests were made at the time. A Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman told E! News that no criminal investigation is being undertaken. Celebrity website Tmz are reporting that Weston may have been arguing with his trainer after being told he couldn't eat something on the menu at the Farmer's Kitchen restaurant.

The spat allegedly spilled onto the street, with police handcuffing Weston shortly afterwards. Weston's father was arrested in New Orleans back in April on suspicion of domestic abuse and disturbing the peace. Prosecutors later declined to press charges according to the actor's attorney.

Weston Coppola is Nicolas Cage's son from his relationship with actress Christina Fulton. Weston appeared in Cage's hit movie 'Lord of War' as 'Vladimir', a young Ukranian mechanic who disarms a Mil Mi-24 helicopter.
