Philadelphia– Phillies third baseman alec bohm has sued his parents for millions of dollars, accusing them of withdrawing large amounts of his money into financial accounts managed for him and then using some of the cash to pay his own expenses.
Boehm’s lawsuit, filed Wednesday in a Philadelphia court, comes as he began a review of his personal and financial affairs in recent months and says his parents refused to give him access to accounts or provide the information he sought about them.
The lawsuit says he sought to “freeze” four of her accounts, set up as limited liability companies — and now believes he “converted” a “large sum” of her money from those accounts to his own use.
By the time she sought the information, her parents had transferred millions of dollars from her personal accounts to accounts they controlled, the lawsuit says.
Boehm’s parents, Daniel and Lisa Boehm, denied doing anything wrong and said through their attorney that they were “deeply saddened by the allegations” and would defend themselves aggressively. Alec Bohm has full access to the accounts and his parents are paying his expenses with their personal credit cards, his attorney Robert Eckerd said in a statement.
“Mr. and Mrs. Boehm love their son very much and have always acted in his best interests personally and professionally and continue to do so today,” Eckerd said.
After Thursday’s opening game of the 2026 season, Bohm declined to comment to reporters, saying, “I’m not going to address any personal matters right now.”
Both sides say that the first account was opened in 2019. Boehm’s lawsuit states that his parents told him that they had assigned a 10% stake to themselves for administration purposes, and that Boehm was the “true” owner of all of the LLC’s assets.
The accounts had various purposes, such as investing in securities or purchasing real estate. Boehm’s lawsuit also stated that his parents used money from the Alec Boehm Foundation to pay his expenses.
Boehm’s lawsuit asks her parents to pay at least $3 million in damages, hand over control of the accounts and hire an accountant to track every dollar transferred from Boehm’s personal accounts to accounts they controlled.
Boehm, 29, has a $10.2 million contract with the Phillies through the 2026 baseball season. The lawsuit says her parents live in a recreational vehicle and travel around the country.
