Lawyers for Rooney obtained a restraining order requiring stepson Chris Aber to stay 100 yards award from the 90-year-old and his home.
Court documents allege Aber has prevented Rooney from leaving the house, forced the actor to sign documents without reading them and has been withholding food and medicine.
The filing describes Aber as making Rooney a "prisoner in his own home".
The actor's lawyers also obtained a temporary conservatorship for Rooney to protect his personal and financial interests.
The order allows his legal team to secure Rooney's financials assets and obtain control of his website and any financial documents in Aber's possession.
Rooney is described in a news release about the case as still being sharp-witted.
