Weston Cage may have had his fair share of trouble with the law, but he's ready to turn over a new leaf.

In light of an arrest on a felony domestic violence charge Wednesday, E! News learns that the 20-year-old son of Christina Fulton and Nicolas Cage has checked into rehab with the support of his parents. 

Fulton released a statement through her rep, Jerry Digney, confirming Weston will be at a top-rated rehab center for approximately 30 days.

"Many fine opportunities await such a talented young man, including negotiations with a major production company utilizing his exceptional martial arts and acting skills," Christina told us.

Added her spokesman: "Weston is getting the help and support that he needs during this time.  We are all hoping that he will be able to do it respectfully, in peace." 

In hopes of changing any misconceptions, Weston addresses the situation with his wife, Nikki Williams, along with his future goals.

"I would like to congratulate my multi-talented wife on her recent recording contract.  I have always been supportive of her music.  In no way would I ever be jealous of her successes, as I do not follow her preferred musical genre, and am personally working on a new solo album that I should have recorded a long time ago, " he tells E! News.

"I am getting myself together, so I'm sorry about being mislabeled by people who don't know me, or realize that I come from a long line of creative and successful artists."
