Cher Seeks Conservatorship for Son Elijah Blue Allman Amid Concerns Over Substance Abuse
Cher has taken legal steps to establish a conservatorship for her son, Elijah Blue Allman, citing concerns about his alleged struggles with substance abuse and his ability to manage his finances. At 77, the iconic singer and actress is seeking sole control over her son’s estate, as outlined in legal documents reported by Page Six.
According to these documents, Cher has expressed urgent concern for her son’s well-being, especially as he is set to receive assets from a trust by year-end. She fears that without intervention, any funds distributed to Elijah could be quickly spent on drugs, potentially leaving him without resources and endangering his life.
The legal filing emphasizes Cher’s intention to safeguard her son’s property from potential loss or harm due to his current state. The documents also note that Elijah’s estranged wife, Marieangela King, is not considered a suitable conservator, given the reportedly unstable nature of their relationship, which has been affected by cycles of drug addiction and mental health issues.
Cher has indicated that her son’s current health conditions prevent him from being able to participate in discussions or express his preferences regarding the appointment of a conservator for his estate. Her move to seek conservatorship is driven by a desire to ensure his safety and the responsible management of his financial affairs amid these challenging circumstances.
