Background
Despite Cher’s efforts to secure permanent conservatorship for her son, Elijah Allman, her request was denied in a Los Angeles courtroom earlier this month. However, another hearing is scheduled for Monday to reassess the need for conservatorship and potentially appoint a conservator to manage Allman’s finances.
Cher’s Filing and Allegations
Cher initially filed the conservatorship paperwork in December, stating that she had tirelessly worked to get Elijah into treatment for his recovery. She also claimed that Allman’s estranged wife, Marieangela King, actively hindered his progress and prevented him from receiving the necessary help for his mental health and addiction issues.
These allegations came to light when King filed a request to reschedule a hearing in December 2022. She claimed that Cher had abducted Allman and hired men to retrieve him, which Cher denied.
Allman’s Objection and Reconciliation with King
In response to Cher’s petition, Allman filed an objection to his mother’s request to be appointed as temporary conservator. He expressed his discomfort with having his mother in control of his finances and stated that he no longer needed her unsolicited help.
Allman also mentioned that he had reconciled with King and had refrained from using illicit substances that had caused concerns in the past.
King’s Declaration and Allegations Against Cher
King filed a declaration claiming that Cher was unfit to serve as conservator and had used her wealth and power to exclude her from decision-making regarding Allman’s recovery process. She alleged abusive behavior from Cher and other family members, stating that they were emotional triggers for Allman.
King emphasized her support for her husband’s recovery, attending AA meetings, and learning about triggers and sobriety.
Allman’s Progress and Independence
Allman maintained that there was no emergency that warranted conservatorship and emphasized his commitment to maintaining a sober life. He stated that he had been reconciling with his spouse, fulfilling his obligations, and resisting past temptations. Allman expressed his capability to manage his finances independently and remain free of illicit substances.
Response
Cher’s representatives have not yet responded to requests for comment on the situation.
