Cher files for conservatorship over her son following multiple arrests and hospitalization

Key Points:

• Cher has filed for a financial conservatorship over her adult son Elijah Blue Allman, citing his severe drug addiction, mental health decline, and resulting financial damages, including thousands of dollars in property damage and debt to a heroin dealer.
• Elijah Blue Allman is currently hospitalized in a psychiatric facility as he faces criminal charges from two arrests in New Hampshire earlier this year involving assault, trespassing, burglary, and other offenses.
• The conservatorship request seeks control over Allman’s trust fund, established by his late father Greg Allman, to manage his income and prevent him from spending money on drugs; Cher now asks for a neutral third party to be appointed conservator.
• Previously, the court denied Cher’s similar request in January 2024 after Allman claimed sobriety and rejected her help, but the new filing alleges he quickly relapsed and continues to struggle with addiction and financial irresponsibility.
• The filing details Allman’s extensive financial troubles, including $50,000 in Airbnb damages, removal from multiple hotels, $18,000 owed to a drug dealer, $200,000 in unpaid taxes, and unpaid spousal support, highlighting his lack of money management skills and vulnerability to exploitation.
