Cher Seeks Conservatorship Over Son Elijah Blue

Key Points:

• Cher has filed a petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court seeking a temporary conservatorship over her son Elijah Blue Allman's finances due to his severe mental health and substance-use issues.
• The 49-year-old Allman, currently hospitalized in New Hampshire, reportedly has no concept of money and spends excessively on drugs, luxury hotels, and transportation, making him vulnerable to fraud.
• Allman's estate is valued at approximately $132,000, but he faces significant debts including a $200,000 tax bill, unpaid spousal support, and drug-related debts.
• The petition follows two arrests earlier this year in New Hampshire involving assault, trespassing, burglary, and bail violations, as well as erratic behavior including multiple hotel evictions and incidents of troubling conduct.
• Cher had previously sought conservatorship in 2023 but withdrew after Allman promised to change his lifestyle, a commitment his attorney now says he has abandoned; a hearing on the new petition is scheduled for Friday.
