Wife Battles Cher Over Son's Financial Control
19 Aug
Summary
- Elijah Blue Allman's wife opposes Cher's conservatorship request.
- She claims he is not in danger while in psychiatric care.
- She requests to manage his affairs instead of a conservator.
Marieangela King Allman, the wife of Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman, is actively opposing Cher's petition for a conservatorship. Allman is currently receiving treatment in a locked psychiatric facility in New Hampshire and faces criminal charges.
King Allman contends that her husband is not in immediate peril and that she should be prioritized to manage his finances due to their marital status. She previously dismissed divorce proceedings at his request and believes Cher's actions are an attempt to undermine her role.
In February of this year, Allman was arrested in New Hampshire on charges including trespassing, criminal threats, and burglary following separate incidents. His brothers, Devon Allman and Chaz Bono, also sought guardianship over him in a New Hampshire proceeding, which King Allman is also contesting.
A conservatorship hearing is scheduled for September 1. Cher had previously sought a conservatorship in 2023, reaching a private settlement in 2024, but revived the petition alleging Allman's ongoing substance abuse and failure to manage his finances.
King Allman asserts her statutory preference as a spouse and claims their finances are intertwined, potentially making her liable for his tax debts. She states her readiness to serve as conservator, collaborating with his existing financial professionals.
