Judge Denies Cher's Bid for Son's Conservatorship
24 Apr
Summary
- Cher's request for immediate conservatorship over her son was denied.
- The judge cited insufficient evidence and urgency for conservatorship.
- The son faces multiple criminal charges and substance abuse allegations.
A judge denied Cher's petition for an immediate temporary conservatorship over her son, Elijah Blue Allman. The iconic singer, aged 79, had requested court intervention citing her son's alleged inability to manage finances due to ongoing drug abuse.
Allman, 49, is currently in a psychiatric hospital in New Hampshire, facing multiple criminal charges from recent arrests. The judge stated that while she understood the family's concerns, the evidence presented did not demonstrate sufficient urgency or appropriateness for a conservatorship.
Cher had previously outlined a pattern of her son's financial irresponsibility, including significant damages to rental properties and erratic behavior. She expressed fears that any trust distributions would be used for drugs, further exacerbating his mental health and substance abuse issues.
