Cher's Son Elijah Allman Faces New Conservatorship Battle

Cher has renewed her attempt to gain conservatorship over her son Elijah Allman's finances, asserting his situation has become dire. She claims his mental health has severely deteriorated, his financial state is terrible, and his drug dependency is at its worst. Allman, however, is opposing this latest petition, with his lawyers indicating he is in good spirits despite the circumstances.

Cher's filings detail alleged financial irresponsibility, including living beyond his means, causing significant damage to a rental property, and accumulating substantial debt, including an unpaid tax bill exceeding $200,000. Allman's brother, Devon Allman, has submitted a declaration supporting the conservatorship, describing his brother's condition as appalling and delusional, and noting past instances of having to negotiate drug debts.

Recent legal documents reveal Allman's arrest in February 2026 in New Hampshire on charges including trespassing, criminal threats, and simple assault, followed by another arrest for burglary. Cher's petition highlights a pattern where Allman allegedly squanders trust distributions on drugs and hotels, leading to hospitalizations, and she seeks to appoint a private fiduciary to manage his funds for his expenses.
