Concerns for Elijah’s Well-being and Finances
Cher, the renowned singer and actress, has filed a petition for conservatorship over her son, Elijah Allman, citing concerns about his mental health and substance abuse issues. Elijah, the son of Cher and the late musician Gregg Allman, has struggled with these challenges for some time.
In the conservatorship petition, Cher argues that Elijah is entitled to regular distributions from a trust established by his father, but she fears that these funds will be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to support himself and putting his life at risk. Cher has been diligently working to get Elijah the help he needs and has nominated herself as the conservator, along with the support of two of Elijah’s siblings.
Allegations of Kidnapping and Estranged Wife’s Influence
This legal battle for conservatorship comes amidst a backdrop of family turmoil. Earlier this year, Elijah’s estranged wife, Marie Angela King, made allegations that Cher abducted Allman in November 2022. King stated that she was “unaware” of Allman’s whereabouts and was told by individuals hired by Cher that they were retrieving her son.
Cher strongly denies these allegations and asserts that she has been working tirelessly to ensure Elijah’s well-being. In her conservatorship petition, she claims that King is unsupportive of Elijah’s recovery and actively works against his efforts to get clean and receive necessary mental health treatment.
A Troubled Marriage and Divorce Proceedings
Elijah Allman and Marie Angela King were married in 2013. King, an English singer with the group KING, has been going through divorce proceedings with Allman since 2020, with Allman officially filing for divorce the following year. The dissolution of their marriage has been anything but amicable, with accusations and disagreements surfacing.
The ongoing divorce proceedings between King and Allman add another layer of complexity to the conservatorship battle. Cher argues that King should not be appointed as conservator of Elijah’s estate, as it is not in his best interest due to their current dissolution proceedings.
A Mother’s Fight for Her Son’s Well-being
Cher’s petition for conservatorship over her son, Elijah Allman, reflects her deep concerns for his health and safety. As a mother, Cher wants to ensure that Elijah receives the necessary treatment for his mental health and substance abuse issues, and that his finances are managed responsibly to provide for his future.
The court will need to carefully consider the evidence and determine what is in Elijah’s best interest. The outcome of this case will greatly impact the future of Elijah Allman and the relationship between Cher, King, and their complex family dynamics.
