Cher Seeks Guardianship Over Son Elijah Due to Mental Health and Addiction Issues

2023-12-30 02:35:31

Iconic singer and actress Cher has filed a petition with the court seeking temporary guardianship over the finances and business decisions of her son, Elijah Blue Allman, 47. The petition argues that the son’s mental health and addiction challenges have compromised her ability to manage her assets, potentially endangering her life.

Oscar and Grammy winner Cher filed the petition in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeking to secure temporary control of Elijah’s finances, the result of his relationship with musician Gregg Allman. According to the petition, Elijah is entitled to regular payments from a trust fund, but all under the control of his mother and her financial advisors.

Cher wants to obtain guardianship over her 47-year-old son due to his addictions

Due to Elijah’s ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues, Cher is concerned that any funds distributed to her son might be quickly spent on drugs, leaving him with no assets to support himself and exposing him to risks.

The conservatorship sought by Cher seeks to prevent Elijah’s funds from falling into the hands of his wife, Marieangela King, with whom he filed for divorce in 2021. Although legally married, the document filed by King in October indicates that the couple agreed to suspend temporarily filed divorce proceedings to work on their marriage, but King had not seen Elijah in person in six months.

The couple’s tumultuous relationship, marked by cycles of drug addiction and mental health crises, is mentioned in the petition by Cher, who maintains that King does not support Elijah’s recovery. Guardianship, according to the request, is urgently needed.

Another guardianship draws the attention of the media in the world of entertainment

Cher, whose career spans decades, has left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. In addition to her musical successes, the artist has shined in acting, earning praise on both the big and small screens.

A hearing scheduled for January will address Cher’s petition for guardianship. This case once more highlights the complex and sometimes controversial dynamics of conservatorships, an issue that has become more prominent in the public consciousness in the wake of media cases such as Britney Spears.
