Cher, the iconic entertainer, has again initiated legal proceedings to place her son, Elijah Blue Allman, under conservatorship. The filing, reported across multiple outlets, cites Allman's escalating legal troubles, including multiple arrests in New Hampshire, and a recent stay in a psychiatric hospital. Cher’s petition argues that her son's alleged substance dependency and subsequent physical and mental deterioration have rendered him "gravely disabled" and incapable of managing his own affairs. The conservatorship aims to appoint a temporary conservator to oversee Allman's finances.
Allman, 49, faces charges stemming from two separate arrests in New Hampshire earlier this year. One incident involved alleged burglary, criminal mischief, and breach of bail charges in Windham. Another prior arrest included accusations of assault and criminal trespassing at a New Hampshire preparatory school. These legal entanglements have coincided with a period where Allman has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, with one report mentioning an incident requiring the administration of Narcan. Court documents reference a pattern of behavior, including instances where Allman was allegedly found unconscious behind the wheel of a car in traffic and caused multiple fires at home due to "zoning out."

Cher's filing details significant concerns regarding Elijah Blue Allman's financial management and alleged behavioral issues. The petition highlights fears that any trust distributions to Allman would be used to fund his alleged drug dependency. The singer has described her son's condition as a state of "appalling" physical health and "delusional" mental state, with his drug dependency described as being "at its worst." These claims are reportedly supported by a declaration from Allman's sister, Devon Allman. Allman is scheduled for court appearances in New Hampshire, including an arraignment and a probable cause hearing.
This marks a second attempt by Cher to secure a conservatorship for her son. Previous concerns over his substance abuse have been cited in earlier conservatorship attempts. Allman’s struggles with drug abuse and a complex marital and divorce history with Marieangela King have been noted as contributing factors to his current situation.
