Cher ends attempt to become her son's conservator

Despite claiming her son’s life would “be at risk,” superstar Cher has given up her attempt to take over all his affairs.

The singer Cher has ended her attempts to gain conservatorship of her son’s affairs.

If she had been successful, the star would have control over son Elijah Blue Allman’s affairs including his finances.

Mr Allman, 47, is the son of Cher and late rock star Gregg Allman, who passed away in 2017.

Cher applied in alter 2023 for conservatorship because she claimed Mr Allman could not properly take care of himself or “manage his own financial resources” because of his alleged struggles with drug abuse.

“Any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah’s life at risk,” she wrote in documents proposing the conservatorship.

“The team successfully defended Elijah, resulting in Cher voluntarily dismissing her petition,” Mr Allman’s lawyers Avi Levy and Steven Brumer of California’s Cage and Miles, LLP, told People magazine on Friday.

“This outcome allows the parties to focus on healing and rebuilding their family bond, a process that began during mediation and continues today.”

In court on Friday, Cher’s lawyer Gabrielle Vidal said she and her son “privately resolved this matter” via mediation.

Last year, Cher said Mr Allman’s “current mental and physical health issues” leave him “unable to form or express a preference” concerning the appointment of a conservator for his estate.

Cher also claimed that Blue’s estranged wife, Marieangela King, had been a destructive presence in her son’s life and is actively working against her efforts to give her son the help he needs with his addiction issues.

However, in a response to his mothers’ application, Mr Allman said while he had indeed “struggled with addiction and spent money in ways that have not always been the most responsible,” he was now “clean and sober”.

He also said his mother was “unfit” to serve as his conservator.

Mr Allman’s wife claimed Cher was a mic depressive

“[Cher] is not capable of managing her own affairs — let alone those of Elijah,” she wrote in court documents obtained by The New York Post.

“To my knowledge, the petitioner has never known the security code to her own home, does not drive, does not prepare her own meals or dress herself, and has admitted to me that she is a ‘manic depressive.’”
