Cher, the iconic singer and actress, has taken a significant step in her efforts to help her son, Elijah Blue Allman, by filing for a conservatorship. This decision comes amidst concerns about Elijah's well-being due to his alleged "severe" substance abuse issues.
According to legal documents obtained by PEOPLE, Cher believes a conservatorship is necessary to protect Elijah's financial resources and overall well-being. The documents claim that Elijah, 47, struggles to manage his finances due to "severe mental health and substance abuse issues," and that a conservator is "urgently needed... to protect Elijah's property from loss or injury."
The filing further details Cher's anxieties about Elijah's potential spending habits. She expresses concern that any financial distributions from her trust would be immediately directed towards drugs, jeopardizing Elijah's basic needs. Cher asserts that she has "worked tirelessly to get Elijah into treatment and get him the help he needs," but feels a conservatorship is the next crucial step in his recovery journey.
The documents also address concerns about Elijah's estranged wife, Marieangela King, being appointed as a potential conservator. Cher argues that their "tumultuous relationship," marked by "a cycle of drug addiction and mental health crises," makes King unsuitable for the role.
Cher's dedication to Elijah's well-being shines through in the filing. It emphasizes her unwavering love for her son and her commitment to acting in his best interests. The document states that Cher has been "unable to discuss his preferences concerning the appointment of a temporary conservator" due to Elijah's "current mental and physical health issues," further highlighting her concern for his well-being.
With a hearing for a temporary order scheduled for January 5, 2024, and a hearing for a permanent order set for March 6, 2024, the coming months will be crucial for Elijah's future. Cher's actions, while undoubtedly difficult, reflect a mother's unwavering love and commitment to her son's recovery and well-being.
