Cher‘s request for immediate conservatorship of her son, Elijah Blue Allman, has been denied by a court after she claimed that he would not be able to manage his finances due to his mental health and history of substance abuse.
The singer wanted a temporary conservator to be appointed to manage her son’s estate and help control the money from his Trust, so he does not “spend it on drugs.” Elijah has since revealed his plan to fight his mother’s request for conservatorship.

According to reports, a judge on Friday, denied famous singer, Cher’s request for immediate conservatorship of her 47-year-old son, Elijah Blue Allman.
Judge Jessica A. Uzcategui of the Los Angeles Superior Court reportedly found that Cher’s attorneys had not provided Elijah and his attorneys with the required paperwork to provide them enough time to present their case. The judge has now set a new hearing date of January 29.
The ruling comes after Elijah filed an opposition to his mother’s Ex Parte, noting that he was not properly served papers, which would have given him and his legal counsel enough time to prepare for the January 5 hearing of his conservatorship.
In his filing, obtained by The Blast, Elijah stated that although he received an email about a petition, he disregarded it as he was not sure of the sender’s address. He also claimed that even if he had accepted the email service, the time it was sent was already too close to the date of his court hearing.
He said, “While I did receive an e-mail copy of some petition and related documents on December 31, 2023, even if I had accepted service by e-mail that was not five court days before the hearing, and I have yet to receive or review the Confidential Supplemental Information that has been filed by [Cher].”

The singer has claimed that her reason for filing a conservatorship was due to her son’s history of substance abuse. Cher emphasized that her son, who is entitled to a Trust, is unable to manage his own finances, and that he would spend it “immediately” on drugs.
Court documents obtained by The Blast, read:“[Cher] has been unable to discuss Elijah’s preferences concerning the appointment of a temporary conservator because given Elijah’s current mental and physical health issues, discussed in detail in the concurrently filed Confidential Supplemental Information, he is unable to form or express a preference concerning the appointment of a conservator for his estate.”

Her lawsuit at the time statedthat she’s worried Elijah will spend his money on drugs due to his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues.
“[Cher] is concerned that 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,” the document continued.
Cher is also in a legal battle with her son’s estranged wife, Marieangela King, whom he recently reconciled with. King previously accused the star of blocking her assets, kidnapping her own son, and also interfering with his health management.
