Cher Denied Temporary Conservatorship Over 47-Year Old Son
In a recent court ruling, pop icon Cher faced a setback as her request for an emergency conservatorship over her adult son, Elijah Blue Allman, was rejected by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge. The Oscar- and Grammy-winning artist expressed concern about Allman's mental health and related issues, citing the large payments from the trust of his late father, rocker Gregg Allman.
Conservatorship Decision Deferred
During the remote hearing, Cher appeared on a large screen in the courtroom without active participation. On the other hand, Allman, alongside his attorneys, physically attended and asserted his positive progress, attending meetings, receiving treatment, and reconnecting with his estranged wife. The court did not find the situation urgent enough to warrant immediate conservatorship measures. They left the possibility open for further consideration during a scheduled hearing in March for a potential long-term conservatorship. His lawyer expressed satisfaction over the court's decision that he does not need a temporary conservatorship, citing ample support and positive progress.
