Cher Asks Court to Bar Daughter‑in‑Law From Controlling Son as Los Angeles Hearing Is Delayed

Cher says the request is meant to protect Elijah Allman’s roughly $120,000 annual trust payouts pending the outcome of New Hampshire’s guardianship proceedings.

Overview

  • The Los Angeles conservatorship hearing was continued to December 1 after Elijah Blue Allman and his attorney did not appear in court, and the judge said she would reappoint counsel for him.
  • Cher filed a supplemental August 28 brief opposing Marieangela King‑Allman’s bid to be appointed guardian, accusing her of seeking control for money or fame and saying the family and New Hampshire State Hospital oppose her serving.
  • The New Hampshire State Hospital opened guardianship proceedings on July 7 and a court conditionally named Chaz Bono and Devon Allman as potential guardians subject to $10,000 fiduciary bonds, leaving the local question of who will serve unresolved.
  • Elijah remains hospitalized at the New Hampshire psychiatric hospital and faces pending criminal charges, which courts have cited when weighing whether he currently needs a conservator or guardian.
  • Cher has asked the Los Angeles court to pause the California case for about 120 days and says she may drop the California petition if New Hampshire’s guardianship provides lasting protection for his care and finances.
