Cher Blocks Estranged Wife’s Bid to Manage Son as Courts Move to Appoint New Counsel

The action aims to preserve oversight of Elijah Blue Allman’s finances while courts sort competing guardianship and conservatorship claims.

Overview

  • The Los Angeles conservatorship hearing, held Tuesday, was paused and continued to December 1 after Elijah Blue Allman did not attend and his lawyer failed to appear.
  • The judge said she will appoint new counsel for Elijah and has previously denied his request to represent himself.
  • Cher filed documents opposing MarieAngela King’s effort to be named Elijah’s guardian, accusing King of failing to care for him before a recent New Hampshire arrest and of seeking control for money or fame.
  • MarieAngela King’s filings counter that Cher interfered with her attempts to help Elijah and that Cher did not maintain a close relationship with him, creating a factual dispute the courts must resolve.
  • Elijah has been hospitalized at the New Hampshire State Hospital since early March 2026, he receives more than $100,000 a year from a trust established by his late father Gregg Allman, and the parallel New Hampshire guardianship and Los Angeles conservatorship proceedings will determine who controls his care and estate.
