Overview
- Cher’s request for a temporary financial guardianship over her 49-year-old son was rejected in a Los Angeles court by Judge Jessica Uzcategui.
- The judge said there was no sufficient showing of urgency or incapacity, while Elijah appeared by video from a psychiatric facility in New Hampshire following an arrest on theft and property damage charges.
- The court ordered Elijah’s May distribution from a trust created by his late father, Gregg Allman, to be withheld due to his custody status.
- The denial was issued without prejudice, which allows Cher to return to court with additional evidence if circumstances change.
- Cher’s filing alleged Elijah used trust funds to buy drugs, caused more than $50,000 in Airbnb damage, was expelled from 18 hotels, and relied on a friend for housing, and a similar petition in 2024 was also denied.
