Judge Denies Cher’s Emergency Bid for Conservatorship Over Son’s Finances

The judge said there was no urgent need given his detention in a New Hampshire psychiatric hospital.

Overview

  • A Los Angeles judge on Friday denied Cher’s request for a temporary conservatorship without prejudice, citing a lack of urgency.
  • Elijah Blue Allman appeared by video from a locked New Hampshire psychiatric facility, where he is held for competency restoration on cases that include burglary, criminal mischief, assault, trespass, and breach of bail.
  • Allman and his lawyers oppose the petition, and he is expected to enter a residential program for mental health and substance use under his bail conditions.
  • Cher asked the court to appoint licensed fiduciary Jason Rubin to take control of trust payments and expenses, but the judge noted Allman likely cannot access funds while in custody.
  • Cher’s filings cite $120,000 a year in trust income, a reported $200,000 tax bill, and spousal support arrears, following a failed 2023 bid that was withdrawn after a 2024 settlement, with a June 16 trial now set in New Hampshire on one case.
