Cher files for conservatorship over son for the second time

  • Cher has filed a conservatorship to take control of her son Elijah Blue Allman’s estate for the second time.
  • The filing follows Allman's recent arrests in New Hampshire for allegedly causing a disturbance and breaking into a home.
  • Cher argues her son's life has “significantly deteriorated” due to “severe mental health and addiction issues”, rendering him unable to manage his finances.
  • Court documents allege Allman, who receives an annual allowance of $120,000 from his late father's trust, spends it on drugs, expensive hotels, and limousine transportation.
  • Cher states a conservatorship is “appropriate” as his situation is “dire on multiple fronts”, with his mental health and drug dependency at their worst.
