Cher files for conservatorship for son Elijah Blue Allman. The 77-year-old music icon has claimed in new legal documents that her 47-year-old son is unable to care for himself due to his drug addiction. According to People, Cher believes her son is "substantially unable to manage his own financial resources" and therefore needs a conservator to look after his estate. ”Cher is concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself and putting Elijah's life at risk.” The Believe singer also argued that Elijah's estranged wife, Marieangela King, should not be his conservator because: ”Angela actively works to keep Elijah from getting clean and sober or receiving mental health treatment that he desperately needs.” In September, it emerged that King had accused Cher of hiring four men to kidnap Elijah in late 2022 when they were trying to reconcile. Cher denied the allegation and opened up about her son's addiction issues. ”I'm a mother. This is my job - one way or another, to try to help my children. You do anything for your children.” The singer shares Elijah with her late second husband Gregg Allman. Elijah married King in 2013 and they split up in 2020.
