Pop superstar Cher is petitioning for legal control of her son Elijah Allman's finances once more, citing severe mental health decline, financial instability, and escalating drug dependency. The move follows Elijah's recent back-to-back arrests in New Hampshire, leading to his confinement in a psychiatric hospital. New court filings detail his alleged inability to manage his substantial trust fund income, a pattern of self-destructive behavior, and significant financial damages and debts.
Cher is once again seeking legal control over her son Elijah Allman ’s finances, with new court documents revealing a dire situation involving severe mental health deterioration, dire financial straits, and a worsening drug dependency . The pop icon’s plea for conservatorship follows back-to-back arrests of her 49-year-old son in New Hampshire, which culminated in him being placed in a locked psychiatric hospital.
These latest filings, submitted this week to Los Angeles County probate court, detail a significant decline in Elijah Allman’s well-being and his inability to manage his substantial trust fund income. Cher’s prior attempt in December 2023 to gain financial control over her son’s assets resulted in a private settlement, but the situation has evidently escalated to a critical point. At that earlier time, Cher had informed the court that Allman urgently required assistance with managing his assets due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues. However, her initial request was met with resistance from the judge and ultimately unsuccessful. Since then, Allman has reportedly moved between expensive hotel accommodations and short-term rental properties. These arrangements have allegedly led to significant damages, with over $50,000 in destruction reported at one Airbnb. Furthermore, new filings indicate that he has accrued an $18,000 debt with a drug dealer. His legal troubles have also extended to New Hampshire, where he is currently facing criminal charges in two separate counties. On February 27, Allman was arrested at St. Paul’s School in Concord on charges including trespassing, criminal threats, and simple assault, as confirmed by a bail order. Following his release, he was apprehended again just two days later in Windham, New Hampshire, on a burglary charge. Police were alerted by a woman who reported an intruder breaking into her home, forcing her to hide in a closet. Responding officers discovered a shattered glass door and found Allman sitting on the living room couch smoking a cigarette, according to a police affidavit. These incidents underscore the urgency of Cher’s current conservatorship request, highlighting her son's unstable and dangerous behavior. The new legal documents emphasize that while a full conservatorship of Elijah Allman’s person is not being sought at this moment due to his current incarceration in a New Hampshire psychiatric hospital, the underlying facts strongly support his total inability to manage his finances and demonstrate that he is gravely disabled. Cher’s filing states that a more comprehensive conservatorship over Allman’s personal affairs would likely be appropriate once he returns to California. The filings reveal that Elijah continues to receive $120,000 per month from a trust established by his father, Gregg Allman, before his passing. This significant monthly income is allegedly “immediately squandered without regard for his liabilities or well-being,” according to the court filing. Cher outlines a clear pattern of behavior: “After he receives his trust distribution, he checks into a hotel, usually the Chateau Marmont, buys and does drugs until he runs out of money, ends up in the hospital or overdoses.” She asserts that based on this pattern, any trust distribution would be used to purchase drugs. The conservatorship request also enumerates other instances where Allman posed a danger to himself or others, such as passing out in his car in the middle of traffic and causing multiple grease fires by forgetting food on the stove while in a dazed state. Elijah’s sister, Devon Allman, has submitted a declaration in support of the conservatorship, stating her opinion that he is a danger to himself and incapable of managing his life or finances. She described a recent visit that left her profoundly saddened, noting his appalling physical condition and delusional state. Elijah is scheduled for an arraignment in his Concord case and a probable cause hearing in his Windham case in the coming days
