Cher Seeks Conservatorship for Son Elijah Blue Allman Following Arrests
Cher has filed for a temporary conservatorship over her son Elijah Blue Allman’s estate. Court documents obtained by Filmogaz.com on Friday, April 17, detail the petition.
Details of the petition
The filing was made Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Cher nominated private fiduciary Jason Rubin as conservator.
Her lawyer, Justin B. Gold, asked the court to allow Rubin to handle Elijah’s finances. The petition seeks authority to receive trust distributions and manage a conservatorship account.
Allegations about finances and behavior
The petition states Elijah has little concept of money and is vulnerable to fraud. It claims he spends quickly and cannot meet obligations.
Court papers place the current estate value at $132,000. The filing cites a $200,000 tax liability, ongoing spousal support, and an $18,000 debt to a drug dealer.
Arrests and recent incidents
Allman was arrested twice in a three-day span for incidents on Feb. 27 and March 1. The first arrest followed an alleged trespassing incident at St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire.
He faced two counts of simple assault, criminal trespassing, criminal threatening, and disorderly conduct in that case. He was later released on personal recognizance bail.
The second arrest, on March 1, involved an alleged break-in at a couple’s home in Windham, New Hampshire. Charges included burglary, two counts of criminal mischief, and breach of bail.
Where he is now
The petition notes Elijah is currently at a psychiatric hospital in New Hampshire. The filing describes his mental health and substance use as severely deteriorated.
It also alleges incidents of erratic behavior, hotel bans, and dangerous conduct while cooking. Those claims are presented as reasons a conservatorship is necessary.
Previous conservatorship efforts and history
Cher previously sought a conservatorship in December 2023. That petition said Elijah suffered from severe mental health and substance abuse issues.
Elijah objected, and Cher later withdrew the bid in September 2024. The documents say he promised to change his lifestyle and hire a business manager, but he did not follow through.
Nine months after the withdrawal, the filing says Elijah was hospitalized for an apparent drug overdose in California. He has spoken publicly about past substance use and overdose risks.
Next steps and scheduled hearing
A hearing in Los Angeles County is scheduled for April 24. Filmogaz.com contacted Cher’s representatives for comment.
The petition emphasizes the need for a conservatorship so Elijah’s finances and health can be addressed. The filing requests the court appoint Rubin as temporary conservator of the estate.
The situation is being closely watched as legal and medical steps proceed. Cher seeks court authority to stabilize her son’s affairs and protect his assets.
