Judge Temporarily Rebuffs Cher’s Request to Put Son in Conservatorship

Cher’s legal team made a mistake while petitioning to place her son Elijah Blue Allman, 47, in a conservatorship, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica A. Uzcategui ruled on Friday.

According to USA Today, court documents indicate that while Cher and her team needed to submit their filings five days before Friday’s hearing, they wound up handing them in on Tuesday—which the judge ruled did not give Allman or his attorneys sufficient time to review them. A new hearing has been scheduled for January 29.

According to the Associated Press, Allman receives funds from a trust left to him by his father, the late musician Gregg Allman. Court documents obtained by Page Six indicate that Cher has claimed her son is dealing with “severe mental health and substance abuse issues” that could impede his ability to manage his own finances.
