Cher’s request to have her son Elijah Blue Allman placed in a conservatorship was denied by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge during a hearing on Friday, April 24th.
The judge ruled there was not “sufficient urgency” to grant the request, Page Six confirmed. The decision was made without prejudice, meaning Cher could reapply in the future.
In a statement shared with Page Six, Allman’s attorney Avi Levy said, “Today, the court once again declined to find a basis for a temporary conservatorship over Elijah’s estate. The court was not persuaded that Cher has shown that temporary conservatorship is necessary to meet his responsibilities under probate law and protect Elijah.”
“Elijah, appearing remotely, confirmed that he wishes to be represented by Stephen Bloomer of Cage & Miles LLP and continues to oppose any efforts to control his financial situation,” the statement continued.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Scheer, 79, argued in the petition that Allman, 49, is “severely disabled” and has concerns about his ability to manage his finances and care for himself.
Levy opposed the request, telling Page Six that “Elijah is disappointed in this attempt to take control of his finances, but not surprised.”
“We have spoken to Elijah several times this week and he remains in good spirits despite this situation. Elijah certainly opposes the latest petition.”
The court’s decision came while Mr. Allman remains “incarcerated in the psychiatric ward of a facility in New Hampshire,” according to court documents.
The lawsuit follows a conservatorship effort earlier in 2023 that was also dismissed and then withdrawn after a private agreement between the parties.
According to TMZ, Allman was arrested on February 27th at a prep school in Concord, New Hampshire on suspicion of assault and trespassing.
Allman, who the pop star adopted along with the late Gregg Allman, was arrested and booked on two counts of simple assault and one count each of trespassing, menacing and disorderly conduct.
According to the newspaper, Concord police responded to a report of an unwanted male customer “causing a disturbance and acting in a belligerent manner” at St. Paul’s School around 7 p.m. The case is still ongoing.
