Judge rejects Cher’s request: her son will not be placed under guardianship

Defeat for Cher: According to US media reports, a judge has refused to place her adult son under temporary guardianship. The singer and actress had requested this because she feared that the high payouts to Elijah Blue Allman from the trust fund of his late father, the musician Gregg Allman (1947-2017), would put him in danger. The 47-year-old had struggled with drug problems in the past.

Cher’s request rejected

However, according to media reports, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge was not convinced that a guardianship was urgently needed. She rejected Cher’s proposal. , Allman has proven that he has “his finances under control,” has an apartment and has “remained drug-free.” A new hearing is scheduled to follow in March.

Cher is said not to have been personally in court when the decision was made, but she was reportedly present. Allman was reportedly in the courtroom with his lawyers. According to People, they acknowledged his previous problems but said he was doing well now.

Cher’s lawyers had argued, according to the report, that given her son’s “ongoing” problems, she was concerned that any money paid out to Elijah would immediately be spent on drugs, putting his fortune and his life in danger. Cher’s son and his legal team have consistently stated since the guardianship petition was first filed that none of it is true.

Cher has two children

Elijah Blue Allman comes from Cher’s marriage to musician Gregg Allman. The two married in 1975 and divorced in 1979. In addition to the 47-year-old, Cher also has another child: Chaz Bono, from her marriage to Sonny Bono (1935-1998). The couple was married from 1964 to 1975.
