Cher Asks Court To Give Her Conservatorship Over Her Adult Son
HuffPost
Cher has asked a court to make her a temporary conservator overseeing her son’s money.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cher has filed a petition to become a temporary conservator overseeing her son’s money, saying the 47-year-old’s struggles with mental health issues and addiction have left him unable to manage his assets and potentially put his life in danger.
The Oscar and Grammy winning singer and actor on Wednesday filed the petition in Los Angeles Superior Court that would give her temporary control of the finances of Elijah Blue Allman, her son with musician Gregg Allman.
Cher’s petition says that Elijah Allman is entitled to regular payments from a trust fund. But “given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues,” she is “concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will be immediately spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself and putting Elijah’s life at risk,” the petition says.
Reached through his attorney, Elijah Allman said in a phone call with The Associated Press, “I am well, and able, and of sound mind and body.”
He declined to say whether he planned to oppose the petition, or give any further comment.
