Cher drops bid to be appointed son Elijah Blue Allman's conservator
View Date:2024-12-23 22:59:58
Cher has dropped her bid to be appointed her son Elijah Blue Allman's conservator.
Nearly nine months after Cher, 78, requested to become her 48-year-old son's guardian, a lawyer for the Grammy-winning superstar on Friday announced she would like to end the legal proceedings, according to Rolling Stone.
The outlet also noted Cher's legal team asked Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica A. Uzcategui for the case to be dismissed without prejudice, meaning she could potentially file another petition in the future.
In her Dec. 27 filing, Cher alleged Allman – her only child with her late husband Gregg Allman – was experiencing "severe mental health and substance abuse issues" that rendered him unable to manage his financial assets, she contends. Elijah Allman had objected to the conservatorship in court filings.
Allman's lawyers called the move a "major legal victory" in a statement shared with USA TODAY Friday.

"Under the strategic leadership of Avi Levy, Partner in Los Angeles, and the legal expertise of Steven Brumer, Lead Counsel in San Diego, the team successfully defended Elijah, resulting in Cher voluntarily dismissing her petition," the statement reads. "This outcome allows the parties to focus on healing and rebuilding their family bond, a process that began during mediation and continues today."
USA TODAY has reached out to Cher's attorneys for comment.
The voluntary dismissal comes almost eight months after Cher's case was dealt a blow when the judge ruled "that insufficient evidence has been provided" to appoint Cher as a temporary conservator over her son's estate.
Previously, Allman stated in court filings that conservatorship of his estate was not necessary and his mother was "unfit to serve" in that role, records show.
He said after struggling with addiction and making irresponsible financial decisions in the past, he receives professional treatment and regularly attends alcoholics anonymous meetings, according to court records.
"Given that I no longer have an active dissolution case, I believe that my wife would have priority to be appointed conservator, if necessary, but I do not need that either," Allman said in his objection to Cher's petition. "Under no circumstances am I comfortable having my mom as my conservator even if that was necessary."
