Cher's bid for conservatorship of her son, Elijah Blue Allman, rejected by L.A. court
Cher has failed in her attempt to take control of her adult son's finances through an emergency conservatorship, after a court in Los Angeles ruled there was not sufficient evidence of his alleged drug abuse.
Cher has failed in her attempt to take control of her adult son's finances through an emergency conservatorship, after a court in Los Angeles ruled there was not sufficient evidence of his alleged drug abuse.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Superior Court confirmed on Monday night that the court had ruled in favor of Elijah Blue Allman, 47, who was resisting the order and argued that he is now drug-free.
Pop music legend Cher, 77, applied for the order late last year on the basis that he was struggling with addiction and posed a risk to himself.
The court heard the case in January, but adjourned it to this week to give Allman's legal team more time to read all the documents.
Cher's legal team argued in a document filed on Jan. 5 that the order was needed to stop "immediate and substantial harm" and that "due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues, Elijah is not currently able to manage his finances."
