AceShowbiz - Cher is once again petitioning for an emergency conservatorship over her son, Elijah Blue Allman, following a series of arrests in New Hampshire that have resulted in him being placed in a locked psychiatric hospital, according to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone.

The documents, filed recently in Los Angeles County probate court, outline a deeply concerning situation. They claim that Elijah’s mental health has drastically worsened, his financial affairs are in disarray, and his substance abuse has reached critical levels. The filings state, "Elijah's situation has become dire on multiple fronts."

Cher first sought conservatorship over Elijah’s finances in December 2023 but was initially denied by a judge. That attempt ended in a private settlement in September 2024, with Elijah agreeing to hire a business manager—a promise the documents claim he never fulfilled. At that time, Cher had argued the need for urgent intervention due to Elijah’s severe mental health and substance abuse issues.

Since then, Elijah Blue Allman has reportedly been living beyond his means, moving between costly hotels and short-term rentals that he cannot afford. The filing alleges he caused over $50,000 in damage at one Airbnb and accumulated an $18,000 debt with a drug dealer. Additionally, he is said to owe more than $200,000 in unpaid taxes and faces multiple criminal charges.

Elijah was first arrested on February 27 at St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, on charges including trespassing, criminal threats, and simple assault. Court records show he allegedly entered the school under false pretenses, claiming to be a prospective parent, then became aggressive and poked a student with his cane. He was booked and released but was arrested again two days later on a burglary charge after a woman reported a break-in at her home in Windham, New Hampshire. Police found Elijah sitting inside the residence, smoking a cigarette, with a broken glass door at the scene.

The current conservatorship application clarifies that since Elijah is in psychiatric custody in New Hampshire, the request does not seek control over his person at this time. However, the facts presented underscore his inability to manage his finances and suggest he is gravely disabled. The petition also indicates that once Elijah returns to California, a full conservatorship over his personal affairs may be appropriate.

The court documents reveal Elijah continues to receive a monthly trust distribution of $120,000, established by his late father Gregg Allman. However, the filings accuse Elijah of squandering these funds immediately without regard for his financial obligations or well-being. Cher’s lawyer details a recurring pattern where Elijah spends his trust money on drugs and luxury accommodations, often leading to hospital stays or overdoses.

Specific incidents cited in the filings include Elijah passing out in traffic and requiring Narcan administration at a hospital. There are also reports of him causing grease fires after forgetting food on the stove due to zoning out, further illustrating his impaired condition.

Elijah’s sister, Devon Allman, has submitted a supporting declaration for the conservatorship. She describes his current state as both physically and mentally alarming, stating she experienced profound sadness after a recent visit. Devon also disclosed previously negotiating with a heroin dealer over a five-figure drug debt owed by Elijah, emphasizing the severity of his situation. She strongly recommends that Elijah be kept away from access to money until he commits to improving his health.

The repeated legal troubles, combined with the financial and health concerns detailed in the court filings, paint a troubling picture of Elijah Blue Allman’s current challenges. Cher’s renewed petition seeks to protect her son from further harm by gaining control over his financial affairs and potentially his personal care in the near future.

As this conservatorship case develops, it highlights the ongoing struggles faced by families dealing with severe mental health and addiction issues, as well as the complexities involved in legal interventions designed to provide support and protection.
