US pop star Cher has decided to withdraw her application for legal control over her son’s personal and financial matters, as confirmed by his legal representatives.
The singer had previously sought a conservatorship for her 48-year-old son, Elijah Blue Allman, citing concerns about his substance abuse and mental health issues.
In a statement provided by Cage & Miles, the law firm representing Allman, it was revealed that both parties have chosen to focus on healing and reestablishing their familial bond.
This decision follows a private settlement reached by the family members, as reported by US media after a brief hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court.
Cher’s initial filing for conservatorship in December raised questions about Allman’s ability to manage his financial resources effectively.
A conservatorship is typically granted by a court for individuals who are unable to make decisions on their own, especially due to mental health issues or conditions like dementia.
Prior to the resolution, Allman was set to inherit assets from a trust established by his late father, musician Gregg Allman.
Cher had expressed concerns about the potential misuse of these funds, prompting her legal action to protect her son’s well-being and financial security.
Despite the legal battle, Allman asserted that he was making positive strides in his recovery from addiction and was receiving appropriate treatment.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica Uzcategui ultimately denied Cher’s temporary conservatorship requests, stating that Allman had demonstrated his ability to manage his finances responsibly and maintain sobriety.
The withdrawal of the conservatorship application signifies a mutual agreement between Cher and her son to prioritize their family’s welfare and unity.
