A Los Angeles judge denied legendary singer Cher guardianship of her 47-year-old son Elijah Blue Allman, at least for the moment. The artist seeks to become the administrator of her son’s assets due to major health problems. However, the court will review the issue again in the coming months. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica A. Uzcategui ruled that the pop diva’s legal team did not provide Allman’s lawyers with the necessary documentation to give them time to present their case, so she scheduled a new hearing for next January 29.
At the end of December last year, it became public that Cher had requested that she be granted legal guardianship over the assets of her son and her children because she considered them “incapable of managing their resources.” According to information disclosed by the Daily Mail, the singer’s legal team communicated with Allman 24 hours before the hearing and denied confidential information that was key to presenting her case. The judge has asked Cher to provide all the information to be able to proceed with the case and thus make a decision about the future of her son.
Elijah Blue Allman, for his part, refused to submit to this type of legal figures and assured that there are no impediments, although he is struggling to overcome his addictions and that he is committed to his best interests. manner.
Rejects Guardianship
“A guardianship of the estate is not necessary, there is no reason for the appointment of a guardian. “I have been clean and sober from substances for more than 90 days and I am fully capable and committed to managing the money I receive from the trust left to me by my late father,” he stated in a writing.
“While I understand that my mother, the proposed guardian, believes she is looking out for my best interests and I appreciate her love and support, I do not need her unsolicited help or support at this time,” she said in court.
Allman went to court accompanied by his attorneys to answer the judge’s questions; his legal team declined to speak to the press, while his mother did not attend. After the news broke about Cher’s request for guardianship against her son, social media users criticized the Oscar- and Grammy-winning singer and actress, because she was one of the most prominent voices that came out in defense of Cher’s fellow singer Britney Spears, who for more than 13 years was under the strict restriction of a conservatorship.
