The conservatorship case involving Cher and her son Elijah Blue Allman continues to unfold, with recent developments shedding light on the ongoing legal battle. Allman's attorney expressed concerns during a hearing in Los Angeles, suggesting that delays in the case may be intentional to deplete his resources.
Cher's attempt to secure a temporary emergency conservatorship for Allman based on alleged mental health and substance abuse issues was denied earlier this year. The judge has now recommended private mediation for both parties to reach a settlement before the next hearing on June 11.
Allman's lawyer emphasized that the primary issue at hand is the conservatorship and indicated a reluctance to settle for such an arrangement. On the other side, Cher's legal team is adamant about ensuring supportive decision-making for Allman, citing concerns about his ability to manage his finances effectively.
The court proceedings have revealed conflicting perspectives on Allman's well-being, with Cher's lawyers expressing grave concerns about his health and safety. Cher's initial request for conservatorship was based on her belief that Allman was unable to manage his financial resources adequately.
Despite the legal battle, Allman and his wife have made public appearances, with reports indicating that he appeared healthy and in good spirits. Cher, too, has been seen attending events, showcasing a strong front amid the family's private struggles.
As the case unfolds, the focus remains on finding a resolution that serves Allman's best interests while addressing the concerns raised by both parties. The upcoming settlement conference in October looms as a potential turning point in the complex legal saga.
