The guardianship hearing for her son, Elijah Blue Allman, has been postponed to September 1
Cher’s son, Elijah Blue Allman, is currently in a psychiatric ward; However, his mother Cher continues to fight for custody. After his arrest earlier this year, her son was admitted to a psychiatric ward.
After that, the veteran singer and actress tries to place him under guardianship for his well-being. However, according to the latest updates, Allman has requested representation for his own case.
Cher continues to seek guardianship of her son, Elijah Blue Allman
Rolling Stone reported that Allman attended a court hearing via video call on June 25. After he asked to represent himself in his case, which was denied by Judge Jessica A. Uzcategui, postponed the hearing to September 1.
Allman is currently detained in a psychiatric facility in New Hampshire.“In the trial court investigator’s report, Mr. Allman expressed no intent to return to California even after his discharge from the New Hampshire hospital,” a statement from the judge said, while also discussing whether she had jurisdiction to rule in the case.She added: “I understand that he may be detained in New Hampshire for up to a year and a half, and until then he will be returned to a prison in New Hampshire or to a treatment facility in New Hampshire.”
So, under all these circumstances, it does not appear to me that Mr. Allman will return to California for some time, if he does, and I question the jurisdiction of the court.On the other hand, Justin Gould, Sher’s legal advisor, stated that Los Angeles County is the appropriate place to file the case. He added: “The stated preference for Mr. Allman was made while he was detained in a mental institution, and he did not have capacity.”
“The only reason he’s in New Hampshire now is because he can’t leave. And if he now says, ‘Oh, I’m not coming back to California,’ just to avoid jurisdiction here, that’s all.”
“His whole life is here.” The judge has now ordered that Gould first submit a legal brief to the court on the matter by July 16.
This is not Cher’s first attempt to place her son under guardianship
Back in 2023, the actress filed a petition to have her son placed under conservatorship at the time, believing he was not fully capable of handling his finances.
However, after Allman announced that he would change and work on improving his health and well-being, his mother dropped the petition.
