Cher allegedly cut off financial support to son Elijah Blue Allman amid conservatorship fight

Allman claims he has not received $10,000 monthly 'gift income' previously provided by his mother since August 2021

Cher has reportedly stopped financially supporting her son, Elijah Blue Allman, amid their ongoing conservatorship battle and his escalating legal and personal struggles. According to new court filings obtained by People, Allman claimed he has not received the $10,000 monthly “gift income” previously provided by his mother since August 2021.

The filing surfaced as Allman seeks to reduce the $6,500 monthly spousal support payments he currently owes his estranged wife, Marieangela King. He told the court that his only steady income now comes from a trust tied to his late father, Gregg Allman, which reportedly leaves him with about $6,790 monthly after taxes.

The financial dispute is unfolding alongside a lengthy conservatorship conflict between Allman and his mother, Cher. Cher previously filed multiple requests seeking control over her son’s estate, arguing he was “gravely disabled” due to addiction and mental health issues that allegedly left him unable to responsibly manage money. Judges denied her most recent emergency conservatorship request in April 2026, though the matter remains unresolved.

Court records and recent reports indicate Allman has faced mounting legal and health troubles in recent months, including arrests in New Hampshire and treatment in a psychiatric facility. Cher’s legal team has argued the singer’s actions are motivated by concern for her son’s wellbeing rather than financial control.

Allman, who has publicly discussed struggles with addiction dating back to childhood, has remained in the spotlight for years because of his turbulent relationship with Cher and ongoing personal issues. He is the son of Cher and Gregg Allman and fronted the rock band Deadsy under the stage name P. Exeter Blue.
