Cher vs. Daughter-in-Law Over Elijah's Guardianship | Calgary News

Cher is fiercely resisting her daughter-in-law Marieangela King-Allman’s bid to become guardian of her son Elijah Blue Allman, accusing her of seeking fame and fortune over genuine care — a claim fueled by past estrangement and alleged neglect during Elijah’s darkest moments. Elijah, currently hospitalized in New Hampshire under psychiatric care amid multiple criminal charges, is at the center of this escalating legal drama. The state hospital initiated guardianship on July 7th, but Cher initially favored her sons Chaz Bono and Devon Allman — a preference now delayed until December. While King-Allman insists she’s solely focused on Elijah’s recovery and treatment plan, Cher’s camp argues her involvement could sabotage his progress. This isn’t their first clash: Cher once sought conservatorship for Elijah’s estate due to his mental health crisis and financial vulnerability, only to withdraw after a private deal — then faced rejection in April when a judge deemed the timing too slow given his hospitalization and pending charges.
