Cher Claims Daughter-in-Law Is Seeking 'Money and Fame' in Son Elijah's Conservatorship Battle

Cher is not backing down in the tense court battle surrounding her son's well-being. The legendary pop superstar has officially fired back against her daughter-in-law, Marieangela King, accusing her of attempting to seize control of Elijah Blue Allman’s conservatorship in pursuit of financial gain and personal notoriety. According to legal papers filed by the icon's legal team, the extended family stands completely united against King’s recent request to be appointed as conservator for her husband. The court response highlights a history of intense marital friction and separation between the couple, asserting that King failed to step up or offer assistance during Elijah's personal struggles before his recent arrest in New Hampshire. ## Why is Cher fighting her daughter-in-law over Elijah Blue Allman? The new legal response makes it clear that Cher and her relatives remain adamantly opposed to King taking charge of the singer's son. The filing points to previous pending divorce proceedings as clear evidence of the pair's estrangement. Furthermore, the documents detail how King allegedly refused to lend a helping hand to Elijah and family friend Kayti Pease while he was actively struggling prior to his custody in New Hampshire. Cher's legal representatives claim that King's sudden re-emergence in the legal dispute is motivated by self-interest rather than genuine care. The filing explicitly charges that the family believes King is inserting herself into the court proceedings on a quest for money or a bit of fame. ## Who is managing Elijah Blue Allman's conservatorship? The court paperwork also suggests that Elijah himself is keeping his distance from his estranged spouse. While residing at the New Hampshire State Hospital, Elijah allegedly refused to see King when she attempted to visit him. Cher's team noted in the court filing that he has turned King away on three distinct occasions during his stay at the facility. The core dispute in court has now shifted away from whether Elijah needs legal intervention. According to the filed response, there is no longer any active disagreement over whether Elijah requires a guardianship in New Hampshire. Instead, the remaining legal battle centers entirely on who will be officially appointed to manage his affairs and oversee his recovery moving forward.
