Singer Cher filed formal court documents opposing an attempt by MarieAngela King, the estranged wife of her son Elijah Blue Allman, to secure guardianship over him. Cher asserted in the filings that King is pursuing financial gain and public attention rather than acting out of genuine concern for Allman's welfare. According to the legal paperwork, hospital staff and family members agree that King should not control Allman's medical decisions or daily life. The singer claimed that King failed to properly care for Allman prior to his arrest in New Hampshire and noted that Allman previously denied King visitation rights three times while hospitalized. This legal conflict follows earlier disputes regarding Allman's treatment facilities, while King has previously alleged that Cher interfered with her support efforts. The ongoing court battle highlights deep family divisions over legal representation and care rights.
