Cher Slams Daughter-In-Law’s “Quest for Money” in Son Elijah Allman’s Conservatorship

Elijah and Marieangela were married in 2013, but she filed for divorce in 2021. That filing was dismissed in February 2024 before Marieangela filed again in April 2025. The second filing was dismissed in June 2026. 

The docs added that Elijah’s decision to continue a relationship with Marieangela “is a choice he will hopefully be able to make independently.” 

The brief added, “But given her behavior and indifference to his health and living situation over the prior year, she, in no way, should ever be considered as a viable candidate to serve as a court-appointed fiduciary.”

Marieangela responded to Cher’s filing on her Instagram Sept. 2, writing, “As Elijah’s wife of 13 years, I love him and want what is best for him, which is a robust and long-term treatment plan.”

“My husband and his mother have been estranged for many years, and she has repeatedly blocked my efforts to get him help,” she continued. “If she takes control as conservator, I believe it would jeopradize [sic] his chances of a hopeful recovery.”

She also wrote in a Sept. 1 post that neither Elijah nor Cher appeared that day for a hearing on the matter, with the case set to continue on Dec. 1. 

Cher previously filed for conservatorship over Elijah in December 2023, although she was denied in January 2024 with a judge citing “insufficient evidence,” according to court documents obtained by E! News at the time.
