Cher’s Son Still in Mental Hospital as Singer Continues Conservatorship Fight

A judge overseeing Cher's conservatorship bid stated on Thursday that Elijah Blue Allman, Cher's son, may be held in a New Hampshire mental health facility for up to 18 months. This statement was made during a court hearing concerning Cher's request to place Allman under a temporary conservatorship. Cher, the iconic singer, is seeking legal control over her son's finances and medical decisions, citing his ongoing struggles with addiction and mental health issues. Allman's legal team has opposed the conservatorship, arguing that he is capable of managing his own affairs. The court is weighing evidence presented by both sides, including testimony regarding Allman's current treatment and prognosis. The conservatorship battle has been ongoing for several months, with previous hearings addressing temporary restraining orders and the appointment of an independent evaluator.
