Summary

Allman Seeks Support Cut

In the United States, Elijah Blue Allman (son of singer Cher and late Gregg Allman) filed a petition in the Superior Court of Los Angeles on May 5 seeking to lower his monthly spousal support to estranged wife Marieangela King.
Allman said Cher stopped providing him a “recurring gift income” in August 2021 and that he now receives only $10,000 per month from his late father’s trust.
The filing reports Allman’s after-tax income without his mother’s gifts totals $6,790, while he currently must pay $6,500 per month to King.
His attorneys asked the court to reduce the support obligation to $1,651 per month, arguing that King has made no effort to become self-supporting.
A hearing on the support reduction is set for July 17.
Cher’s request for a temporary conservatorship of Allman’s estate was denied on April 24 without prejudice, allowing her to refile.
She argued that Allman’s severe mental-health and addiction issues, plus recent arrests in New Hampshire for alleged criminal threats and burglary, justify conservatorship.
Court documents also claim Allman owes $18,000 to a drug dealer, $200,000 in unpaid income taxes, and has failed to appear in court to satisfy spousal-support orders.
