Elijah Blue Allman’s request to have his divorce from Marieangela King dismissed has been denied, court documents obtained by Page Six confirm.
It appears the court denied the dismissal because a temporary order for support is in place, which prompted the judge to rule against Allman.
Allman, 47, first filed for divorce from the musician in November 2021 after about eight years of marriage.
Cher’s son’s setback comes as the “Believe” singer is determined to establish a conservatorship over Allman in light of his substance abuse issues.
Cher, 77, expressed in her filing that she has concerns that Allman cannot properly take care of himself or “manage his own financial resources,” claiming that “any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah’s life at risk.”
The judge dismissed it on a technicality over support. Getty Images Allman had filed for divorce in November 2021 after about eight years of marriage. Marieangela King /InstagramThe “If I Could Turn Back Time” performer further stated that Allman makes $120,000 a year and “is entitled to regular distributions from a trust established by his father for his benefit.”
In a subsequent filing, Cher claimed Allman, who is the son of late musician Gregg Allman, was missing and put in an urgent request to be approved as his temporary conservator.
Cher also claimed in the documents that King would “take steps to prevent” Allman from learning of the conservatorship hearing.
The dismissal comes shortly after the court denied his mother Cher’s petition for a conservatorship over Allman. Getty ImagesThe “Tea With Mussolini” star maintained in the court filing that having a temporary conservator would bring “no harm” to Allman’s finances.
