Cher has officially ended her nine-month legal fight for conservatorship over her son, Elijah Blue Allman. Allman’s attorneys, Avi Levy and Steven Brumer, confirmed to *People* magazine on Friday, September 13, that the case was resolved through private mediation.
“The team successfully defended Elijah, leading to Cher voluntarily dismissing her petition,” they said, adding that the focus is now on “healing and rebuilding their family bond.” Cher’s legal team, represented by Gabrielle Vidal, also confirmed that the matter had been settled privately. *Rolling Stone* reported that neither Cher nor Elijah appeared in court during the recent proceedings.
The 78-year-old music icon initially filed for conservatorship in December 2023, citing concerns over her son’s struggles with substance abuse and financial mismanagement. However, Allman, 48, countered these claims in a January court filing, stating that while he had battled addiction in the past, he was now “clean and sober” and capable of managing his own affairs.
Cher’s requests for emergency conservatorship were denied twice in January, after which the two parties entered private mediation.
