The If I Could Turn Back Time singer said that as Elijah’s mother, she is best suited to be the conservator, and has received internal family support on the issue.

Cher said Elijah’s estranged wife Marieangela King has been a destructive presence in his life and is impeding efforts to have him get the help he needs with drug and mental health issues. 

King and Cher have past publicly sparred, with King claiming that Cher attempted to kidnap Elijah last year in an effort to send him to a rehab facility. Cher has denied the allegations.

The Believe singer said in court docs, according to The Blast, that she has not been able to effectively communicate with Elijah on the important issue.

Cher ‘has been unable to discuss Elijah’s preferences concerning the appointment of a temporary conservator because given Elijah’s current mental and physical health issues, discussed in detail in the concurrently filed Confidential Supplemental Information, he is unable to form or express a preference concerning the appointment of a conservator for his estate.’
