In court documents obtained by the Daily Mail on Friday, the 79-year-old singer - who shares Elijah with her late ex-husband musician Gregg Allman - revealed that her son is currently locked in a psychiatric hospital, describing his life as having 'significantly deteriorated' since she first filed for conservatorship in 2023.
Cher detailed an alarming incident in which Allman, 49, was found unconscious behind the wheel of his car, causing a traffic jam, and was subsequently hospitalized where Narcan was administered to save his life.
The Believe singer also expressed concern over Allman's financial behavior, claiming he 'has no concept of money, is unable to manage his financial resources and is unable to withstand fraud or undue influence.'
According to Cher, her son owes $18,000 to a drug dealer and had to borrow money from a friend to avoid further harm.
In addition to his drug issues, Allman is facing a mounting $200,000 tax bill.

A San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department spokesman told Daily Mail at the time of the overdose: 'On Saturday, June 14, 2025, at about 1:25 p.m., deputies from our Morongo Basin Station responded to a residence in the 2300 block of Cambria Avenue, in Landers, for a male subject acting erratically.
'When deputies arrived, Elijah Allman, 48, was being evaluated by emergency medical personnel. Deputies located drugs inside the home and Allman was transported to the hospital.'
In 2014 Allman revealed he began using drugs, like weed and ecstasy, at just 11-years-old and detailed some close calls.
'I [was] just looking to escape all the things in my past and, that's when you turn to those kind of drugs, you know heroin and opiates,' he told ET at the time.
He added, '[Heroin] kind of saved me … If I didn't have that at that point, I don't know what I would have done …You may jump off a bridge. If you can only just go through that time period and live through it and then get help.'

Allman also recalled 'some moments of really feeling at the edge of mortality.'
'I always kind of kept it a little bit safe but you never can do that,' he explained. 'Even though you think that in your mind, of course the wrong things can happen.
'The wrong combination of things can happen and you can just slip into the abyss. I knew it was wrong and I knew that I was very unsatisfied with life at that point.'

In early 2024 a judge threw out Cher's initial bid to have her son placed in a conservatorship controlled by her.

She had petitioned LA Superior Court to appoint her as Elijah's temporary conservator, arguing that his drug addiction, plus mental and physical health issues, made him unable to manage the $120,000 a year he gets from a trust fund set up for him by his late father.
Cher said she feared he would spend his $10,000 a month payouts on drugs, putting his life in jeopardy.
Judge Jessica Uzcategui refused to appoint Cher as conservator, saying that the star's attorneys had not given Allman enough notice of the court action and refused to share confidential information with him about his case.
