Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman is at risk of having the inheritance that he received from his late father, musician Gregg Allman, seized by his estranged wife, Marieangela King, over support payments, NewsPlop can exclusively report.
On Friday, October 3, King filed court docs accusing Elijah, 49, of not paying a dime since the court ordered him to pay $6,500 per month in spousal support, and another $10,000 to cover her legal fees.
In a declaration, King said, “On September 21, 2025, shortly after [Elijah] was initially served with the court’s orders, I spoke with him over the phone. He said he was aware of the court ruling and would deal with the spousal support and fees. I have not received any payments from [Elijah]. To my knowledge, he is staying at an expensive hotel and ignoring his obligations.”
King said Elijah receives regular payments from Gregg’s estate as part of his inheritance.
In her filing, King said a man named Michael Lehman was appointed as executor of Gregg’s estate after he died in 2017 at the age of 69. Lehman is in charge of handling Elijah’s finances.
King asked the court to order Lehman to pay Elijah’s monthly spousal support payments and back support owed. King alleges Elijah owes over $16,000 in back support as of September 15.

In a financial declaration, filed as part of her request for support, King claimed she needed support to maintain the “high standard” of living she enjoyed while with Elijah.
She said her monthly bills included $5,000 on rent, $1,500 on groceries, $3,000 on entertainment, $500 on eating out and other bills for a grand total of $12,000.
King said, “I need support to pay rent and cover my basic needs and money to seek further education and employment in order to become self-supporting.” She claimed she had not been able to focus on her career during the marriage.
As Us previously reported, King filed for divorce on March 31. She listed the date of separation as the same day. Her petition also requested exclusive use of their marital home in Los Angeles and the use of a 2017 Toyota Prius.
Cher’s Son Elijah Says He’s ‘Not Mentally Ill’ in Conservatorship Battle
The support request came after Elijah was hospitalized in June for an alleged overdose in Joshua Tree, California. He was released days later. Elijah has yet to speak out about the incident.
The alleged overdose came months after singer Cher, 79, dropped her request to place her son in a court-ordered conservatorship. In her initial petition, Cher’s lawyer wrote, “Elijah is entitled to regular distributions from a trust established by his father for his benefit, but given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues, [Cher] is concerned 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.”

Elijah opposed the request and claimed he had been sober for months.
In January 2024, Elijah told the court, “I am clean and sober from illicit substances for over 90 days now and am fully capable of and committed to managing the money I receive quarterly from the trust left by my late father.” The case was dismissed by Cher in September 2024.
