In late 2023, Cher and Allman had begun a court battle over Cher’s request for a conservatorship over her son. She had been concerned over his struggle with addiction and mental health, which had led to period of psychosis. At the time of her request, Cher had stated it was “urgently needed” as she believed Allman was “currently unable to manage his assets.” In September, the pair had reached a private settlement after agreeing to a “pause” in the battle back in May.
After the ruling, Allman’s law firm, Cage & Miles, issued a statement, saying at the time: “This outcome allows the parties to focus on healing and rebuilding their family bond, a process that began during mediation and continues today.”
