Elijah Blue Allman’s on-again, off-again wife, Marieangela King, has called off her most recent divorce petition and desperately wants to be involved in Cher’s bid for conservatorship of his estate.

Page Six can exclusively reveal that King filed a declaration in the ongoing conservatorship case, which Cher initiated in Los Angeles Superior Court in April following her son’s string of arrests in New Hampshire in late February and early March.

“Elijah and I have experienced challenges within our marriage, many of which were related to his struggles with substance abuse, mental health issues and the consequences that followed,” King wrote.

“Following his arrest, I filed a petition for dissolution of marriage. At that time, I was emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed and believed separation was necessary.”

However, King explained “circumstances have changed” since then, noting that Allman’s “placement through the New Hampshire court system into a structured treatment environment” and her “continued concern for his well-being” caused her to “reconsider the dissolution proceedings.”

She continued, “After further reflection and communication regarding his condition and recovery, I determined that I did not wish to dissolve our marriage. I made Elijah a promise when I married him in 2013 that I would be there for him through sickness and in health, which is why I have fully dismissed my divorce petition without prejudice.”

While King, 38, acknowledged that Allman, 49, “has a drug problem,” she believes that “decisions regarding his future should be made with a complete understanding of his current circumstances, treatment, support system and wishes.”

The singer-songwriter claimed she has not been given access to the court investigator’s report, the medical supplemental report, medical evaluations, capacity declarations or other materials related to the conservatorship case and asked for “an opportunity to review” them.

She argued that “the outcome of these proceedings substantially affect both [her] husband and [their] marital rights and interests,” insisting that she possesses “unique and firsthand knowledge regarding his history, functioning, relationships, support systems, strengths, challenges, treatment efforts and personal wishes.”

Therefore, the musician asked the court to “consider [her] position and permit [her] to be heard in connection with the pending petition for permanent financial conservatorship.”

King insisted she cares “deeply” about Allman, writing, “I want do right by Elijah, as I made him that promise when I married him in 2013, and I will stand by him throughout this process.”

She said she wants him to receive “any treatment, structure, support and professional assistance that he genuinely needs,” stressing that her position “is not based upon denial of his past struggles.”

King went on to propose “a structured one-year plan” that features “a fully staffed medical team from a US-certified reputable dual diagnostics sober living.”

King explained “circumstances have changed” since then, noting that Allman has been placed in a court-ordered “treatment environment.” They are pictured together with his mom, Cher, in 2016. Marieangela King /Instagram

She claimed, “I am informed by his doctors that when he relapses with the street drugs that are now available, as a result, can lead to drug-induced psychosis. Doctors tell me this is temporary and treatable but can reappear in waves over a length of time even without drugs being present.”

Contrary to what Cher claimed in her most recent conservatorship petition, King insisted, “Elijah is not a hopeless case, and he is not gravely disabled.”

However, according to the Grammy winner, her eldest child “has no concept of money, is unable to manage his financial resources and is unable to withstand fraud or undue influence” because of his “severe mental health and addiction issues.”

She claimed he “spends any money he gets immediately,” almost exclusively on “drugs, expensive hotels and limousine transportation.”

Cher, 80, told the court, “Elijah has no ability to manage money, and any dollar he receives from his father’s trust (his only source of income) is immediately squandered without regard for his liabilities or well-being.”

According to King, however, Gregg Allman — who died in May 2017 — “left a trustee named Michael Lehman in charge of Elijah’s disbursements, which consist of interest the trusts generate. It is extremely false and misleading to insinuate that Elijah has the ability to empty or deplete either of the trusts in question as this petition suggests.”

King insisted that Elijah “does not have direct access to any of the trusts” because “every disbursement is at Lehman’s sole discretion.” She asked the court “for the chance to be able to work with”
Lehman to “direct the available funds as deemed appropriate to help facilitate and structure payments while Elijah is in temporary remission.”

If Lehman is “unwilling to use his fiduciary power,” King requested that a “third neutral party be appointed temporarily, as Elijah himself previously requested in this court in 2024.”

Cher first filed for conservatorship of Elijah’s estate in December 2023, asking that she be appointed the sole conservator.

Elijah swiftly objected, writing in his January 2024 response, “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.”

Cher ended up filing to dismiss her petition eight months later.

However, after Elijah was arrested twice in the same week for “belligerently” committing assault at a boarding school and then breaking into a home, Cher filed a new petition, requesting that fiduciary Jason Rubin be in charge of his finances.

As for King — who has a historically rocky relationship with Cher — she and Elijah eloped in December 2013. He filed for divorce in November 2021 but called it off two months later.

King then filed for divorce this past April but filed to dismiss the petition earlier this month.
