The couple also argued that, should the court decide to appoint Allman a conservator, it “should not be” Cher.
According to newly filed court documents, Allman and his wife claimed that the Turn Back Time singer was “manic depressive” and “categorically unfit” to serve as a conservator.
The pair also claimed that Cher’s conservatorship efforts would only “jeopardize” Allman’s recovery from drug and alcohol abuse.
“[Cher] is not capable of managing her own affairs – let alone those of Elijah,” King, 36, wrote in the filing.
“To my knowledge, the petitioner has never known the security code to her own home, does not drive, does not prepare her own meals or dress herself, and has admitted to me that she is a ‘manic depressive,’” Allman’s wife added.
Meanwhile, Allman also objected to Cher’s December conservatorship filing. The 47-year-old argued that he has been “successfully managing” his finances, remains sober, and recently rented a home with his wife.
“Such distributions will be held by [Cher] for Elijah’s benefit and used by [Cher] to pay for Elijah’s healthcare, housing, or any other expense that may arise,” the singer wrote in her December conservatorship petition.
“As such, the appointment of a temporary conservator is urgently needed to receive the distribution owed to Elijah so that such funds can be held and managed for his benefit,” Cher added.
