Cher’s Son Elijah Blue Allman Has Divorce Dismissal Request Granted by Judge

Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman’s request to dismiss his divorce from wife Marieangela King has been officially granted.

Allman, 47, first filed for divorce in Los Angeles County on Jan. 5, only to be denied by a judge days later due to a temporary alimony order. His request was finally approved on Wednesday, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE.

Allman – the son of Cher and second husband Gregg Allman – first filed for divorce from King, 36, in 2021 after they married in December 2013.

But the two have since reconciled amid legal drama with Allman’s mother, who on Monday had her recent ex parte request to have him placed in temporary urgent care because of his alleged mental health and substance abuse problems denied by a judge.

In a filing opposing Cher’s request obtained by PEOPLE last month, Allman wrote that he and King had “reconciled and cohabited” — and noted that the “Believe” singer, 77, “opposes my reconciliation with Marieangela.” As a result, he wrote, she “refused” to pay his family counsel.

Meanwhile, King wrote in her own filing that she and Allman “live together as a married couple.”

“Elijah is a brilliant musical and conceptual artist and king, a thoughtful and generous man,” she wrote. “He is the love of my life and I absolutely adore him. He is also a recovering addict and alcoholic.”

At Monday’s hearing, the judge ruled against Chera’s proposed ban because Allman proved he had “managed his finances” and “had an apartment,” and because he had “stayed drug-free” after submitting to “several drug tests.”

Allman attended the trial with his legal team and King by his side, while Cher appeared remotely and her lawyers attended in person. An additional hearing is scheduled for March 6.

In court documents released last September, King accused the Grammy-winning singer of hiring four men to kidnap Allman in late 2022.

King — who is professionally known as Queenie — said later in October in documents obtained by PEOPLE that she had not seen Allman since April, shortly after they agreed to “work on [their] marriage” in the midst of their divorce. The musician claimed that during this time Cher continued to “interfere” in the “management of her son’s health, as well as his location and accessibility.”

As for the allegations, Cher said in an interview with PEOPLE in October “that the rumors are not true” and declined to comment further.

She confirmed, however, that the private family matter is related to her son’s addiction, which he has been openly talking about for years.

“I don’t suffer from any problem that millions of people in the United States don’t have,” Cher said of her son’s years-long struggles with substance abuse. “I am a mother. This is my job — to try to help my children in one way or another. You do everything for your children. Whenever you can help them, just do it because that’s what being a mother is all about. But it’s a joy, even with the heartache – mostly, when you think of your children, you just smile and love them, and try to be there for them.”
