Cher’s Son Elijah Blue Allman’s Divorce Dismissal Request Denied amid Ongoing Conservatorship Hearing

Elijah Blue Allman’s request to dismiss his divorce from wife Marieangela King has been denied.

Days after Cher’s son, 47, filed to dismiss the divorce in Los Angeles County on Jan. 5, a judge denied his request on Jan. 11, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

According to the filing, the request was denied because of the temporary support provision that remains in place.

Allman — who first filed for divorce from King in 2021 after eight years of marriage — asked to be fired “without prejudice,” according to documents obtained by PEOPLE.

He made the request just days before he was expected to appear in court for a custody hearing brought by his mother, 77.

At the hearing, the judge denied an ex parte motion filed by the Grammy winner a day earlier, seeking an immediate temporary guardian. The judge argued that Allman and his attorney did not have enough time to review all the documents.
