OUCH. Based on this new information, I am hoping that Cher will be successful in taking control of Elijah's finances. Sounds like the only way.
"The new documents say Elijah still receives $120,000 a month via a trust that his father Gregg set up prior to the Allman Brothers Band singer’s death. That monthly payment is then “immediately squandered without regard for his liabilities or well-being,” the court filings say.
“There is a clear pattern in Elijah’s behavior,” Cher alleged in the documents filed by her lawyer. “After he receives his trust distribution, he checks into a hotel, usually the Chateau Marmont, buys and does drugs until he runs out of money, ends up in the hospital, or overdoses. Based on this pattern, if Elijah were to receive his trust distribution, he will use it buy drugs.”
