Chers troubled son, Elijah Blue Allman, was served legal papers by his estranged wife days after being spotted looking disheveled at a Hollywood hot spot, In Touch can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, last week, Elijah’s ex, Marieangela King Allman, notified the court she had him personally served on May 17 at 5:50 p.m. at a three-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in North Hollywood, California, worth an estimated $1 million.

Marieangela filed for divorce from Elijah, 48, on April 8 in Los Angeles Superior Court.

She listed the date of marriage as December 1, 2013, and the date of separation as March 31.

The exes have been married 11 years and three months, according to the filing.

In her petition, obtained by In Touch, Marieangela said they had no children.

She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

Marieangela demanded Elijah pay her spousal support and his ability to collect any support be cut off. She asked that the spousal support be paid retroactive to the date of the filing, “with credit for any funds voluntarily paid.”

She requested $6,000 per month in temporary spousal support based on the “marital standard and ability for [Elijah] to pay.”

Marieangela also asked for exclusive use of the home they shared their 2017 Toyota Prius V. She said if Elijah kept the car, she requested an additional $2,000 one-time payment and an additional $500 per month in spousal support for a car.

Marieangela asked the court to order Elijah to cough up another $10,000 to pay for her legal fees. “if the parties settle this matter before these funds are expended, [Elijah] shall receive the balance of the retainers, if any. If attorney fees and expert fees are expended, [Elijah] will pay all additional fees for both him and [Angelamarie] through entry of final judgment,” her petition requested.

“We had a beautiful 13-year journey, filled with memories I’ll always cherish. I know we’ll remain friends, and Elijah will always hold a special place in my heart,” Marieangela told People about the split.

She ended, “As we turn the page to this next chapter, we kindly ask for privacy and truly appreciate your understanding.”

Elijah previously filed for divorce from Marieangela in 2021.

He dismissed the case in early 2024 amid his court battle with his mom, Cher, 78.

Cher rushed to court in late 2023 pleading for a conservatorship over Elijah. Elijah’s dad is Cher’s musician ex, Gregg Allman, who died in 2017.

“Elijah is substantially unable to manage his financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues,” Cher’s filing read.

“Elijah is entitled to regular distributions from a trust established by his father for his benefit, but given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues, [Cher] is concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah’s life at risk,” her lawyer added.

Cher told the court that her son had been paid over a million dollars from his father’s estate but did not have a savings. The legendary pop star called out her son’s wife, Marieangela.

Her lawyer alleged Marieangela, “is not supportive of Elijah’s recovery and that Angela actively works to keep Elijah from getting clean and sober or receiving mental health treatment that he desperately needs.”

The petition added, “Most recently, [Cher] is informed and believes that Angela took steps to check Elijah out of the treatment center where he was receiving much-needed medical care.”

Maireangela scoffed at the claims in court. At the time, she said, “We live together as a married couple and I see the irrefutable daily effort he is making to stay sober. He attends AA meetings 5-6 times a week, he is free of drugs.”

She added, “He is tending to his finances, getting his bills paid, and ensuring that his property is under his control.”

Marieangela claimed Cher was not fit to serve as conservator and accused her of being unable to manage her “own affairs.”

For his part, Elijah opposed his mom’s request to place him under a conservatorship.

He argued he had been clean for several months and did not need his mom controlling his life.

In late 2024, Cher dismissed her request for a conservatorship after reaching a deal with her son. On May 9, Page Six posted photos of Elijah looking a disheveled outside Chateau Marmont.

The outlet reported Cher’s son exhibited “concerning behavior” at the Hollywood hot spot. Elijah was seen with “swollen ankles and wore a single red acrylic fingernail on his right ring finger,” the outlet reported.

Elijah has yet to respond to Marieangela’s divorce petition.
