Cher's son, Elijah Blue Allman's request to dismiss his divorce from wife Marieangela King is not appreciated by the Court. It is not likely to be given due course.

Per the court records acquired by PEOPLE, a judge refused Cher's son's request for a divorce dismissal on January 11, several days after the 47-year-old filed for one in Los Angeles County on January 5.

The motion was turned down because of a provision for continued temporary support, according to the complaint.

Allman had asked for a dismissal "without prejudice," per records PEOPLE was able to access. Allman and King had initially filed for divorce in 2021, following eight years of marriage.

Only a few days before he was scheduled to appear in court for a conservatorship hearing that his 77-year-old mother had requested, he filed the document.

King accused the pop icon of hiring four men to abduct her estranged husband in late 2022, according to court documents that became public in September of last year.

King, also known as Queenie, said that she hadn't seen Allman since April, just after they decided to "work on [their] marriage" while going through a divorce.

Throughout that time, the artist said Cher had persisted in "interfering" with her son's "health management as well as his location and accessibility."

She stated that Allman, who was living with her at the time, "disappeared" and that she had "not seen him in person since the end of April" following their agreement on April 21 to keep their divorce proceedings in a "six-month stay in discovery and litigation."

In an October interview, Cher clarified "that rumor is not true" in reference to the accusations, but she would not elaborate

She did, however, affirm that her son's addiction problems-which he has been vocal about over the years-were connected to the private family matter.

Documents showed that Allman's mother requested to become the sole custodian of his estate a few days before he filed his current request for a divorce dismissal, citing him as "substantially unable to manage his financial resources."

In spite of the fact that Allman is expected to receive trust assets before year's end, the document said that a conservator was "urgently needed... to protect Elijah's property from loss or injury" because Allman is "currently unable to manage his assets due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues."

His divorced wife Marieangela King is unfit to serve as his conservator, according to the declaration, as "their tumultuous relationship has been marked by a cycle of drug addiction and mental health crises."

On January 5, the first date of the conservatorship hearing, Allman and King appeared in court together, with Cher's attorneys appearing on her behalf.
