A judge on Monday rejected Cher’s request that her adult son be put into a court conservatorship controlling his money.

The Oscar and Grammy-winning singer and actress had argued in a petition that 47-year-old Elijah Blue Allman’s large payments from the trust of his late father, singer Gregg Allman, are putting him in danger because of his struggles with mental health and substance abuse.
