Elijah Blue Allman and Marieangela King have asked to dismiss their divorce petition for a second time, even as Allman faces a string of recent legal troubles tied to alleged assault, trespassing, burglary, and an earlier school incident in New Hampshire.
Elijah Blue Allman’s life has kept colliding with the courts, and the latest detour came through a family filing. Less than three months after the dust from multiple arrests continued to settle, Allman and his wife Marieangela King asked to pull the plug on their divorce again.
King. 38. submitted a formal request to the Los Angeles Superior Court on June 2 seeking dismissal of her petition to divorce Allman. 49. The move comes as Allman’s legal problems have piled up earlier this year. including an arrest after an alleged incident at St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire.
The timing matters because this is the second time the couple has tried to stop the divorce process. They previously retracted a divorce filing in 2024 before King refiled a year later citing “irreconcilable differences.” A judge at that time awarded King $6,500 in temporary spousal support.
Before that, the couple’s first split began in April 2020. King filed for a dissolution of marriage in November 2021. In January 2024, Allman requested that the proceedings be dismissed.
A representative for King said at the time, “The couple have been working on their marriage and have reconciled.” A judge initially denied Allman’s request, citing outstanding funds owed from a temporary support stipulation. The court later granted the request the following month.
In King’s divorce petition, she wrote that she was having difficulty attending proceedings because of “sporadic and insufficient” spousal support payments from Allman.
Those domestic proceedings have played out alongside a separate court fight involving Cher, 80, Allman’s mother. In that case. Cher sought to be named the sole conservator of her son’s estate and resources. arguing in court documents that he had alleged “severe mental health and substance abuse issues.” Cher said she had “worked tirelessly” to get Allman needed help and claimed he was unable to manage his financial assets. Her efforts were denied.
While family law cases moved, Cher also tried again to gain temporary conservatorship of Allman’s finances. In April. she nominated private fiduciary Jason Rubin to be Allman’s conservator. and asked the court to allow Rubin to oversee Allman’s finances. Cher’s attorney, Justin B. Gold. wrote in the filing that “Elijah’s situation has become dire on multiple fronts. ” adding that Allman was staying at a psychiatric hospital in New Hampshire in light of his latest arrests for trespassing and assault in February and burglary in March.
Gold also wrote that Allman’s “mental health has severely deteriorated. his financial situation is terrible and his drug dependency is at its worst. ” and that Cher was requesting an order appointing Mr. Rubin as temporary conservator of the estate “so that Elijah’s situation can start being fixed one problem at [a] time.” That request was denied again.
All of it leaves the same unresolved pressure point hovering over the couple’s marriage: as King tries to reset the divorce timeline, Allman’s legal history continues to generate new demands on the courts—about safety, oversight, and responsibility.
For now, King’s June 2 motion keeps the divorce process from moving forward, marking another pause after the couple already stepped back once in 2024 and then returned to the filings a year later.
