Cher is begging a Los Angeles court to grant a temporary conservator over troubled son Elijah Blue Allman, RadarOnline.com can report.
The singer's son with late rocker Gregg Allman is reportedly on suicide watch inside a New Hampshire lock-up following a pair of arrests just days apart earlier this year.
Cher's 'Last Chance'

Cher previously sought a conservatorship over son Elijah amid concerns about his substance abuse.
In documents she submitted on Wednesday, Cher revealed Elijah's life has "significantly deteriorated" since the last time she filed for a conservatorship in 2023.
The 79-year-old shared that her 49-year-old son is currently in a psychiatric hospital following a string of financial and legal troubles.
"She has, for a very long time, wanted to take Elijah back under her wing," an insider confirmed to Radar. "This might be her opportunity."
The legendary singer wants to place CPA Jason Rubin in charge of her youngest child's finances, arguing that Elijah's mental health has severely deteriorated, and his drug dependency is at its worst.
Cher Reveals Her Heartache

Cher shared several examples of her son's dangers.
Cher laid out a series of scary instances involving her son, including one where he had to be given the life-saving drug Narcan after he was found passed out behind the wheel of his car in the middle of traffic.
His concerned mother also blasted that Elijah spends any money he has "almost exclusively on drugs, expensive hotels, and limousine transportation."
He was also said to have owed a drug dealer $18,000 and had to borrow money from a friend to keep from being harmed.
The Believe singer also revealed Elijah is thousands of dollars in debt, and has been accused of damaging hotels and Airbnbs – breaking windows and walls and leaving cigarette burns behind.
Elijah's Most Recent Arrests

Elijah has been arrested multiple times.
As Radar reported, Elijah was hit with multiple counts of simple assault, criminal trespassing, criminal threatening and disorderly conduct after rambling around an elite prep school in Concord in February like a "crackhead," sources said.
Witnesses at St. Paul's School claimed he was an "unwanted guest" who tried to bully his way into a sorority while decked out in a ratty robe, flirted with female students and even offered a few of them meth.
Two days earlier, he was arrested after "causing a disturbance and acting belligerently" at a school, and then allegedly broke into a home 35 miles away in Windham while the terrified resident hid in a closet.
Following the disturbing episode, Elijah, whose wife of 13 years, Marieangela King, 38, left him nearly a year ago, was hit with more charges: felony burglary, two counts of criminal mischief and breach of bail.
"The situation is tearing poor Cher apart," the insider added. "For all of Elijah's demons, she loves him dearly."
Cher Has Tried for a Conservatorship Before


Cher was previously denied a conservatorship in 2023.
Cher previously asked her son be placed in a conservatorship in 2023, alleging in court documents then that he was "substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues."
She also expressed concern that he could deplete the inheritance he received from his father, who died in 2017, in ways that would put his "life at risk."
A judge ultimately denied the petition in 2024, determining that Allman was capable of handling his finances, "has an apartment," and had "remained drug-free" following multiple drug tests.
