Cher's son, Elijah Blue Allman, has been ordered to pay his estranged wife, Marieangela King, temporary spousal support. A judge made this decision after Allman missed a court hearing following an alleged drug overdose, Us Weekly reports. According to court documents obtained by Us, the hearing was held as part of King's divorce petition filed against Allman. The court order noted that Allman failed to respond to the petition, which demanded monthly support. The judge said the hearing could proceed without Allman present. King was in court with her lawyer for the hearing. The judge heard testimony from King's side before issuing his ruling. Allman was ordered to pay his estranged wife $6500 (£4840) per month in spousal support. King had filed documents in June that revealed she desperately needed support from Allman. She claimed she was unemployed and had not worked since 2009. In court documents, King said she was unsure of Allman's income or assets. She said she needed to hire a forensic accountant to determine his sources of income and net worth. In June, Allman was released after being hospitalised following a reported overdose in Joshua Tree, California. The situation came several months after Cher dropped her attempt to place Allman under a conservatorship.
