Anne Heche’s soon to be ex demands son’s custody, $400,000/year child support
Someone read Anne Heche’s autobiography, Call Me Crazy, cover to cover.
Earlier this month, Heche’s estranged hubby, Coley Laffoon, filed court papers in which he expresses doubt as to whether she is “psychologically capable” of caring for their five-year-old son Homer and requests joint legal and primary physical custody of the boy, plus $33,000 a month in child support and no less than $15,000 in attorney fees.
Detailing myriad ways in which he has been the primary caregiver since Homer was born, Laffoon, 33, questions Heche’s ability to parent in the face of her “bizarre and delusional behavior” and asks that a psych evaluation “be commenced immediately.”
In documents filed May 2 in Los Angeles Superior Court and released Thursday, Laffoon cites an incident last September in which he and Homer were staying in Vancouver and Heche, 37, who was on her way back from New York and was supposed to change planes in Los Angeles, called him at about 11:30 p.m. sounding confused and said that she “didn’t know where she was and that she needed help.”
Because he was in Canada, Laffoon called Heche’s L.A. publicist and asked if she could go look for her. The publicist wasn’t able to find her, Laffoon states, but the next day Heche returned to Vancouver and acted as if nothing had happened.
Per the filing, Heche, who stars on the ABC series Men in Trees, makes about $81,000 per episode, so she should be well-equipped to meet his demands, which have been calculated according to the “marital standard of living” became accustomed to.
Heche fired back via a statement released by a spokesperson today, saying that Laffoon is going after her in court because she wouldn’t pay him the original $45,000 a month he had asked for.
BUT WAIT, IT’S NOT OVER! MORE AFTER THE JUMP!!! (more…)
