Heche's Ex: Anne Is Delusional!

Anne HecheAnne Heche's soon-to-be-ex-hubby claims that he's worried the actress isn't psychologically capable of caring for their son, and says she refuses to see a shrink!

In court papers filed earlier this month in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Coley Laffoon is asking a judge for joint custody of the couple's 5-year-old son Homer, but claims that Anne's "bizarre and delusional behavior" and "poor parenting skills" could be a problem. In the papers, Laffoon claims that Anne once didn't put Homer in a car seat, she often cusses in front of the child, and packed school lunches that Homer "did not like." Laffoon added that his prior experience as a nanny and a summer camp counselor justify giving him joint custody.

Hollywood is Splitsville: click to launchLaffoon is also asking for $33,000 a month in spousal support, even though he claims he only made $6,000 a year as a videographer, before the two were married. According to the documents, Heche makes $81,000 an episode for her role in "Men In Trees."

Laffoon filed for divorce Feb. 2, 2007.

UPDATE: A spokesperson for Heche released the following statement:

It is disappointing that Coley Laffoon has resorted to filing lies with the court because Anne would not cave in to his astronomical monetary demands, including his demand for $45,000 a month in support. For the past several years, the child's father has refused to get a job in order to contribute financially to the child's care.

46. Anne Heche is a liar. She said in an interview after they had their son that she was going back to work and her husband was going to be a stay-at-home dad. It was nothing of the kind him refusing to get a job! Nice try crazy pants!

47. Heche is a bit of a freak, and very scummy for leaving her husband for her co-star. It has been well-documented that she had a very HUGE melt down and she admits that she has had emotional and psycholical issues. I think packing a lunch the kid doesn't like and cussing in front of him ISN'T proof that she is an unfit mother, though.

They should share custody, and, unfortunately for Heche, if she was the sole breadwinner, then she is going to have to pay some spousal support. Remember what happened to Kirsty Alley when she left the Parker Stevenson? He got $6,000,000 settlement, after asking for $75,000 per month. While I seriously doubt Heche is worth as much as Kirsty, without a prenup, she'll end up paying.

I think it is a karma thing, what comes around goes around.

48. What does this dufus expect? After Heche broke up with Ellen, she was found wandering in a field in Fresno, zonked out of her mind. Everyone & their mother knew she was a nutcase a long time ago. At the same time, he didn't get a job? And he wants $33,000 a month in support? What the hell has this bozo been smoking? I wonder about people in hollywood; do they have any idea exactly how much $33,000 per month is?

49. WHY IS IT WHEN WOMEN REQUEST HIGH DOLLAR SPOUSAL SUPPORT, THEY ARE LOOKING OUT FOR THE KIDS. bUT LET THE FATHER ASK FOR THE SAME HE ISNT. i SEE A DOUBLE STANDARD. iF THEY DECIDED THAT IT WAS MORE BENIFICIAL FOR THE FATHER TO STAY AT HOME(WHICH IT OBVIOUSLY WAS) THEN HE WAS LOSING NOT ONLY HIS JOB BUT ALSO HIS DIGNITY BUT YOU WONT HEAR ABOUT THAT. i DID THE SAME AND IT ALMOST DROVE MY WIFE AND I APART. WE ARE STRONGER IN OUR RELATIONSHIP NOW THAT WE BOTH ARE WORKING. I LOVE MY SON AND WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HIM. THIS GUY DESERVES THE MONEY, I BET IF IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AORIUND SHE WOULD BE ASKING FOR MORE AND PROBABLY GET IT.

52. To all the num nuts who are criticizing Heche, since when has her behavior been out of the norm in Hollywood? Many of you call her delusional because of her 'alien experience". To those of you who believe in God or Allah, that can be called delusional because there's no proof he exist. You base it on faith or what some preacher in funny robes who tells you he exist. How delusional is it to say a prayer to someone or something that's never been seen or proved ever existed?

55. Anne Heche has a history or being delusional or "different" She couldn't decide which gender she wanted to be with for a while. I don't think that her ex husbands case is strong enough to warrant $33,000 or joint custody. But why should he have to prove he deserves joint custody he is the father.

56. Maybe Coley stays home full time i because SOMEONE needs to take care of Homer.

58. Laffoon? More like buffoon! What a jerk! From the article it seems to me that he is trying to blow small things out of proportion to get $$$$$$. Has he been talking to/taking lessons from Virgie?

59. People in Hollywood shouldn't be allowed to marry and procreate. I predict expensive psychiatric bills in Homer's future.

60. Homer has a mom who works and a full time mom-----So what if he is not getting his favorite--- lunch and she cusses!-----Parents please don't be afraid to be the boss-----or a parent!-----My neighbor apologized because she had to repremand her child in front of me---I thanked her for doing her job! I work with children who are victims of overindulgence not abuse----The children are acting in charge in this country and it has to stop---We do not have to be friends with our children----we have to be parents! Children have to have some fear of there parent---fear of getting into trouble and knowing there are boundaries is so much more important than making sure we don't dissapoint our child by giving a lunch that is not approved of!
