Unfortunately for Anne Heche, raising her sons hasn’t always been an easy ride. Far from it, she’s fought two intense custody battles over the years.
Shortly after her break up from Ellen DeGeneres, Heche went on to marry Coley Laffoon and together they welcomed their son, Homer Laffoon. Per People, one month on from Heche’s announcement that they had separated, Coley filed for divorce. From there, a drawn-out custody battle ensued. According to TMZ, Coley accused his estranged wife of “poor parenting skills,” as well as “bizarre and delusional behavior.” Two years later, Heche slammed her ex-husband as a “lazy a**” on “Late Show with David Letterman” (via TMZ). Ultimately, per TMZ, the former couple got shared custody, as long as Homer stayed in Los Angeles.
At the time of that custody battle, Heche had the full support of her then-boyfriend, James Tupper. Per Irish Examiner, he gushed over her dedication “to all the good things.” He and Heche went on to have a son of their own, Atlas Tupper. However, when Heche and James called it quits after 10 years together, they, too, went through a tough fight for custody. According to court documents published by Daily Mail, Heche accused James of locking her and Atlas out of their home. James denied the claims — and, per an email obtained by Radar, hinted that the suggestion may have been, “linked to extended drug use.”
