Update: Homer Laffoon custody case reaches agreement

Tags: Legal issues , News

Update: TMZ updates, saying that when Anne is in LA, custody will be split 50/50. When she is out of town late July-March '08 filming Men In Trees, the below custody agreement will be in place.

Originally posted 10:15 am: The ongoing battle between Anne Heche and her estranged husband Coley Laffoon over their 5-year-old son Homer reached an agreement yesterday, with a judge ordering primary physical custody to be awarded to stay-at-home dad Coley, with alternate weekend visits for Anne.

In addition, Coley will receive an unspecified amount of child support, although a source says the cash is 'well below his original demands' of $33,000 a month.

It is unclear how the new ruling will affect the current temporary custody agreement -- Coley and Anne are supposed to share custody until July 22nd, with Anne paying Coley $19,000 a month in child support.

I think that's a good arrangement. Anne is a bit unstable and doesn't need primary custody of any child.

Thank God for that. Anne is clearly too mentally unstable to care for a child right now, and after the comments her lawyer made about Cody not "financially contrbituting" to Homer because he chose to be a stay-at-home dad, I say good riddance to both Anne and her lawyer.

I'm so happy about the ruling. That kid needs a stable and loving parent to care for him on a daily basis and obviously Anne is not that parent. Coley must be breathing a sigh of relief.

Yeah, I agree totally it is best for Homer.

TMZ.com just published a corrected update on the custody issue:

I'm glad this is the outcome. It's what's best for Homer.

Anne really seems to march to the beat of her own drum (if you know what I mean,lol). I truly hope that the little fellow has love and stability in his life. Poor guy was given the challenge of carrying the name Homer Laffoon thru life. Hope they do what is best for HIM.

Ummm am I insane or 19,000 a bit much for monthly child support? Is that a typo?
someone help me drag my jaw off the floor!

I think $19,000 a month for child support is ridiculous. Some people don't even make that in a year! What the hell does a kid need $19,000 a month for? I think it's for the dad!

$19K a month? That's chump change compared to what Diddy dishes out to all his baby mamas.

Posted by: sarawara at Jun 12, 2007 7:56:23 PM

holy crap... 19,000 a month?????? i wish i got that much lol

Posted by: Rianna at Jun 12, 2007 8:32:18 PM

Child support in most jurisdicitions is figured out by a complicated formula, which includes how much parents' incomes. It may not be any more percentage wise than other parents pay it just looks like more.

Posted by: me myself and i at Jun 12, 2007 8:34:48 PM

Well if Anne is all that unstable, how stable can he be to have married her? Oh well, I hope it's what is best for the child.

Posted by: terri at Jun 12, 2007 10:17:15 PM

I agree that Homer was placed in the more stable home. What I don't get is why famous people think they need that astronomic child support payment. Sure its nice to have $19,000-$33,000 a month child support but come on parents do it all the time w/ less every month.....it DOES NOT take that much to support 1 child in a single month even if the custodial parent didn't work it still leaves them well off.
i have friends who support more than 1 child on less than that and they are comfortable.

i know i know they are accustomed to the finer things, i'm just saying it isn't right.

Posted by: melissa at Jun 12, 2007 11:46:29 PM

Child support is all relative. It really depends on what the parents are making. The way they try to figure the amount is so the child's standard of living won't change once it's parents are separated.
