Heche's Homeric Odyssey Continues
Anne Heche is looking to add more quality time to her datebook.
The actress filed a request Wednesday to modify the existing child-custody order between her and estranged hubby Coley Laffoon, which currently states that Heche must give her ex two weeks' notice when she plans to spend time with their five-year-old son, Homer.
Heche would like to quash that stipulation, due to her hectic work schedule, and instead be required to give a week's notice if she doesn't plan to see the child, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. (View the filing.)
"Occasionally I have breaks in my work schedule that would permit me to travel to Los Angeles for up to four days," Heche's declaration reads. "I request an order that when one of these breaks occurs, I may spend the time with Homer in Los Angeles on seven days advance notice to Coley. I never have more than seven days advance notice of such breaks and therefore cannot give more notice."
The Men in Trees star, who's currently shooting the ABC comedy's second season in Vancouver, also wants to switch their previously scheduled time together around so that she is taking care of him from Aug. 21-28, when Laffoon is scheduled to move out of the Hollywood home they used to share.
Heche also wants access to the house starting Aug. 31, so that she can remove whatever possessions she hasn't already hauled away.
Laffoon agreed Wednesday to move out of the Las Palmas Avenue residence, which has been sold by Sept. 2, per Heche's filing. They are scheduled to close escrow on Sept. 7.
A Los Angeles judge granted Laffoon and Heche joint legal custody of Homer, with the actress getting every other weekend with him while she's in Vancouver, but ruled that L.A., where he attends school, would continue to be Homer's primary residence.
When both parents are living in L.A., Homer will spend every other week with mom, according to the court order.
Heche was also ordered to pay $14,798 a month in child and spousal support, kick in 90 percent of the cost of Homer's private-school tuition, medical bills and extracurricular activities, and pay the $9,877 monthly mortgage for their Hollywood abode.
The almost-exes have also been ordered to express their frustrations and/or exchange information via email or telephone and quit using Homer as a mouthpiece.
