In February 2007, actress Anne Heche and her husband Coleman Laffoon (a freelance cameraman), filed for divorce. The parties have a five year old son, Homer. The two have been engaged in a heated custody battle in the Los Angeles Superior Court. It has been reported that Laffoon has attacked Heche’s parenting skills, and Heche has accoused Laffoon of being addicted to pornography and online poker.

Despite the bitter accusations, it has been reported that Anne and Coleman may have made some progress during the most recent court hearing in September. According to the Associated Press, Heche said that she had “a good day in court” on September 26. Laffoon implied similar satisfaction. The progress could well be attributed the negotiating skills of the high powered attorneys handling the case.

Heche is represente by Dan Jaffe of the well known Beverly Hills law firm, Jaffe and Clemens. Laffoon is represented by Jon Summers, a partner at the Los Angeles law firm of Freid and Goldsman. The firms serve as divorce attorneys to the stars. Freid and Goldsman also represents David Hasseloff in his high profile custody battles.
