Anne Heche and her soon to be ex husband Coley Laffoon have finally reached a divorce settlement. Court papers have Anne paying out a one time $275,000 lump sum to Coley and then $3,700 each month moving forward for child support. The couple shares a 6 year old son. Prior to the agreement, Anne was shelling out $15,000 a month in child support, so the decrease is quite significant.

Under the settlement, Heche, 38, also will pay 75 percent of son Homer's private school tuition and half of "agreed-upon extracurricular activities" for the boy, according to L.A. Superior Court papers.

Anne Heche's (soon to be) ex-husband is filing for joint custody because he feels that she is incapable of caring for their 5 year old son. Coley Laffoon is claiming that Anne's "bizarre and delusional behavior" and "poor parenting skills" are reason enough to grant him custody. Uh... YEAH! Wasn't she the only who was found aimlessly walking around talking about aliens a few years back? It seems that his son isn't the only concern. Coley is also asking for $33,000 a month in spousal support! What on EARTH does anyone need that much money for? Anne's laywers 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.

Coley Laffoon, Anne Heche's husband, wasted no time waiting around to see if his wife will change her mind and come back to him. He has already filed for divorce. Perhaps that is because he is aware of Anne's stellar relationship record. We should take bets how long this new romance will last and who will be the next person in Hollywood to break it up. I'm still routing for another woman to come back into the picture. Or better yet - maybe she will fall in love with a ghost this time.

Anne Heche's husband, Coley Laffoon, filed for divorce after five years of marriage, according to papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. Laffoon, who cited the usual irreconcilable differences, is seeking joint custody of their 4-year-old son, Homer, and spousal support from Heche, the papers show. Laffoon filed for divorce against the Men in Trees star Thursday and the papers were released on Friday. He gave no date of separation. (source)

This story would have been so much better if the co-star was a woman. But either way, Anne Heche has officially left her husband for James Tupper. James and Anne met on the set of "Men in Trees".

Sources tell ET that ANNE HECHE has left her husband, COLEY LAFFOON, for her "Men in Trees" co-star JAMES TUPPER. Heche's rep confirms that she and Laffoon have separated. The two were married in 2001 and have a son together. (source)
