Anne Heche‘s ex-husband James Tupper has filed paperwork in court to become the legal guardian of their 13-year-old son, Atlas Heche Tupper.

Another development. Amid the messy battle over Anne Heche’s estate, her ex-partner James Tupper filed a new petition to prevent the late actress’ son Homer from becoming brother Atlas’ guardian.

Anne Heche's son, Homer Laffoon, filed an opposition to James Tupper's petition for appointment of guardian ad litem Tuesday in new court documents submitted to a Los Angeles County court and obtained by Fox News Digital. Tupper, who dated Heche for 11 years and has 13-year-old son Atlas with the late actress, initially filed paperwork Monday seeking to establish himself as the guardian ad litem of his son, who is legally a minor.Tupper's documents then go on to request "a bonded, neutral, private, professional fiduciary be selected to administer the subject estate."
