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." Laffoon claims Tupper is "precluded from serving as the minor's guardian ad litem based on several actual and potential conflicts of interest." The documents state Tupper professed affection for both of the children, which could be an issue if he is "ever forced to side with one child against the other." A source told Fox News Digital that Atlas's interests are already "adequately represented in the proceedings" as they are also Homer's interests.
