ANNE HECHE TAKES PARENTING CLASS

Anne Heche and her ex-husband Coley Laffoon have been appointed a parenting coach to teach them how to look after their seven-year-old son Homer.

Anne Heche has been ordered to take parenting lessons.

The 'Psycho' actress and her ex-husband Coley Laffoon have been appointed a "parenting plan co-ordinator", who will teach them how to look after their seven-year-old son Homer.

The advisor will "coach the parents on effective co-parenting", help them "make joint parenting decisions" and resolve disputes concerning the court-ordered parenting plan.

Anne and Coley separated in January 2007 and spent the next two years fighting over spousal and child support in court, before reaching a divorce settlement earlier this year.

They fought bitterly in court, with Anne claiming Coley was only interested in "porn, poker and money" while he said she was mentally unstable.

Their disagreement continued after their divorce was finalised, with the actress branding Coley a "lazy a*s" who lives off her spousal support cheques during a TV interview with David Letterman.

Coley responded with a vicious tirade on his Facebook page, which read: "I wish Anne Heche could see that public bullying isn't good for the soul or positive for her child. It's mean."

In the end, Anne is believed to have given Coley a $515,000 lump sum payment. He also got half of their assets, including $700,000 worth of stocks.

Anne is now living with her 'Men in Trees' co-star James Tupper. They have one child together, six-month-old Atlas.
