James Tupper may have no legal ground in asking to be the guardian ad litem of his biological son, Atlas Heche Tupper, according to a legal expert.
Family law expert, Atousa Saei, explained to PEOPLE why Anne Heche‘s son and Atlas’ half-brother, Homer Laffoon, may have the upper hand in litigation regarding Heche’s estate.
“I really think that Tupper is just going to be kind of faded out of this whole situation,” Saei told PEOPLE. “I think he’s the father of a minor who stands to inherit from his mother, and I think that’s really going to be the extent of his involvement here. I don’t think that the court’s going to find that he’s a valid — that he’s the executor of it, of the estate.”
