As their custody battle continues, Laura Prepon<\/strong><\/a> is claiming her estranged husband, Ben Foster<\/strong><\/a>, has issues with alcohol abuse.<\/p>\n

According to documents obtained by Us Weekly<\/em> on Wednesday, December 11, Prepon, 44, filed a response to Foster\u2019s plea for the court to set a temporary custody schedule amid their divorce. In the court documents, Prepon requested that the court order Foster, also 44, not to drink alcohol while he is with their two children and during the 12 hours prior or consider a supervisor for his parenting time. (The exes share daughter Ella, 5, and a son born in 2020.)<\/p>\n

The request asked that the court set reasonable holiday time, which would allow the kids to spend Christmas morning with Prepon and to see Foster later that day. Prepon further detailed her and Foster\u2019s living arrangements after they moved from New York to Tennessee in 2022.<\/p>\n

Prepon\u2019s motion stated that she has been living separately from Foster for the past four months amid his busy filming schedule. She claimed that she took their kids to see Foster over the summer, but he allegedly chose \u201cother activities for himself other than spending such time with his children.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLaura Prepon and Ben Foster may have married when they were in their late thirties, but the actors met when they were just teenagers. The Orange Is the New Black alum and the 3:10 to Yuma star share a mutual longtime friend \u2014 actor Danny Masterson, who worked with Prepon for years on That \u201970s [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The actress accused Foster of not returning home<\/a> to see his kids after wrapping production on a movie in August even though \u201che had not seen them in almost four weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead, despite his statements to [Laura] that he would not be going to the Venice Film Festival, [Ben] nonetheless was spotted in Italy on the red carpet posing without his wedding ring,\u201d the paperwork continued. \u201cDespite [Ben\u2019s] repeated absence and unpredictability, [Laura] has continued to provide the children with the necessary stable environment and has continued to ensure that the children maintain a regular routine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prepon\u2019s legal counsel went on to claim that she has concerns about their kids staying<\/a> at Foster\u2019s new home because of his alleged \u201clongstanding history of alcohol abuse.\u201d Prepon recalled Foster allegedly becoming \u201cso inebriated\u201d after their daughter was born in 2017 that he locked himself out of their New York apartment. She allegedly found him asleep on the doorstep in his underwear.<\/p>\n

Prepon also claimed that Foster \u201calways [has] a cup or thermos\u201d on him to day drink, adding, \u201cIt was discovered through [Ben\u2019s] leaving these thermoses or cups around the house that they contained coffee and whiskey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foster\u2019s attorney addressed the filing in a statement to In Touch<\/em><\/a>, which read, \u201cLaura Prepon\u2019s filing is the definition of falsehood and a disturbing fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSome celebrity couples have gone the distance, but others haven\u2019t been as lucky. 2024 kicked off with a handful of Hollywood duos calling it quits. Fans were shocked when The Bachelorette couple Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo split after four years of marriage. Us Weekly confirmed on January 2 that the chiropractor filed for divorce [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier this month, Foster claimed that he was unable to reach a deal<\/a> with his estranged wife over custody.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Ben] has personally attempted to reach a resolution with [Laura] in setting a parenting plan schedule that affords each with substantive parenting time, but all efforts have been unsuccessful,\u201d Foster\u2019s attorney noted in his recent filing.<\/p>\n

Us<\/em> confirmed in September that Foster filed for divorce after six years<\/a> of marriage. He cited \u201cirreconcilable differences\u201d as the reason for the split and listed their date of separation as one year prior.<\/p>\n

Foster and Prepon were first linked in 2016 when they were spotted packing on the PDA at a restaurant in New York City. They tied the knot one year later.<\/p>\n

Prepon previously opened up about juggling<\/a> motherhood and a career.<\/p>\n
