Jodie Sweetin and her estranged husband, Cody Herpin, "are working hard to avoid a protracted custody battle," the actress' lawyer said.

The former Full House star, 26, and Herpin, 31, attended their first joint mediation session this week at an Orange County, Calif., court.

"They're currently trying to work things out regarding the custody of and sharing of their child," attorney Wilma Presley says.

"As far as reconciliation as a couple goes, you just never know."

Despite the recent drama, "Jodie is doing very well," Presley added. "She had a very nice Christmas. She had her daughter on Christmas Eve and morning, and so far, the sharing has been smooth. There haven't been complaints from either side."

Presley says that Jodie Sweetin is also "working hard on maintaining her sobriety and attending a 12-step program," as well as dedicating time to her book, which is an autobiography about both her childhood stardom and personal struggles.

Who'd have guessed Stephanie Tanner would turn into a train wreck.

Actually, a fair number of people, probably. You know how it goes with these child stars. Anyway, actress Jodie Sweetin is no longer allowed to see her eight-month-old daughter Zoie without supervision, according to a new court ruling.

A Orange County, Calif., judge made the decision after Sweetin's estranged husband, Cody Herpin, accused the former Full House star of being an unfit mother - citing an alleged incident in which Sweetin drove drunk with Zoie in the car.

The emergency custody hearing was held at Cody Herpin's request.

Jodie Sweetin, an admitted meth addict and alcoholic who moved in with her parents after staring down foreclosure at her own residence, is not allowed to be with Zoie unless one of her folks is present. Well, at least they live together.

A doctor also took the stand and claimed that Jodie had recently fallen off the wagon. However, the doctor said Jodie has been in touch with her sponsor and attending AA meetings. She does not believe the baby is at risk at the moment.

In a sign that can only be taken as promising for their daughter, the judge ordered both Cody and Jodie to submit to drug tests before the next hearing.

In other Full House alumni news, Candace Cameron is real thin!

"Our house is in foreclosure, our water has been shut off twice. Currently, all of our other utilities are overdue. Our marriage has been rocky. [Herpin] kept finding one excuse after another for his failure to even attempt to find employment."

In the latest sign of tumultuous economic times, even former child stars are succumbing to rising adjustable mortgage rates and increased unemployment.

Cody Herpin, a driver and transportation coordinator in the film industry, stopped working after marrying Jodie Sweetin, the former Full House star alleges.

In court papers filed in Orange Country, Calif., Sweetin claims the couple were kept afloat financially with Full House residuals and help from their parents.

The actress filed for legal separation from Cody Herpin last month.

The documents come as part of a request for a court order allowing her to retrieve her stuff, as well as clothing and toys for their 7-month-old daughter, Zoie, in the event Herpin "prevents [her] from peacefully taking these items."

Sweetin claims she worries Herpin "will become very emotional and possibly erratic." Reached for comment by People, Herpin that Sweetin has returned home four times since the filing the court petition, but she won't even talk to him.

"I still have no idea what this is about," he says. "None of it makes sense."

As for his lack of employment, Cody Herpin says, "I was the stay-at-home dad, my job was taking care of Zoie," due to Sweetin's busy schedule.

Just days after Jodie Sweetin filed for separation from husband Cody Herpin, her agent says the actress is "trying to stay positive" for 7-month-old daughter Zoie.

"Her focus is the baby," agent Stella Alex said Saturday. "Jodie's got a huge support system in her family and friends. She thinks this is what's best for her."

For his part, Cody Herpin, 31, says he's "still discombobulated" over the split, according to a report in People magazine. "Not knowing what's going on is hard."

He adds that Sweetin, 26, and their daughter are staying with her parents. "It's rough," he says. "Marriage is not taken lightly to me. It's supposed to be forever."

A SHATTERED MARRIAGE: Cody Herpin and Jodie Sweetin with baby Zoie.

According to the Superior Court papers filed on Wednesday in Orange County, Calif., Jodie Sweetin cited "irreconcilable differences" as the cause of the pair's split, and currently she seeks joint legal and physical custody of Zoie.

Former Full House actress, new mom and recovering meth addict Jodie Sweetin is splitting up with her husband of a year and change, Cody Herpin.

The 26-year-old Sweetin filed papers in Orange County, Calif., for legal separation from Cody Herpin, 31, whom the actress had once called a "blessing" who helped turn around her life after years of methamphetamine addiction.

The pair were married in July 2007 and welcomed a daughter, Zoie, this April. They recently announced they were working on a reality show together.

That's a new one, splitting up before their reality show airs. Maybe they can re-marry in time for the premiere? One can hope. One can only hope.

Here's a look back at some of the highlights of their marriage:

Former Full House star Jodie Sweetin is taking the Tori Spelling approach to getting back in the news: A useless reality series no one cares about.

"My husband and I are now shooting our reality show, which is going to be really fun," Sweetin told People. "It's following us and our new baby."

"[It's all about] getting back in the business, especially for me. I think it's going to be a really exciting show. It's definitely going to show my sillier, funner side, and me being a mom. Add in this business, [and] it's going to be a fun show."

We hope the Jodie Sweetin reality show contains action like this.

Jodie Sweetin gave birth to misspelled daughter Zoie in April. The father is a dude named Cody Herpin, who married the recovering meth addict in July 2007.

What's not certain is a home for the show, which is awaiting a network. Amazing that they're not bending over backwards competing for this future smash.

"We don't [have one], but we're actually shooting it," Sweetin says. "We've shopped it with several right now, and we're in talks or negotiations with two of them."

Former Full House star Jodie Sweetin has a new role that comes with a full heart: mother to 7-week-old baby girl Zoie.

"You look at your baby and think, 'Wow, I did that.' It's really amazing," Sweetin said.

As Zoie happily snoozes on the shoulder of her dad, Sweetin's husband Cody Herpin, the marveling mom says, "I'm still like, 'Oh, wow, I'm a mom.' It's the most overwhelming, exciting thing I've ever done."

And a far cry from where she's been.

Best known for playing spunky middle child Stephanie Tanner on Full House from age 5 to 13, Sweetin then landed a real-life role that cast her against type: battling an addiction to crystal meth.

Jodie Sweetin and hubby Cody Herpin just became parents!

At 22, Sweetin was a college student married to LAPD officer Shaun Holguin and taking a break from acting when she first tried the drug.

We were all set to congratulate former Full House star Jodie Sweetin and her husband Cody Herpin on their new daughter... until we saw her name.

Zoie? Really?!?

The misspelled child was born via C-section on Saturday afternoon.

"Jodie says that she and her husband and family are absolutely thrilled and in love with baby Zoie," says a rep for the actress.

Jodie Sweetin is stealing the celebrity baby thunder from Halle Berry and Christina Aguilera.

We've just learned that the former Full House star and husband Cody Herpin are expecting. Congratulations are due for this former meth addict/pretend daughter of Bob Saget.

Good chance the conception between these sex kittens took place on the night pictured below:

Like Tameka Foster, Jodie Sweetin is now with child.

We'll be seeing Jodie Sweetin nude in no time.

See, the former star of Full House (yes, that's Stephanie Tanner below) recently engaged in some serious lap dancing at night club Area in Los Angeles with her frightened husband, Cody Herpin.

And a few months ago, Pamela Anderson and Cindy Crawford did the same for their respective beaus. Meanwhile, guess what turned up this week:

Yup, Cindy Crawford nude photos.

So, as you can see, Sweetin is taking all the necessary steps to eventually pose in the buff. And it would be quite the upset if she made it into the pages of Playboy before former co-stars, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, wouldn't it? 

But it seems likely, now that Sweetin has made celebrity news three times recently for the following reasons:

1. Marrying Cody Herpin
2. Showing off her large breasts
3. Giving a lap dance

Moreover, the actress hosted a program actually called "Pants Off/Dance Off." While seemingly a showcase for the train wreck that is Britney Spears, this competition appears to be ideal for Jodie, as well.

Herpin, meanwhile, looks a bit caught off guard by his wife's actions. And that's saying a lot for a guy that recently finished filming the horror movie Resident Evil: Extinction, alongside Heroes actress Ali Larter.

Looks to us like nothing in that film is scarier to Cody than Jodie Sweetin getting all up in his business.
