Report: Jaime Pressly Custody Battle Heats Up

By Sarah Crow Posted Jan 31st 2011 11:20AM

'My Name is Earl' star Jaime Pressly, who was recently arrested on suspicion of DUI and is facing close to $600,000 in tax liens from the IRS, has come up against another load of legal issues, RadarOnline.com reports.

The actress reportedly filed for divorce from her husband of 16 months, entertainment lawyer Simran Singh, just last week. Now she's facing further heartbreak at the hands of a former flame.

Pressly's former fiance, DJ Eric Cubiche, may seek custody of his 3-year-old son Dezi, who was born to Pressly while the couple were engaged.

Cubiche's mother, Nairis Calvo, says that the family's concern over Pressly's erratic behavior may force them to take legal action.

"Jaime and Eric have always had a nice relationship when it comes to my grandson Dezi, but that could change," says Calvo. "My son remains focused on Dezi ... We're very protective of Dezi and want nothing but the best for that precious boy."

Pressly, who calls Cubiche "a great father," told Redbook of their parenting style, "We make sure that no matter what happens, Dezi is OK and protected and knows that Mom and Daddy love him. We've never argued in front of him. We don't raise our voices around him."

Despite the amicable nature of their split, Cubiche's mother says of the potential custody battle, "Little Dezi is the most important thing in my son's life, and we will do anything to protect him."

Watch yur money Jaime, sounds like they may be in need of a financial windfall. Bet he wants child support payments that will be enough for he and his concerned family members. The kid is doing just fine where he is and is not in harms way or suffering. Watch your money Jaime!

What I will say is the way NOT to gain full custody is to get arrested for DUI> What were you thinking??? That poor kid.

Anytime a parent is arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence (influence of what??), I would say that the child is not out of harm's way. What I would say is that it is an indicator that the child may, indeed, be IN harm's way. It is an indicator that there may be a substance abuse issue here ... it is a great big red flag.

One DUI isn't indicative of ANYTHING other than one poor decision.
