Jodie Sweetin recently underwent an emergency investigation by an Orange County, Calif., family court for allegations of substance abuse raised by her estranged husband, PEOPLE confirms.
"It's primarily alcohol [abuse] but there's also concern regarding methamphetamines," Robert Benavente, the lawyer for her ex Cody Herpin, tells PEOPLE.
Sweetin's lawyer strongly denies the claims. "Jodie absolutely has not relapsed into using meth," Wilma Presley tells PEOPLE. "She merely confessed to having several glasses of wine over dinner recently and felt guilty about that. She is currently in a 12-step program and is working hard on her sobriety. She wants to be clean and sober from everything."
A judge made a temporary ruling Wednesday that Sweetin's custody over daughter, Zoie, 8 months, must only be in her parents' home (where she currently lives) or in her parents' presence.

Former Full House star Jodie Sweetin is no longer allowed to see her 8-month-old daughter without the supervision of at least one of her parents.
A Orange County, California judge made the ruling this afternoon, after Jodie’s estranged husband, Cody Herpin, asked for an emergency custody hearing, during which he accused the recovering meth addict of being an unfit mother.
In fact, Cody cited an incident in which his wife allegedly drove intoxicated with their daughter, Zoie, in the car.
(And he knew that such an incident took place and he conveniently neglected to bring it up until Jodie started divorce proceedings? Me thinks that’s a bit fishy. Funny how he didn’t figure out how unfit she was until she left him. Given the options, let’s hope the judge does what’s best for Zoie and hands her over to be raised by a pack of wolves. With these two douchebursts for parents, she’d undoubtedly be better off.)
According to TMZ.com, a doctor took the stand and claimed that Jodie had recently suffered a relapse. To her credit however, she has been in touch with her sponsor and is attending AA meetings regularly.

Today a judge ordered that Jodie Sweetin cannot be alone with her 8-month-old daughter Zoie. Sweetin abruptly left her husband Cody Herpin in November, taking Zoie with her. Cody filed for an emergency hearing in family court, saying he was worried Jodie had fallen off the wagon and might be using drugs or alcohol again, which resulted in the decision.
Full House alum Jodie Sweetin is not allowed to see her 8-month-old daughter without supervision, an Orange County, Calif., judge ruled during an emergency custody hearing Wednesday. The ruling came after Sweetin’s estranged husband Cody Herpin accused her of being an unfit mother — and allegedly that she once drove intoxicated with their daughter Zoie in the car, TMZ.com reports.
A doctor who took the stand also claimed that Sweetin, 26 — a former meth addict and alcoholic who lives with her parents — had relapsed but has been in touch with her sponsor and is attending AA meetings. The doctor said she does not believe the baby is at risk at the moment.
Sweetin will now not be allowed to be with the child unless one of her parents is present, the judge said. A judge ordered both Sweetin and Herpin to submit to drug tests before the next hearing. The couple announced their split in November after a year together. She is seeking joint legal and physical custody of Zoie.

People says that the main concern was that Jodie was drinking again, but they’re also worried about meth.
“It’s primarily alcohol [abuse] but there’s also concern regarding methamphetamines,” Robert Benavente, the lawyer for her ex Cody Herpin, tells PEOPLE.
Sweetin’s lawyer strongly denies the claims. “Jodie absolutely has not relapsed into using meth,” Wilma Presley tells PEOPLE. “She merely confessed to having several glasses of wine over dinner recently and felt guilty about that. She is currently in a 12-step program and is working hard on her sobriety. She wants to be clean and sober from everything.”
[From People]
Obviously a few glasses of wine can be a problem for anyone with an addictive personality, and it’s a slippery slope. While Jodie did take Zoie with her when she left Cody, she’s been living with her parents so having them around probably won’t be hard. This sounds like it’s going to be one dramatic divorce case. It’s unlikely Cody is going for Jodie’s money, since their home is in foreclosure and she’s stated that all of their bills are past due. Hopefully that was a one-time slip for Jodie and she’ll be able to pass the drug test and move on to better things.

I totally called this one. Not that it was a difficult call or anything, but still. Jodie Sweetin’s relapsed, and a judge has issued a ruling that she is not allowed to be alone with her baby.

So, yeah. Stop being so predictable, Hollywood.
In general, here’s a rule I’ve learned: When celebrities are all like, “Yeah, I used to have an addiction problem, but now I don’t. I can totally just have one or two drinks and be fine,” you can pretty much just start counting down the days until there’s a gigantic relapse. Tara Reid proved this nicely for us last week, and now it’s Jodie’s turn.
Personally, I’m kind of waiting anxiously for the enormous Nicole Richie relapse that I just know is on its way.
More evidence of Speidi nuptial fakery comes to light! And for some baffling reason, the AP is reporting on it as if it were actual news.

In honor of the holidays, PETA has created a new game where you try to hit fur-wearing celebrities with snowballs, including Donna Karan, Charlton Heston, Colonel Sanders, Larry Jones, Sarah Palin and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Each celebrity is worth a different point value and the more you hit, the further in the game you go.
“We’ve written polite letters, we’ve sent them video exposes, we’ve even held protests - maybe it takes a dash of snow in the face to knock some sense into fur-flaunting stars,” senior vice-president Dan Matthews said in a press release.
They also have holiday e-cards to send and share with your friends.
The game is a fun and playful way to make their point (despite the fact they still call MK and Ash the Trollsen twins and insist on using the troll-like figures) as opposed to their demonstrations and their previous Trollsen game where you dressed up Hairy-Kate and Trashley in animal blood.

You know you’re an unfit mother when… your estranged husband calls an emergency hearing to take custody of your baby away from you citing the time you drove drunk with him in the car. That’s what happened to Jodie Sweetin.
A doctor told the judge that Jodie had fallen off the wagon but kept in contact with her sponsor. He admitted that the baby isn’t at risk at the moment. As a result, the judge ordered Jodie be supervised at all times when she’s with the kid. I guess it didn’t help much that Jodie was a meth addict / alcoholic who lived with her parents.
Aww shucks, don’t be such a worry wart. It’s not like she’s going to drown the baby in the bathtub. Not now anyway. Oh, you ruin everything Judge McDowner.

Who says that Hollywood marriages are always short? Not this year. After looking over the celebrity divorces that were either filed or finalized in 2008, I calculated the median length of marriage for the 40 break-ups we covered at the divorce site Firstwivesworld.com, and made a startling discovery. Divorcing celebrities stayed together longer than the national average.
It's easy to say that actors, sports stars, and musicians are vacuous, self-centered egotists who don't value commitment and family. But in fact, this year's divorces reveal that many didn't consider marriage as disposable as Bic pens and maybe it's time to rewrite this perception.
Statistically speaking, the median U.S. marriage ending in divorce lasted 7.8 years. The median length of marriage for the 40 celebrities FWW reported on this year was more than 9 years.
Sure, comedian Chris Kattan and Sunshine Tutt held this year's record for the shortest marriage, only 16 weeks and "Private Practice" star Kate Walsh and TV exec Andrew Young lasted 15 months.
But many of those who split were together for more than 20 years. Those couples include Morgan Freeman, 24 years, Hulk and Linda Hogan, 24 years, and Ronnie and Jo Wood, 23 years.
Couples who lasted longer than 10 years included Dylan McDermott and Shiva Rose - 13 years;
Marg Helgenberger and Alan Rosenberg -19 years; Tea Leoni and David Duchovny - 11 years; and Robin and Marsha Williams - 19 years.
Here is the list of the break-ups we covered as well as a collection of the most interesting, touching, annoying, inspiring stories about the splits, the fits, the emotional pits and the couples who called it quits.

And now Firstwivesworld.com's year-end round-up.
The Let's-Just-Be-Friends Award
(Most Amicable Divorce)
Robin Williams and Marsha Garces Williams
Talk about civil unions. No sooner had the couple announced their split after 19 years of marriage than they signed an official agreement stating "we commit ourselves to the collaborative divorce process and agree to seek a positive way to resolve our differences justly and equitably" -- all for the sake of their two children. For those of you playing along at home, this is the way to go.
Runner Up: Dixie Chick Emily Robison and singer Chris Robison. How do we know they were both "ready to make nice"? Their divorce took a mere six months, and the filing was a scant two and a half pages.
The Stirred-Not-Shaken Award
(Best Blended Family)
Demi Moore and Bruce Willis
Is it possible to have it all? Our answer: Look at Demi Moore. Gorgeous, talented, wealthy, hot husband, supportive ex, and great kids! With everyone loving and accepting each other, it's like we're somewhere over the rainbow and just left of center. Wherever we landed (Kansas, OZ, or Hollywood), bravo to Demi and Bruce for consistently blending Thanksgiving, Christmas, film openings, birthdays, etc.
Forced to Divorce: Sad State of the Union
Geneva Sharpe
Emily and Rudy Friece
It seems beyond comprehension that couples would be forced to divorce in order to afford emergency healthcare - and this in the United States. Two couples we know of: Geneva Sharpe and her husband, and Emily and Rudy Friece, divorced so the women could afford Medicaid for costly surgeries and treatments. It is a sad state of affairs when during a time you need your partner most, they must be ripped away. We can all only hope for a change to the system.
The 'Til-Death-Do-Us-Part Award
(Most Devoted Husband)
Mohammed Bello Abubakar
When Nigerian cleric Abubakar, 84, was told he had to divorce all but four of his 86 wives, he refused - even though doing so might lead to the death penalty. He is currently behind bars, fighting for his love. And you thought "Titanic" was the greatest love story ever told.
The Golden Goose Award
(Biggest Settlement)
Madonna & Guy Ritchie
The Material Girl now has another record to add to her collection: The largest "manimony" settlement ever. Her reported $76 million payout to Guy Ritchie has led us to coin a new term: "Madonnamony."
King Solomon Award
(Most Literal Split of Marital Assets)
Meuon Rima splits house in two
Who says divorce has to be so litigious? If you think there can't be an equitable division of property, just look to Meuon Rima of Cambodia and his now ex-wife, Nhang. In an effort to dodge the expensive and corrupt court system, they agreed to split the marital home the old-fashioned way: with a saw. Meuon was last seen hauling half of his stilt house away towards a new future.
The Preemptive Strike Award
Tatsuhiko Kawata
Perhaps sensing that his marriage would go up in flames, 39-year old Kawata devised a sure-fire way to avoid divorce: He set fire to the hotel in which he was set to get married hours before the ceremony. Talk about a hot-headed solution to cold feet.
Least Alarming Divorce Study
Divorce ruins the environment
Run for the hills Divorcees! Now you've done it. A study was released this year that shows how divorce = multiple homes = more energy use = environmental degradation (duh). Other social factors to blame for the decline in sustainable households: "more couples deciding not to have children, more people not getting married and baby boomers living longer." Um, perhaps the article should be renamed..."Everybody is ruining the environment"?
Least Sympathetic Divorced Woman
Heather Mills
No, it wasn't throwing a glass of water at McCartney's divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton. It's not even that she reportedly blew through a third of her $48 million settlement within six months of receiving it. What really led Mills to top our list was her former publicist's claim that Mills fabricated abuse allegations against Sir Paul. Not only is this totally irresponsible, it's disrespectful to the countless women who have actually experienced domestic abuse.
Least Sympathetic Divorced Man
Peter Cook
After cheating on wife Christie Brinkley with his 18-year-old assistant and racking up a $3,000 a month online porn addiction, Cook pretty much cooked himself in our books. But then he did an interview with Barbra Walters, despite signing a confidentiality agreement that he'd never discuss his divorce (leading him right back to court). And what did he reveal in the interview? That he cheated for "attention." Puh-lease...
The Oldest Accused Cheater of the Year
91-year-old Italian Stallion
In a divorce action, a 60 year old woman in Naples, Italy, accused her husband of cheating on her. Here's the puzzler: Her husband is 91. Of course cheating is bad... but 91 and still humping? Impressive.
Youngest Divorcée of the Year
8-year-old Nojoud Muhammed Nasser
Apparently believing there were too many unmarried pre-teens running around, the government of Yemen acted in 1998 to repeal its ban of marriage under the age of 15. One tragic victim of this deregulation is Nojoud Muhammed Nasser, an 8-year-old girl whose father forced her to marry a man 22 years her senior. Thankfully, the Yemeni courts ruled in the girl's favor, and a divorce was granted (though her father was ordered to pay her ex $250).
Sadly, this is a category that has runners up, including 10-year-old Nujood Ali. She took a taxi to a courthouse by herself to demand a divorce from her 30-year-old husband, who frequently raped and beat her.
The Get-a-Life Award
Woman divorces man for cheating in online fantasy game
Husband and wife David Pollard and Amy Taylor had avatars in the online video game "Second Life" called Dave Barmy and Laura Skye. Follow this soap opera if you can: The real-life husband accused his wife of spending so much time in World of Warcraft (online game) and neglecting him (offline) that his avatar had to seek out the virtual attentions of a sympathetic nightclub hostess (online). During a break from casting spells (online), Amy caught David canoodling with the hostess, resulting in a dual dissolution (online and offline).
Worst Grounds for Divorce
Couple split over ceiling fan
Can you imagine a couple mutually deciding to divorce because one wanted the bedroom fan on at night while the other didn't? Yes, we said a fan. Well, it happened this year in India. While the incident may have been the straw that broke the camel's back, we suspect it was an anemic camel in the first place.
Runners up:
-Insecure wife is certain bibliophile husband is cheating on her with his books.
-Husband certain of future infidelities of hot wife seeks divorce to save himself possible heartache.
Most Convenient Way to Legally Divorce Your Spouse
Divorce via text message
Women's rights groups were outraged this year when the Malaysian national court voted to uphold a law that, in essence, allows men to divorce their wives by text message. We don't know whether to LOL or feel very :( about it. But, frankly, if your husband is the kind of guy who'd break up with you via IM, you're better off without him.
Worst Actress in a Supporting Role
Tricia Walsh-Smith, AKA the YouTube Divorcée
Broadcasting your relationship woes on YouTube might seem like an innovative way to bring attention to your plight. But while revealing your husband's lack of desire to perform in bed or pay for your $600 shoe habit may make some viewers cheer, it tends to draw the ire of judges.
Crass But Showed Some Class Award
Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood
He couldn't get no satisfaction from his wife of 23 years, Jo, so he ran off with a 20-year-old Russian cocktail waitress. Sleazy? You bet. But Ronnie, recognizing how supportive Jo had been of his career, acknowledged that she deserved "pretty much anything she wants."
Biggest Trends in Divorce for 2008
Manimony
Madonna isn't the only woman supporting her ex; thanks to women's increased earning potential, experts identify manimony as a growing trend. Ah, Celebrities - they're just like us. Or almost.
Realistically, this year's break-ups consisted of many long term marriages which is why celebrity splits may have lasted longer than the national average. Who knows if that will be the case for next year. However, one other trend is clear. More and more people realize the benefits of amicable divorces because a generation of research has shown us that that while you are breaking up, you are simultaneously rebuilding a new family format. And it is possible to create new family formats that not only survive, but thrive. You're a real star if you work at making that happen.

Man, does Ashley Olsen look like a bad-A or what? The Maverick shades, the black blazer, the utterly divine crocodile Fendi handbag? I’m scared…and jealous. Not bad for a gal who used to be known for a Pebbles ponytail and movies like “It Takes Two.” Of course, looking cool is pretty much a slam-dunk when you’ve got a sleek, goes-with-just-about-everything Fendi bag in tow. Gotta get me one of those.

Looking at the top half of Ashley Olsen's NYC outfit, it appears she may be attending an important business meeting. But the bottom half tells a whole different story. In her black leggings and Nike sneakers, Ashley could very well be going for a run. Frankly, I'm not surprised that Ashley decided to create her own version of sporty chic. Leave it to the always-experimental mogul to dabble with running sneakers. But does her attempt work? Does she pull it off or does she look silly?

Full House alum Jodie Sweetin is not allowed to see her 8-month-old daughter without supervision, an Orange County, Calif., judge ruled during an emergency custody hearing Wednesday.
The ruling came after Sweetin’s estranged husband Cody Herpin accused her of being an unfit mother — and allegedly that she once drove intoxicated with their daughter Zoie in the car, TMZ.com reports.
A doctor who took the stand also claimed that Sweetin, 26 — a former meth addict and alcoholic who lives with her parents — had relapsed but has been in touch with her sponsor and is attending AA meetings. The doctor said she does not believe the baby is at risk at the moment.
Sweetin will now not be allowed to be with the child unless one of her parents is present, the judge said.
A judge ordered both Sweetin and Herpin to submit to drug tests before the next hearing.
The couple announced their split in November after a year together.
She is seeking joint legal and physical custody of Zoie.
