Former Full House star and new mom Jodie Sweetin is splitting with her
husband.
Sweetin, 26, filed papers Wednesday 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 couple became parents of daughter Zoie
in April.
"I was dumbfounded," Herpin tells PEOPLE, adding that Sweetin left
their home and took their 7-month-old girl. "Over this past month
something has been different. I'm concerned about our daughter and I
just want (Zoie) home."
Sweetin's agent, Stella Alex, says the actress is "absolutely clean"
and that the couple have "come to this path in their life and she felt
like this is the way she had to go. Jodie says it's unfortunate but
it's just what has to happen right now. No more detail, only because
she says she doesn't want to be disrespectful to him."
The pair were married in July 2007 and recently announced they were
working on a reality show together.
According to the Superior Court papers, Sweetin seeks joint legal and
physical custody of Zoie.
The actress lists the date of separation as Tuesday – the day before
papers were filed – and cites as the cause the standard
"irreconcilable differenes." She also asks that Herpin pay the legal
costs.
