Stephanie Seymour should not be the only one who should undergo drug testing, as she battles it out in court in divorce and custody proceedings with ex-husband Peter Brant. According to a feature on ContactMusic.com, Judge Michael Shay has denied a request from Brant’s lawyers, who argued that Ms. Seymour should be the only one required to continue undergoing drug testing.
The former supermodel has previously received a slap in the wrist for missing a drug test. At that time, both parties were undergoing drug testing.
Brant’s lawyers, however, said that the publishing mogul should be allowed to skip the testing since he has, so far, maintained a clean record since the court proceedings began last year.
Judge Shay said in his ruling, though, that it would be unfair for Ms. Seymour to have her image before her children stained by the fact that she is the only one submitting samples regularly for the purpose of drug testing. Ms. Seymour’s tests, according the Judge Shay, have all been negative so far.
The former couple is currently battling it out for custody of their three children: Peter Jr., 15; Harry, 12; and Lilly, 4. Brant’s lawyers have previously argued that Seymour was an unfit mother, requesting that full custody be given to Brant.
A trial has been set for next month, September, but the request of Brant’s lawyers for the changing of the drug testing rules prompted a pre-divorce trial hearing in a court at Stamford, Connecticut, last Friday, August 6.
