Jodie Sweetin Works Hard To Prevent Custody Battle

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

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 trying to work things out regarding the sharing of their child," attorney Wilma Presley says.

"As far as reconciliation as a couple goes, in family law, you just never know." Despite recent court drama, "Jodie is doing very well," Presley adds. "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 Sweetin is also "working hard on sobriety attending a 12-step program," as well as dedicating time to her book, an autobiography about her childhood stardom and personal struggles.
