Why Jeremy Allen White & Addison Timlin's Custody Agreement Was So Revealing

"Odd Thomas" actor Addison Timlin filed for divorce from "Shameless" star Jeremy Allen White on May 11, 2023, per legal documents obtained by TMZ. Three days later, Timlin shared an Instagram post for Mother's Day in which she wrote, "Being a single mom is not how I pictured it. It is so f***ing hard." She later edited the caption to read, "Co-parent is not how I pictured it," after her use of the term "single mom" was called into question.

White seemed to be just as confused by the Mother's Day post. A source close to the actor told Page Six he was "blindsided" by the social media caption. They reaffirmed that White didn't cheat on Timlin and suggested that the mother of two unfairly punished him for his hectic filming schedule. "Jeremy had no control about where he was filming," the friend said. "He filmed 'The Bear' in Chicago, and any time he could, he came home."

However, the custody agreement's revealing rules surrounding alcohol intake and rehabilitation suggest White's work schedule was not the problem. If White fails his required breathalyzer test, he's permitted one extra attempt to confirm the test's accuracy. If he is found to be drinking while his daughters are under his care, he loses custody immediately.
