Anne Heche: I Can't Afford Child Support
Anne Heche says she can no longer afford to pay the nearly $15,000-a-month in child and spousal support because she's unemployed after the cancellation of Men In Trees.
"I am continuing to look for work, but I have no offers pending and the impending strike by the Screen Actors Guild reduces my prospects for work even further," Heche, 38, writes in court papers.
A judge Wednesday gave her a temporary break, saying she didn't have to pay her next support payment to her ex Coley Laffoon, 34, covering the month of July. But Superior Court Judge Gail Ruderman Feuer ordered the actress to provide updated income and expense information.
In a court declaration, Heche indicated her financial straits were dire and that she can no longer afford to pay the $14,798 in monthly support, along with private school tuition for her 6-year-old son Homer, the mortgage on her house in Canada where Men In Trees filmed, rent on her Los Angeles home and car expenses.
"Since January 18, 2008, I have been unemployed and had no income from employment except for one very short-term contract for a movie role for which I received a total of $65,00, approximately the amount I received for one episode of Men In Trees, she writes.
She adds: "I do receive some residuals from previous acting work. However, the amounts are nominal and are offset by recurring business expenses that must be paid whether or not I am working."

that's for both child and spousal support and includes tuition for her son's school.
That's still sad though.

It sounds like it doesn't include the school tuition though. I think she probably does have money to cover it, but $15,000 is a v. high number.

Re: Anne Heche: I Can't Afford Child Support
I think $15k a month is insane to begin with for child support. I guess it makes sense though being she makes a lot more money than the average person.

If she is making a lot of money - I could see the $15K. It's based on income of the parent.

Re: Anne Heche: I Can't Afford Child Support
I'm sorry, but this is BS. I dont' believe that a woman who has worked in hollywood has no $ to pay child support. I just don't buy it. I think she is just trying to get out of paying spousal support (and hopefully not child support).
Ever since the whole Ellen thing, this woman just strikes me as a liar and opportunist.

That was my exact thought - she's been "in the business" for many years - she hasn't saved one penny?
Maybe she should try to communicate with the aliens again - they could prob send over some cash!

Re: Anne Heche: I Can't Afford Child Support
honestly - I bet a majority of the actors in Hollywood don't have too much saved
82% of all NFL players are broke with in a year of their last game
Lattrel spreewell's house just got foreclosed on
even Micheal Jackson is broke and he made alot more money then Ann Heche
at least 50-60% of what they make goes to agents, taxes, managers. lawyers
and if the don't work- they don't get paid-
look at the TV Entourge- I think they way they live is very acuarte
Vince is broke- but wants to appear loaded- so they keep the car and live off his black card
when he gets his next role- he is pay everything off and start over
they never think the money is going to stop coming in- and then 1 day it does and they are screwed
