Anne Heche Ordered to Pay Up in Divorce and Child Support Settlement
June 06, 2008
An L.A. Superior Court judge Friday ordered Anne Heche to pay up a chunk of change plus monthly child support to her ex-husband, according to court documents first obtained by CelebTV.com.
The court decided Heche, who has a 6-year-old son with ex Coley Laffoon, must pay the ex-cameraman a lump sum of $275,000 in their divorce settlement, along with monthly child support payments of $3,700.
The Men in Trees Star will also have to foot the bill for 75% of the total cost of her son’s private school education, with Laffoon kicking in the rest. Heche had been paying the full amount.
Also, she and Laffoon were ordered to divvy up a Smith Barney retirement account.
The onetime girlfriend of Ellen DeGeneres’ went to court last month to plead that she was broke and could not afford the nearly $15,000 a month in child support she owed her ex.
The couple’s new settlement deal is effective July 1.
