Halle Berry Ordered To Pay $20,000 A Month In Child Support
Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry has been ordered to pay nearly a quarter of a million dollars a year to her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, TMZ reports.
Berry and Aubry – who are parents to 4-year-old daughter Nahla – were in court Monday, and the family law judge ordered Berry to pay her ex $20,000 a month in child support payments.
In May, Aubry asked a Los Angeles judge to award him the large monthly sum in order to properly raise Nahla. This is the first time an explicit child support order has been issued in their ongoing case.
But the battle continues. The Monster’s Ball actress recently asked for the court’s permission to move Nahla with her to Paris, where she and her fiancé, French actor Olivier Martinez, hope to reside and escape the American press.
“There are laws like (that) in France, which is the reason I want to go there,” Berry told Extra earlier this year. “Laws that protect children, protect right to privacy. All I want is for my family and myself to have a normal life. When I’m not at work, that’s very important to me.” She added, “It’s not one photographer hiding in the bushes, it’s 20, 30 very close to us, causing commotion,” she continued. “I’m not complaining about me. I’m an adult. I can handle it. But children should not be subject to that. It’s just wrong.”
Berry and Aubry split in April 2010 after five years of dating.
We must be doing something wrong with raising our children.. That's a ridiculous amount of money a month!!!!

Wow.. 20,000 a month to properly raise her??

It really isn't- not for celebrities (plus she can afford it) and he IS her father and deserves to be part of his daughter's life, so what's this BS about moving to Paris? It's like she used him as a sperm donor and now she wants him to disappear. She would have had less headaches if she had gone to a sperm bank lol!
That woman has the WORST luck with men. And she's getting married again? Seriously? WHY?
She's not my favorite celebrity, in case you couldn't tell lol...
Quoting 2012ArmyMom:Wait i'm confused! Why does she have to pay him. I thought she had custody of the child or at least for now.
Maybe they split it? Perhaps the little girl goes with dad while mom is working, movies can take a long time to shoot.

Exactly. It's not a lot for them. For us it's outrageous, but for them, not so much lol. Must be nice...
Maybe she has to pay child support because she is worth more or makes more than he does???
I really don't know...
Quoting morganrox:
I honestly was thinking this is not a lot compared to what she makes and what other celebrities pay in child support.
