HECHE GETS FINANCIAL BREAK OVER CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS

LATEST: Actress ANNE HECHE has won her battle to reduce child support payments to her ex-husband.
The former Ally MCBeal star pleaded poverty in court last month (May08), blaming the cancellation of TV series Men In Trees for her inability to pay child support.
The star was granted a reprieve in the monthly payments of $14,978 (GBP7,489) to her ex-husband Coley Laffoon for their six-year-old son Homer, and now the full extent of her financial win has been decided.
According to an order signed on Friday (06Jun08) and obtained by TMZ.com, the actress' monthly payments have dropped from almost $15,000 (GBP7,500) to a more manageable $3,700 (GBP1,850).
Heche will no longer have to pay for all her son's private school fees either - the new order declares she'll share the burden with her ex-husband Coley Laffoon.
The actress has also been ordered to pay Laffoon a lump sum divorce settlement of $275,000 (GBP137,500).
