Halle Berry Ordered to Pay $16K a Month to Ex for Child Support

Actress Halle Berry has been ordered to pay $16,000 a month in child support to former boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.

A Los Angeles court ordered the payments, along with $115,000 in retroactive support, to support their 6-year-old daughter Nahla until she turns 19 or graduates from high school, according to People.

Berry and Aubry, a model, split up in 2010 and share joint custody of the girl.

Berry also must pay $300,000 for Aubry's legal fees and cover the girl’s private school tuition as well as 50 percent of any medical expenses she may incur, according to NBC New York.

Berry and Aubry have been battling over their daughter since 2012 when a judge denied Berry’s request to move to France with Nahla and her current husband, Olivier Martinez. The decision came after a physical altercation between Aubry and Martinez, and restraining orders obtained by both sides.

Berry and Martinez have a son, Maceo, who was born in October.

Twitter users shared mixed reactions.

I think the way child support works is stupid. Why does Halle Berry need to pay $16k a month for her daughter whom she has 50/50 custody of?
