Halle Berry has scored a win in her ongoing child support case with her daughter’s father.
The actress has had her child support lowered from $16,000 to $8,000 for her 13-year-old daughter, Nahla, that she shares with her ex, Gabriel Aubry. Sources close to the situation say the two re-negotiated the support after disagreeing on the matter for a while. Under their new agreement, Halle will pay Gabriel $85,000 in “retroactive” support. She will also continue to pay Nahla’s private school costs and health insurance. If at any point if Berry’s income exceeds 1.95 million in a year, she must also pay an additional $5,000 to Gabriel’s attorney’s fees.
To ensure that they both comply with the agreement, Gabriel and Berry will exchange annual income information.
The new agreement comes after the “X-Men” actress voiced her frustration with the child support she was ordered to pay. The 54-year-old took her grievances to Instagram, which sparked a wave of debate regarding women’s roles in child support.
“I feel if a woman or man is having to pay support that is way more than the reasonable needs to help SUPPORT the child, I think that is wrong!” Berry wrote.
