Anne Heche Must Pay Ex-Husband $275,000

Anne Heche’s five-year marriage to Coleman Laffoon has officially ended, and a judge ruled that the actress must pay $275,000 to her ex-husband, as well as monthly child-support payments of $3,700 for their 6-year-old son Homer, the court documents inform.

Heche also has to provide 75 percent of the costs of sending Homer to private school. She was supposed to pay $15,000 per year until last month, when a judge excused her from paying Laffoon for the month of July, after she declared she was $364,000 in debt due to her divorce litigation and she only had $34,840.93 in all her accounts.

Heche said she was unemployed since January 18, 2008, and she had no income from unemployment except for a short term contract for a movie role, for which she received $65,000. That is why she said she could no longer pay the private school tuition for her son, the mortgage on her house on Canada, the rent on her Los Angeles home and her car expenses.

Heche, 39, met Laffoon, 34, while working on a documentary about Ellen DeGeneres, with whom Heche was involved in a romantic relationship for three years. Laffoon served as a cameraman on the set. The two married on Sept.1, 2001, but Laffoon filed for divorce on Feb. 2, citing irreconcilable differences. A nasty custody battle started, during which Heche accused her ex-husband of going to strip joints, watching porn and being addicted to online gaming, while he called her crazy. In court papers filed in 2007, the former couple also accused each other of employing nannies to look after Homer.
