Halle Berry reportedly seeking to reduce child-support payments to ex

Halle Berry has reportedly made a move aimed at decreasing her child-support payments to ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, the father of her daughter Nahla, and motivating him to get a job.

The “X-Men: Days of Future Past” actress is claiming that her ex has been living entirely off her $16,000-a-month child-support payments and has asked a judge to reduce her obligation to just over $3,000 a month, according to TMZ, which cited confidential court documents.

The Oscar winner is alleging that the French model has stopped working, despite being capable of getting a job, and is abusing the system by living off the payments meant to support their 6-year-old daughter. The parents have joint custody.

Aubry, 39, and Berry, 48, dated for two years before Nahla was born in 2008. They broke up in 2010 and have been embroiled in a custody dispute since then. In 2012, a judge blocked Berry from moving Nahla to France with her and Olivier Martinez, who would become her third husband in July 2013. (Berry and Martinez welcomed their first child together, son Maceo, in October 2013.)

The former couple reached a settlement in May that outlined the nearly $200,000 a year the “Extant” star would pay in child support, in addition to paying for Nahla’s tuition until she turns 19 or graduates from high school. She and Aubry must split her healthcare expenses.

Berry’s attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I’d consider sitting pretty for $16,000 a month. Follow me on Twitter @NardineSaad.
