Anne Heche afford her child support

Following the cancellation of Men in Trees, actress Anne Heche
has told the judge in her custody case with ex-husband Coley Laffoon that she can no longer afford to pay the nearly $15,000-a-month in child and spousal support he is currently receiving.

"I am continuing to look for work, but I have no offers pending and the impending strike by the Screen Actors Guild reduces my prospects for work even further," Heche, 38, writes in court papers.

The judge has given her a month break and ordered her to provide updated income and expense information.

In a court declaration, Heche revealed that she can no longer afford to pay the $14,798 in monthly support, the private school tuition for their 6-year-old son Homer, the mortgage on her house in Canada where Men In Trees was filmed, rent on her Los Angeles home and other monthly expenses.

"Since January 18, 2008, I have been unemployed and had no income from employment except for one very short-term contract for a movie role for which I received a total of $65,000, approximately the amount I received for one episode of Men In Trees", she writes.

She adds: "I do receive some residuals from previous acting work. However, the amounts are nominal and are offset by recurring business expenses that must be paid whether or not I am working."
