Anne Heche Is Broke
The star has struggled after the cancellation of "Men in Trees."
Men in Trees star and former girlfriend of Ellen DeGeneres, Anne Heche, is admittedly broke, and cannot make her monthly child support payments.
Heche blamed the recent cancellation of Trees as the reason for her inability to pay $14,978 to her ex-husband Coley Laffoon in support for their son, Homer. Luckily for Heche, a judge ruled that it was okay for her to miss a payment, but also ordered up to date financial records and expense reports.
The actress also claims that, in addition to problems with child support, she can no longer make the mortgage payments on her house in Canada (where Men in Trees was filmed), Homer's school fees, the rent on her California home and car expenses.
From the court papers, Heche said: "I am continuing to look for work, but I have no offers pending and the impending strike of the Screen Actors Guild reduces my prospects for work even further. 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."
