Men in Trees Actress Exempt from Child/Spousal Support

After the cancellation of Men in Trees, currently unemployed Anne Heche says she is no longer able to afford her child and spousal support payment of nearly $1,500 a month.

In court papers, Heche writes, "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," as reported by people.com.

In addition to the monthly child and spousal support, Heche also finances her son to attend private school, her mortgage payment for her house in Canada where Men in Trees was filmed, and a home she rents in Los Angeles.

According to efluxmedia.com, a judge exempted Heche from her next month's spousal payment to ex-husband Coley Laffoon, 34. However, Superior Court Judge Gail Ruderman Feuer requested that the actress maintain an updated information report with the court in regards to her income and expenses.
