Despite her successful career as a thespian and her newfound role as our favorite fitness guru on Instagram, there’s one skill Halle Berry doesn’t quite master and, according to a recent post on Instagram, it’s the art of co-parenting.

After breaking up with her five-year-old ex-partner Gabriel Aubry, the actress was embroiled in a very public, ongoing custody battle that was no walk in the park for Halle. After the fans reported on Instagram about the ongoing battle with Gabriel over their daughter Nahla, they asked themselves: Why does Halle Berry pay child support and why is the rate so high?

Why does Halle Berry pay child benefit?

In a series of comments, Halle Berry shared her views on child support, who appear to have been shadows for her ex-boyfriend and father of their two children, Gabriel. In 2014, the Los Angeles Supreme Court ruled that Halle would pay her $ 16,000 a month, plus a backdated maintenance payment of $ 115,000 and attorney fees – a decision made based in part on the former couple’s salaries.

Halle and Gabriel split three years before the court order and, according to Halle, he has benefited from their celebrities ever since. She wrote on Instagram: “I’m not going to talk about alimony because I’ve never asked for it or ever paid for it. As for child support, I feel like I can talk about how I paid it.” I believe if a woman or a man has to pay child support that is far more than is necessary to support the child, I think that is wrong. “

Halle went on to empathize with men and women who need help in difficult times but refuse to free their parents from their financial responsibilities. Halle stated, “I understand that some parents (man or woman) may need help, but I also feel that in these modern times both men and women have a tough responsibility to financially look after their children work and make every effort to do so. “

“The way many laws are passed allows people to use children to get money for a lifestyle that they not only did not deserve, but that goes well beyond the child’s reasonable needs, and that is ‘THE FALSE’. and where I see the abuse. The laws are out of date and no longer reflect the modern world. This is just my opinion, I clearly don’t own the truth. I can say I live it every day and I do can tell you it’s that tough, “concluded Halle.

According to court records, the reason Halle plays child support (and why it’s so high) is due to their income compared to Gabriels. Halle’s reported gross income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was nearly $ 4.7 million. Gabriel for the twelve months ended October 31, 2012 totaled $ 192,921.
