When I originally read the financial details of Anne Heche’s divorce, I thought, “Wow, it is so expensive to be hetero.  She totally should have stuck with Ellen.”  Then I remembered the gay tax and realized that the most economically sane thing I could do is, like, have a fatal heart attack.

In a divorce that lasted more than half the length of the marriage, Anne Heche has been ordered to pay $515,000 in cash, $3,700 a month in child support and fifty percent of community property to her ex, Coley Laffoon.

The good news is that she gets 50-50 custody of her son and gets to keep her Vancouver home.  She won’t be able to afford furnishings, but she can hold onto her manse.

  • It is rather sad, is it not, that parents focus so completely on their kids grades that they neglect to teach them the most important skills in life; How to pick a husband/wife, and maintain a good relationship (and how to select good friends). Lets face it; You can get ‘C’s in school and still have a great career. Marry the wrong person, and God forbid, have kids with them, and it can pretty much ruin your life.

  • Wendie – there is no such thing as a “gay tax.” I think you do a disservice to your readers who aren’t aware of the law by labeling the death tax as a “gay tax.” Do some research on it…or read my post on the original piece you wrote.

    And California is a community property state…whatever a spouse earns during the tenure of the marriage is subject to “just and right” division upon the dissolution of the marriage unless there was a prenuptial agmt – so homeboy got what he deserved ;)

  • “the good part is that she gets 50/50 custody”? She has to give him over half a million dollars and she still has to babysit? Anne got fucked big time.. Oh wait! Women have been doing that to men forever. You shoulda stuck to vaginas, Anne.
