Halle Berry was just ordered to pay ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry a whopping $20,000 a month for their daughter Nahla Aubry by a family court judge. Luckily for the Monster's Ball actress, the very public and nasty battle over custody of their daughter looks like it's almost at an end.

Berry, who has also been struggling with keeping her daughter safe from paparazzi and strangers, knows the laws are much more strict in France regarding media involvement.

Rosanne Barr had to drop $50 million when she divorced Tom Arnold, and a slew of other women had to cut big checks to their exes.
