HALLE Berry has asked a judge to slash her child support payments to ex Gabriel Aubry, claiming he has been living entirely off the cash and she’s had enough.

TMZ is reporting that Berry, 47, has filed legal documents asking the judge in their custody case to reduce her monthly child support obligation from $US16,000 ($18,000) a month to just over $US3,000 a month.

Berry has reportedly claimed that former model Aubry, 38, has stopped working, happy to live off of the payments, and says that’s an abuse of the system.

Berry noted that Aubry is capable of working, and by reducing the payments it will allow the couple’s six-year-old daughter Nahla to live a comfortable life, supplemented by his income.

The former couple has joint custody of Nahla, but have had a famously acrimonious relationship since their split.

According to TMZ, Aubry’s rep has yet to comment.
