Actress ANNE HECHE requested and was granted a temporary reprieve in paying her child and spousal support obligations to her ex, COLEY LAFFOON, and her son, HOMER.

In a declaration made to the court, Heche said that her business manager had informed her that she only had $34,840.93 in "all of her accounts" and that if she continued her support payments of $14,798 per month, she would "have a deficit of more than $6,000 by May 31, 2008." She also wrote that she has $364,000 of legal, accounting and other personal debt.

The court agreed to let Heche skip her July 1 payment to her ex and son, pending another hearing on July 2.

Heche's ABC show, "Men in Trees," on which she met current boyfriend JAMES TUPPER, was not picked up for a third season. The actress noted in the papers that since January 18, 2008, she'd "been unemployed and had no income from employment except for one very short term contract for a movie role for which [she] received a total of $65,000."
