A judge in the child support case for Sherri Shepherd and her ex-husband Lamar Sally has ruled that the actress and comedienne has to cough up some coins.

TMZ reports that the former The View co-host will have to pay $4,100 in financial support each month.

Shepherd and Sally welcomed a son, Lamar Jr., via surrogate in August while the couple split in May 2014.

Terms go the settlement also include that Shepherd will have to pay an extra $500 a month once “LJ” turns 13 for a stipend of $4,600.

Sheperd and Sally have been in a legal battle since 2014 as Sherri has fought to prevent her name from being printed on the birth certificate.
