In the filing obtained by the Daily Mail, Halle's payments "shall not exceed $109,650 per year" which is the difference between the original annual figures.
"Halle shall continue to pay Gabriel 4.3 percent of any income she receives above $1.95 million, as and for additional child support for Nahla, however, any additional payments of child support pursuant to this Paragraph shall not exceed $109,650 per year, which is the difference between 4.3 percent of $1.95 million and $4.5 million," the filing states.

The new agreement will remain in force until Nahla graduates from high school or until she turns 19 if she's still in school which means the long-running custody battle could finally be coming to an end.
Halle and Gabriel began dating in 2005 after her divorce from her second husband Eric Benet. The couple then split five years later.

The pair also insisted that they would "remain friends and committed parents," but legal proceeding began after Halle tried to relocate to France with Nahla to live with her now ex-husband Olivier Martinez.
