Halle Berry is going to be real salty with her baby daddy Gabriel Aubry, because a judge has just ordered the actress to dish out nearly a quarter of a million dollars a year in child support.

Lawyers for Halle and Gabriel were in court Monday, and sources connected with Gabriel tell TMZ ... the family law judge ordered Halle to pay Nahla's daddy $20,000 a month.

Although Nahla is 4, there was never a child support order issued by a judge, but now one is in place.

We're told both sides are still battling in court over whether Halle can take Nahla and move to Paris.
