Halle Berry Seeks Sole Custody of Son Amid Custody Battle with Olivier Martinez

Halle Berry has filed for sole custody of her 10-year-old son, Maceo, citing ongoing issues with her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez. In court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Berry accuses Martinez of violating court orders and making unilateral decisions that compromise their son's best interests. She acknowledges her own imperfections but emphasizes her commitment to prioritizing Maceo's welfare, claiming that Martinez's behavior has negatively affected their child's educational and emotional development. Berry's filing highlights concerns over Martinez's alleged refusal to allow necessary educational and therapeutic interventions for Maceo, which she argues has led to worsening behavioral issues and academic struggles. The documents also claim that Martinez has discussed the custody battle in front of Maceo, violating their divorce settlement's stipulations against such discussions. Berry asserts that these actions have harmed both Maceo's well-being and her relationship with him. The couple, who finalized their divorce last year after an extensive legal battle, currently share joint custody of Maceo. Berry pays $8,000 monthly in child support and covers various expenses, while Martinez is required to seek employment to contribute to their son's needs. Despite a recent co-parenting agreement aimed at improving their collaboration, Martinez's decision to skip summer sessions has prompted Berry to seek judicial intervention. As the custody dispute continues, Berry describes her parenting as "exemplary," contrasting it with what she perceives as Martinez's inadequate involvement in their son's education and emotional health.
