The ugly custody battle between Halle Berry and her ex-husband Olivier Martinez is reaching a boiling point. Ahead of their highly anticipated court showdown, the Oscar-winning actress is fighting back hard.
According to explosive new court documents obtained by Page Six, Halle is now seeking sole legal custody of their 13-year-old son, Maceo. She is accusing Olivier of interfering with their son’s educational and therapeutic needs, and ultimately causing Maceo’s recent behavioral issues at school.
This dramatic filing comes just weeks after Olivier accused Halle of physical abuse, which led to a temporary restraining order. Fans were shocked when Halle’s 18-year-old daughter, Nahla, fiercely spoke out to defend her mother against the shocking allegations.
Now, Halle is claiming that Maceo’s behavior at school has “significantly escalated” since that October 1 restraining order took effect. School officials reportedly noted that the teen has been disregarding rules, throwing objects, and even harassing a younger student.
Halle argues that Olivier is undermining her parenting authority and drawing their son into their toxic conflict. To fix the situation, she is asking the judge for final decision-making power over Maceo’s medical and educational needs. She also wants to limit communication with Olivier to just one non-emergency message per day through a strict co-parenting app!
With declarations from Halle’s fiancé Van Hunt and her daughter Nahla supporting her case, this upcoming court hearing is going to be intense.
