Halle Berry Fights for Sole Legal Custody of Son
Accuses Ex-Husband of Turning Child Against Her
Claims Turbulent Behavior Harms 10-Year-Old

Halle Berry has reached a critical point in her ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Olivier Martinez, as she claims their 10-year-old son Maceo is suffering significantly due to their conflict. Berry is now seeking sole legal custody, citing Martinez’s alleged detrimental behavior as the primary reason.

According to recent legal documents, Berry accuses Martinez of prioritizing their son’s soccer career over his education, resulting in the child falling behind in school. She alleges that Martinez has refused to provide Maceo with a tutor, citing concerns that it would interfere with soccer practice.

Berry claims that when Maceo spends extended periods with Martinez, he returns to her angry and combative. She alleges that Martinez shares their conflicts with Maceo, putting his own spin on the situation, which has taken a toll on the child.

While Berry acknowledges she is not perfect, she asserts that she has been an exemplary parent. In contrast, she claims Martinez has been neglectful of his parenting responsibilities.

The couple currently shares joint physical and legal custody, but Berry is now seeking sole legal custody, arguing that it is the only way to ensure Maceo receives the necessary support and guidance. She wants the authority to make decisions regarding her son’s education and therapy.

This custody battle has been ongoing for years, with the couple separating in 2015 after two years of marriage. Although their divorce was finalized last August, their disputes have continued, primarily centered around child-rearing.

Berry claims she has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars attempting to resolve their conflicts privately, but has now been forced to take legal action, filing documents with the court to address the ongoing conflict and seek a resolution from the family law judge.
