Halle Berry is in an ongoing custody battle with her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez. She believes their 10-year-old son is struggling because of it, and she now wants sole legal custody.
In new legal documents obtained by TMZ, Halle says Olivier’s
“turbulent and detrimental behavior”
is affecting their son Maceo. She details that the boy is facing significant behavior and learning issues that Olivier is not willing to deal with.
Halle says Olivier has been a major hurdle in getting Maceo the help he needs, focusing more on soccer than on school, which has caused Maceo to fall behind. She claims Olivier won’t hire a tutor because it would clash with soccer practice. Halle also says that when Olivier has Maceo for a long time, he returns to her feeling angry and upset.
She claims Olivier talks to Maceo about their disagreements on parenting, sharing his side of things, and this has affected Maceo negatively. Halle admits she’s not perfect, but prides herself on being an exemplary parent. She feels that Olivier has not been.
Right now, they share joint physical and legal custody, but Halle is asking the judge for full legal custody. She thinks this is the only way to help Maceo get back on track. She wants to have the power to make decisions about his education and therapy. This custody battle has been going on for years. Halle and Olivier separated in 2015 after being married for 2 years, but their divorce wasn’t finalized until last August. Most of their disagreements have been about how to raise their child.
