Halle Berry Seeks Sole Legal Custody of Her and Olivier Martinez’s Son

The 58-year-old additionally cites specific instances of Martinez’s stalling decisions regarding their child’s educational needs—as recommended by his teachers—and her ex-husband’s lack of communication when it comes to their son’s soccer scheduling. 

E! News has reached out to reps for Berry and Martinez regarding the filing but has not yet heard back. 

Berry’s filing comes nearly a year after the couple finalized their divorce, almost 10 years after their 2015 separation. In the original agreement, Berry and Martinez agreed to split legal and physical custody of their son. 

Meanwhile, Berry was ordered to pay for the 10-year-old’s tuition, school uniforms, and school supplies as long as he is in private school, and all extracurriculars including soccer, according to documents viewed by E! News at the time. 

The John Wick actress was also ordered to pay $8,000 per month to Martinez, as well as 4.3 percent of any income she receives over $2,000,000. 

Prior to the former couple’s custody agreement, Berry has referred to child support laws as “outdated.”

“I understand some parents (man or woman) may need help,” she wrote on Instagram in 2021. “But I also feel in these modern times both men and women have the responsibility to financially take care of their children and work hard and make every effort to do so.”
