Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez custody and abuse dispute

Overview

Actress Halle Berry remains involved in a legal dispute with her former husband, Olivier Martinez, concerning the custody of their son, Maceo. Martinez has sought sole legal custody and filed a restraining order, alleging that Berry physically assaulted their son during a conflict in Los Angeles. Berry has denied these claims, describing them as “unfounded and intentionally misleading.”

During recent hearings at the Los Angeles Superior Court, the legal battle expanded to include allegations of domestic violence. Martinez testified that Berry had abused him during their relationship, citing incidents dating back a decade. However, Berry’s legal team challenged this testimony by presenting a 2024 sworn statement in which Martinez had denied any history of domestic violence between the couple. Martinez has since acknowledged that the statement was true at the time it was signed, though his counsel argued the declaration was related to a financial request rather than custody matters.

The legal proceedings have entered a second week at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse. A judge has extended a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Berry through the weekend, which currently grants Martinez primary custody of their 13-year-old son.

Testimony has been conducted largely behind closed doors, including statements from Berry’s fiancé, Van Hunt. Future hearings are expected to continue, with Berry’s daughter, Nahla Aubry, scheduled to testify virtually.
