Halle Berry is petitioning the court to restore her original custody agreement for Maceo, her 12-year-old son with ex-husband Olivier Martinez.
According to PEOPLE, Berry is asking the court to restore 50/50 custody with her ex. Also, she wants to reinstate her tie-breaking authority and force Martinez to attend court-ordered therapy.
Per the filing, Berry alleged, “that Martinez’s anger towards her influences her own disagreements with their son.”
“The fourth concern is Olivier’s continued attempts to align Maceo with him and against me in many areas of our child’s life,” she wrote. Berry claims it “causes Maceo to be angry with me about private issues relating to Maceo which Olivier and I were discussing at the time.”
“When Maceo would come home from his custodial time with Olivier, he would be angry and combative. It took Maceo 2-3 days to acclimate to being at home, and when he would go back to Olivier, the cycle would start all over again,” she alleged in the documents. “I also perceived Maceo to repeat disputes that Olivier and I discuss in private and take Olivier’s side/position in that dispute.”
“If the dispute related to a decision regarding Maceo (for example, about soccer, school, or therapy), Maceo knew about it before Olivier and I reached a decision. With respect to a particular issue and would tell me what he and Olivier are going to do (without my input) completely disregarding my authority as his mother,” continued Berry.
HALLE BERRY’S ISSUES WITH HER EX
On Oct. 1, reports revealed that Martinez filed a restraining order against Berry. He alleged that she physically abused their son by jumping on him and choking him.
Martinez has requested sole custody of Maceo and a no-contact order from Berry for both himself and their son.
His request for a temporary restraining order was granted, covering both himself and Maceo.
