Berry Wins Custody Battle, Restraining Order Denied
29 Oct
Summary
- Judge denied Olivier Martinez's request for a domestic violence restraining order against Berry.
- Olivier Martinez was awarded primary physical custody of their son, Maceo.
- Halle Berry is no longer permitted overnight visits with Maceo.
In a recent court ruling, Halle Berry has won a significant battle against ex-husband Olivier Martinez regarding their 13-year-old son, Maceo. A judge dismissed Martinez's request for a domestic violence restraining order against Berry, lifting temporary restrictions previously placed on her. Berry's legal team expressed satisfaction with this outcome, emphasizing their continued focus on the child's well-being.
Despite this victory, the court also granted Martinez primary physical custody of Maceo, ending the parents' previous joint custody arrangement. The judge rejected Berry's request to restore a 50/50 split and ruled that Berry will no longer be allowed overnight visits with their son.
Martinez had accused Berry of physical and emotional abuse toward Maceo, including allegations of choking. These claims were part of his legal bid for sole custody. Berry, however, has also leveled accusations against Martinez, citing his alleged jealousy and aggression during their marriage, which concluded with their divorce finalized in 2023 after an eight-year legal process.
