5 Nov
Summary
- Olivier Martinez requested $240,000 for legal fees from Halle Berry.
- Martinez claims only $776.34 monthly income from residuals.
- Halle Berry's ex was granted primary physical custody of their son.
Olivier Martinez has petitioned the court for Halle Berry to cover $240,000 of his legal expenses related to their contentious custody dispute. In legal documents, Martinez asserted a significant financial strain, reporting an average monthly income of only $776.34 from residuals.
He indicated an outstanding balance of $176,522.58 in legal fees and requested an additional $63,477.42 for anticipated future legal costs. Martinez also declared monthly expenses of $17,555.99, with $43,206.22 held in various accounts.
This development follows recent court proceedings where a temporary restraining order was dissolved. However, the judge maintained a temporary custody arrangement, granting Martinez primary physical custody of their 13-year-old son, Maceo. Allegations of choking, made by Martinez against Berry, were denied by Berry, and Maceo provided testimony in a closed session.
