Berry's Son Maceo to Testify in Custody War
15 Oct
Summary
- Maceo, 13, will testify in his parents' custody battle.
- Testimony limited to restraining order request only.
- Halle Berry denies choking her son, Maceo.
Halle Berry's son, Maceo, will be allowed to testify in the custody dispute with ex-partner Olivier Martinez. The 13-year-old's testimony will focus solely on Martinez's request for a domestic violence restraining order. Martinez alleges Berry choked Maceo during an argument, but Berry vehemently denies these claims.
Berry has expressed worries that Martinez has been coaching Maceo, potentially influencing his account of events. She argues Maceo might present testimony based on developed perceptions rather than factual accuracy. Berry also stated concerns about Martinez involving their son in adult disputes, leading Maceo to view her negatively and him positively.
The court's decision to permit Maceo's testimony sides with Martinez for now, allowing the child's voice to be heard in the ongoing legal proceedings. The case continues as the parents navigate their custody and restraining order requests.
