Halle Berry Accused of Abusing Son as Olivier Martinez Seeks Sole Custody

The judge limited Berry’s contact with their son and denied a request to monitor her sobriety, citing insufficient information.

  • On Thursday, October 1, 2026, actor Olivier Martinez filed for a temporary restraining order against ex-wife Halle Berry, alleging she physically abused their 12-year-old son, Maceo, during a September 26 incident.
  • Martinez and Berry finalized their divorce in August 2023 after eight years, agreeing to joint custody of Maceo, yet persistent legal disputes over co-parenting and therapeutic needs have defined their relationship since.
  • Defending the actress, attorney Marina Beck dismissed the allegations as "entirely meritless and deliberately misleading," citing Martinez's documented history of violating court orders and interfering with therapeutic interventions for Maceo.
  • A judge granted the restraining order, limiting Berry to visitation two days a week and every other weekend, while denying requests for sobriety monitoring pending an October 16 hearing.
  • Both parents must participate in confidential mediation to address custody disagreements, as the legal conflict continues escalating over Maceo's education and therapeutic needs through the October 16 hearing.
