Wednesday, November 11, 2026 - Olivier Martinez filed new court documents seeking increased child support from ex-wife Halle Berry.
This comes after Olivier dragged Halle Berry to court over
claims she abused their 13-year-old son, Maceo, and he asked the court to grant
a restraining order against the actress.
On Monday, November 9,Martinez filed paperwork in Los
Angeles Superior Court requesting a “modification” to their child support
order, which was entered when they finalized their divorce in August
2023 and “reflects the parties’ 50-50 physical custody of the minor child.”
According to Martinez, Berry previously agreed to pay him
$8,000 per month in child support as well as “4.3% of any income she receives
above $2,000,000, as and for additional child support for Maceo.”
However, he argued that since his temporary restraining
order against the actress was granted on Oct. 1, her “timeshare has
decreased to approximately 18%.”
The French actor insisted he “cannot calculate the guideline
support at this juncture as discovery is pending, and [Berry] has not filed a
current income and expense declaration with the court.”
He claimed he “does not have updated information regarding
[her] income. Based on publicly available information, he understands that
[she] has starred in ‘Crime 101,’ a film released in 2026, and is working on
two additional films, ‘Fleur’ (of which she is also a producer) and ‘Red
Card.'”
He added, “Because children are entitled to the same
standard of living attainable by the parents’ income, the ‘needs’ of a child of
extraordinarily wealthy parents will exceed the bare necessities of life. … It
is an abuse of discretion to deprive a child of their right to share in one
parent’s unusual wealth.”
Martinez, 60, went on to claim that his average monthly
expenses are close to $18,000, even though he allegedly earns less than $800
per month in residual payments.
Martinez, 60, previously accused Berry, also 60, of
physically abusing Maceo — including allegedly choking him during an
altercation in September — in a domestic violence restraining order request in
which he asked for sole physical and legal custody.
Berry has vehemently denied the allegations, and after a
nine-day courtroom showdown with her once-spouse, the judge lifted the
temporary restrictions imposed on her and tossed out Martinez’s
request for a domestic violence restraining order.
During that same Oct. 29 hearing, however, the judge decided
Martinez would retain the physical custody outlined when his temporary
restraining order was granted and that he and the Oscar winner would
continue to share legal custody of their son.
This custody arrangement will be discussed at a court
hearing next month.
Berry and Martinez were married from July 2013
until their separation two years later. They were declared legally
single in December 2016.
