Halle Berry's ex Olivier Martinez demands more child support after dragging actress to court over abuse claims
Key Points:
- Olivier Martinez has filed court paperwork seeking an increase in child support payments from ex-wife Halle Berry, citing a reduction in his custody time with their son Maceo following a temporary restraining order against Berry.
- Martinez claims Berry agreed to pay $8,000 monthly plus a percentage of income above $2 million, but his current custody share has dropped to about 18%, impacting support calculations.
- He alleges he lacks updated financial information from Berry, noting her involvement in recent and upcoming film projects, and argues their son deserves to share in the wealth of his affluent parents.
- Martinez, who claims monthly expenses near $18,000 despite low residual income, previously accused Berry of physically abusing their son, allegations she denies; a judge dismissed his domestic violence restraining order request after a court hearing.
- The current custody arrangement maintains Martinez's physical custody and shared legal custody with Berry, with further court discussions scheduled for next month.
