Restraining Order Against Halle Berry Extended in Custody Battle

Key Points:

• Halle Berry is engaged in a bitter custody battle with ex-husband Olivier Martinez over their 13-year-old son, with a judge extending Martinez's temporary restraining order against Berry after contentious hearings.
• Martinez was questioned about a sworn statement from September 2024 in which he declared no history of domestic violence with Berry, despite now accusing her of abuse; he acknowledged signing the statement under penalty of perjury.
• Martinez's attorney argued the declaration pertained to a financial dispute, not domestic violence, and noted no prior domestic violence conviction or restraining order existed at that time.
• The legal proceedings have included testimony from Berry, Martinez, their son Maceo (whose testimony remains sealed), and Berry's fiancé Van Hunt, with Berry seeking to restore a 50-50 custody arrangement and gain sole legal custody.
• Berry's 18-year-old daughter Nahla Aubry is expected to testify virtually, having previously defended Berry by stating she never witnessed any physical abuse toward Maceo.
