Halle Berry seeks sole custody of son Maceo, claims ex Olivier Martinez refuses to co-parent

Halle Berry is seeking sole custody of her son with ex Olivier Martinez. Hollywood actress Halle Berry is seeking sole custody of her son Maceo claiming that the boy's father Oliver Martinez, "refuses to co-parent or communicate in a child-centered way."

A few weeks earlier, the actress had alleged that her ex-husband failed to continue seeing a co-parent coach and Berry eventually filed a request for sole legal custody of their 10-year-old son on August 16.

In a report filed by PEOPLE, Berry has requested the court for custody, “or in the alternative, tie-breaking authority to make all decisions” about her son's education, health, and therapy needs.

The documents, filed in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County, arrive a year after the former couple finalised their divorce, nearly eight years after their 2015 split.

During the time of divorce, they agreed to share joint legal custody of their son, with Berry paying Martinez $8,000 a month in child support and an additional "4.3% of any income she receives above $2,000,000."

In the latest filing, Berry claims she's made an effort to address her son's "educational challenges" and additional behavioural concerns as she "fought for tutoring, an educational assessment, and finding an environment that was suitable to Maceo’s needs."

According to the court papers, Berry has alleged that Martinez has been "oppositional, unmoving and withheld his consent for years."

"Because of Respondent’s opposition to any interventions whatsoever for years and because of Respondent’s prioritizing soccer activities over Maceo’s educational and psychological well-being, Maceo’s educational and behavioral challenges worsened, and he continued to fall further behind in school," the document alleges.

Berry also claims that Maceo would behave in a certain way towards her after staying with his father for a longer period. Berry alleged that her son would "repeat disputes" that the former couple had in private. She alleges that Martinez claimed the boy was "old enough to make his own decisions."
