Halle Berry's ex-husband wants more child support after obtaining primary physical custody of their son.

Olivier Martinez took the Monster's Ball actress to court last month after alleging his ex-wife had abused their 13-year-old son, and after it was decided the boy should live with him, the French actor has filed paperwork in Los Angeles Superior Court this week requesting a "modification" to the agreement they made when they finalised their divorce in August 2023, which "reflects the parties' 50-50 physical custody of the minor child."

Documents obtained by the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column showed Halle previously agreed to pay Olivier $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."

Olivier argued that after his temporary restraining order was granted last month, the 60-year-old actress' "timeshare has decreased to approximately 18%" and 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."

The 60-year-old actor insisted he "does not have updated information regarding [her] income. Based on publicly available information, [but] 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."

Olivier allegedly earns less than $800 per month in residual payments but claimed his average monthly expenses run close to $18,000.

Last month, the court awarded Olivier primary physical custody of Maceo, while Halle, who had previously shared joint custody of their son, was no longer allowed overnight visits. The court also ordered Halle and Maceo to attend counselling sessions to help repair their relationship. The temporary domestic violence restraining order against Halle was subsequently dissolved, and a request to make it permanent was denied.

In the wake of the ruling, Olivier expressed his hope that Maceo can have a "better relationship" with his mother in the future.

He told Extra: "I truly hope Maceo and his mother will be able to have a better relationship in the future... I don't want my son to hate his mom. I want him to love her. I want him to forgive her, and I want them to reconciliate in some sort at one point."

During the proceedings at Los Angeles Superior Court, Olivier claimed that Halle had choked Maceo during an altercation at her home on September 26 after an argument over virtual reality goggles.

Olivier accused his ex-wife of calling her son "such an idiot" for playing a game on the headset and alleged that there were other examples of abuse over the past 18 months.

Halle vehemently denied the allegations and stated that she was "blindsided" by her former husband's claims. Her legal team described the allegations as "entirely meritless and deliberately misleading".
