Halle Berry's Ex-Husband Olivier Martinez Asks Her To Pay $240K In Legal Fees Amid Custody Battle
Martinez says he lacks the means to cover the costs after a custody trial that left him owing his law firm $176,522.58.
- Olivier Martinez filed a request asking Los Angeles Superior Court to order Halle Berry to pay $240,000 for his legal fees incurred during their custody dispute over their 13-year-old son, Maceo.
- The legal conflict intensified last month after Martinez accused Berry of physically abusing their son, Maceo, allegations the actress has strongly denied throughout the ongoing custody proceedings.
- Citing Family Code, Martinez argues Berry has the financial means to cover both parties' costs, claiming he receives only $776 monthly in residuals and lacks funds for his counsel's 'extensive work completed.'
- Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Shelley Kaufman dissolved a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Berry on October 29, though Martinez retained primary physical custody of their son.
- Berry retains joint legal custody and tiebreaker authority, while the court denied her request to restore 50/50 arrangements. The judge will reportedly reconsider the custody matter next month.
