Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez, who officially finalized their divorce after a long legal battle, have come to an agreement regarding the custody and child support arrangements for their 9-year-old son, Maceo. The former couple, who split in 2016 after three years of marriage, had been dealing with unresolved issues regarding custody and child support, which caused the case to drag on for several years.
However, in August 2023, legal documents were filed in L.A. County Superior Court, effectively resolving these remaining issues. According to the court documents, Halle and Olivier have agreed to joint legal and physical custody of Maceo. This means that both parents will have equal decision-making power regarding their son’s upbringing, and they will share parenting time.
As part of the custody agreement, Maceo will attend individual and family counseling to ensure his emotional well-being. Halle and her daughter Nahla, from her previous relationship with Gabriel Aubry, will be allowed to participate in the family counseling sessions. However, Halle’s current boyfriend, Van Hunt, will not be involved in these sessions.
In terms of the custody schedule, Halle will have custody of Maceo from Monday to Wednesday, while Olivier will have him from Wednesday to Friday. The schedule may vary due to school closures. On weekends, the parents will alternate custody of Maceo, ensuring that both Halle and Olivier have quality time with their son.
In addition to the custody arrangement, Halle is also responsible for paying child support to Olivier. She will provide $8,000 per month, and an additional 4.3 percent of all income she receives above $2 million. This financial support will contribute to Maceo’s well-being and cover his expenses.
Furthermore, Halle will bear the costs of Maceo’s private school tuition, extracurricular activities, including soccer, and health insurance, including medical and dental coverage. She will also be responsible for any uninsured expenses related to Maceo’s health.
This settlement brings an end to Halle and Olivier’s lengthy divorce proceedings and provides a clear arrangement for their co-parenting responsibilities. Despite the challenges they faced, both parties have prioritized the well-being of their child and reached an agreement that serves the best interests of Maceo. Halle’s successful acting career ensures that she will be able to meet the financial obligations outlined in the custody and child support agreement.
Overall, this resolution marks a significant milestone for Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez as they begin a new chapter in their lives as co-parents, with the best interests of their child at heart. It is a testament to their commitment to providing a stable and nurturing environment for their son, despite the challenges they faced during their divorce.
