Halle Berry's ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, is demanding more child support from the Oscar-winning actress as their ongoing custody battle over their 13-year-old son, Maceo, takes another turn.

According to court documents filed Monday (November 9) and obtained by Page Six, Martinez is asking a Los Angeles judge to increase the $8,000 monthly payments Berry already makes under their 2023 divorce settlement.

The filing comes just weeks after Martinez accused Berry of physically abusing their son, allegations the actress has strongly denied. Although a judge dismissed his request for a domestic violence restraining order, Martinez was allowed to retain primary physical custody under a temporary arrangement.

Under the former couple's existing agreement, Berry pays Martinez $8,000 per month in child support, along with an additional 4.3% of her annual income exceeding $2 million.

However, Martinez argues that the arrangement no longer reflects their parenting responsibilities.

Their original agreement was based on a 50/50 custody split, but the French actor claims Berry's parenting time has since dropped to approximately 18%, leaving him responsible for the remaining 82%.

Martinez believes the significant change in custody warrants higher payments, particularly given the actress's earning potential.

He also claims his monthly expenses total nearly $18,000 despite earning less than $800 in residual payments.

According to the filing, Martinez pointed to Berry's recent film Crime 101 and upcoming projects Fleur and Red Card as evidence of her continued work in Hollywood.

The actor has not specified exactly how much additional child support he wants, arguing that updated financial disclosures from Berry are necessary before an appropriate amount can be calculated.

The latest financial dispute follows a heated legal battle that began escalating in October after Martinez accused Berry of physically abusing their son.

Martinez alleged that the actress choked Maceo during a September altercation, prompting him to seek a domestic violence restraining order and changes to their custody arrangement.

Berry firmly denied the accusations.

"I have never physically, emotionally or otherwise abused Maceo," the actress stated in court documents. "I am a victim of domestic violence and I help victims of domestic violence. I am not a perpetrator of violence. I would never hurt our child."

Following a nine-day court hearing, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Shelley Kaufman dissolved the temporary restraining order on October 29 and denied Martinez's request for a longer-term domestic violence restraining order.

However, the judge maintained the modified custody arrangement, allowing Martinez to retain primary physical custody while both parents continue sharing legal custody.

The allegations have not resulted in a court finding that Berry physically abused her son.

In addition to seeking increased child support, Martinez recently requested that Berry pay $240,000 toward his legal expenses.

The actor reportedly argued that he lacks the financial resources to cover the mounting costs of their custody dispute.

Berry and Martinez married in 2013 before announcing their separation in 2015. Their divorce was finalized in August 2023 following years of legal proceedings.

Despite reaching an agreement at the time, the former couple has continued to clash over parenting arrangements and financial responsibilities.

The former couple's custody battle is far from over.

A judge has ordered their current parenting arrangement to remain in place through December 17, when the court is expected to revisit the custody situation.

Meanwhile, Martinez's latest child support request remains pending, with no confirmed ruling on whether Berry will be required to increase her payments.
