Halle Berry hit with temporary restraining order as Ex seeks sole custody

on October 05, 2026

Olivier Martinez, Halle Berry's ex-husband, has secured a major legal victory amid their ongoing custody dispute. Martinez was granted primary physical custody of his and Halle Berry's 13-year-old son, Maceo, while a judge also ruled that Berry can no longer have overnight visits with him."

A representative for Berry stated that the actress still shares the joint legal custody of Maceo and has the final say if she and Martinez cannot agree on a decision regarding their child. The judge also rejected Martinez's request for a domestic violence restraining order that would have covered both him and their son.

"We are extremely pleased that the Court has dissolved the TRO," Marina Beck, Berry's attorney, told Page Six. "As we move forward, Halle is determined to continue to focus on the well-being and best interests of her family."

Earlier this month, Martinez, 60, secured a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Berry after alleging in court documents that she had "physically abus[ed]" their 13-year-old son, Maceo, "by jumping on him and choking him" during an incident on September 26. Berry has denied the allegations.

The latest development follows a courtroom clash between attorneys for Berry and Martinez two days earlier, as their custody dispute over their son, Maceo, continued.

During the hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court, Martinez's attorney, Patrick Baghdaserians, asked Judge Shelley Kaufman to reopen the evidence so he could question Berry, 60, about an Instagram post she shared on Monday.

Baghdaserians reportedly accused Berry of breaching the terms of a temporary domestic violence restraining order.

Berry's attorney, Marina Beck, pushed back against the request, describing the attempt to question her client as a "last-minute grasp at straws" and "nothing more than a witch hunt."

The dispute centered on a repost Berry shared to her Instagram Stories on Monday. The post has since disappeared. And her account was reportedly hacked.
