Halle Berry Loses Primary Custody of Son Maceo to Olivier Martinez

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are locked in a bitter custody battle over their 13-year-old son, Maceo. The conflict erupted earlier this month after Martinez accused Berry of physically abusing their child during a September 26 incident at her home.

Martinez alleged that Berry jumped on Maceo and choked him, claiming the boy begged him to pick him up afterward. Berry has denied all allegations of physical abuse.

“We are extremely pleased that the Court has dissolved the TRO.”

A judge granted Martinez primary physical custody and issued a temporary restraining order against Berry for both himself and his son. Berry lost overnight visits with Maceo but retains joint legal custody and the tiebreaker if the parents cannot agree.

The judge also rejected Martinez's request for a domestic violence restraining order. Berry's attorney called the dissolution of that order a huge win for the actress.

Martinez's lawyer said Berry's attorneys sought to restore their previous 50/50 custody arrangement, but the judge denied the request. The court will reportedly reconsider the custody matter next month.

Berry was photographed smiling as she left the courthouse with her fiance, Van Hunt. No finding has established that Berry physically abused her son.
