Olivier Martinez asks to modify the child support Halle Berry pays for their 13-year-old son, Maceo. In court documents obtained by Us Weekly, he claims Berry’s time with their son has decreased to approximately 18 percent.

Martinez, 60, says their earlier support agreement was based on equal parenting time. His request concerns that arrangement and the financial standard he argues their son should receive.

Us Weekly’s court report describes documents obtained Tuesday, November 10. The outlet sought additional comment from Berry and Martinez’s attorney.

Olivier Martinez Asks For A Child Support Modification

Martinez claims Berry previously agreed to pay $8,000 per month when custody was 50-50. He also cites an agreement for additional support based on her income.

According to his filing, that provision requires “4.3 percent of any income she receives above $2,000,000.” He describes that amount as additional child support for Maceo.

Martinez says he cannot yet calculate guideline support because discovery remains pending. He also claims Berry has not filed a current income and expense declaration.

He puts his average monthly expenses close to $18,000. Those figures and the parenting-time claim come from his court submission, rather than a new support ruling.

Filing Argues For A Comparable Standard Of Living

Martinez and his attorney argue that support for a child of wealthy parents should exceed basic necessities. They say the amount should reflect the lifestyle attainable through the parents’ income.

“The needs of a child of an extraordinarily high earner are only met if child support is set at an amount high enough to allow the child the lifestyle attainable by his or her parents,” the documents state.

The filing also argues for financial security and a home similar to the higher-earning parent’s. It does not identify a newly calculated guideline amount in the account reported by Us.

Restraining Order Request Was Denied

Berry and Martinez married in 2013 and separated in 2015. Their divorce was finalized in 2023.

Martinez also recently accused Berry of abusing their son, allegations she adamantly denies. He sought a domestic violence restraining order on October 1.

A temporary restraining order was granted that day. On October 29, a Los Angeles judge denied the domestic violence restraining order request and dissolved the temporary order.

The site’s earlier coverage of Martinez’s court testimony concerns that disputed abuse account. It is separate from the newly reported request to modify support.

After the October hearing, Berry’s attorney welcomed dissolution of the temporary order. The attorney said Berry remained focused on her family’s well-being and best interests.
