Halle Berry’s ex Olivier Martinez demands more child support after dragging actress to court over abuse claims

Halle Berry’s ex-husband Olivier Martinez is demanding she pay him more child support after dragging her to court over claims she abused their 13-year-old son, Mateo.

On Monday, Martinez filed paperwork in Los Angeles Superior Court requesting a “modification” to the former couple’s child support order, which was entered in August 2023 and “reflects the parties’ 50-50 physical custody of the minor child.”

According to Martinez, Berry previously agreed to pay him $8,000 per month in child support as well as “4.3% of any income she receives above $2,000,000, as and for additional child support for Maceo.”

However, he argued that since his temporary restraining order against the actress was granted on Oct. 1, her “timeshare has decreased to approximately 18%.”

The French actor insisted he “cannot calculate the guideline support at this juncture as discovery is pending, and [Berry] has not filed a current income and expense declaration with the court.”

He claimed he “does not have updated information regarding [Berry’s] income. Based on publicly available information, he understands that [she] has starred in ‘Crime 101,’ a film released in 2026, and is working on two additional films, ‘Fleur’ (of which she is also a producer) and ‘Red Card.’”

Martinez — who claimed his current income is less than $800 per month in residual payments — vowed to “provide a proposed X-Spouse report with his reply paperwork upon reviewing [Berry’s] discovery responses, responsive paperwork, and income and expense declaration.”
