- Halle Berry’s co-parenting feud with Olivier Martinez escalates
- She asks court to force Martinez to attend co-parenting therapy
- They share a 9-year-old son, Maceo
Hollywood's glittering façade often hides the gritty reality of its stars' personal lives, and the latest chapter in Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez's saga is no exception. Despite their split, the duo agreed on "co-parenting therapy" to smooth out the kinks for the sake of their son, Maceo. But, as the plot thickens, Berry accuses Martinez of playing hooky from their co-parenting coach sessions, throwing a wrench in their plans and, allegedly, their son's well-being.

Berry's recent court filing paints a picture of a co-parenting agreement gone awry. According to Berry, Martinez "unilaterally terminated" their sessions, a move she claims not only violates their agreement but also harms their son. Berry's request for the court to step in and enforce Martinez's compliance was, however, met with a cold shoulder, as Judge Shelley Kaufman deemed the situation not urgent enough for immediate intervention.
The filing reveals a summer of discontent, with Martinez allegedly postponing therapy to jet off to France and entertain family, leaving Berry and their son in a lurch. Despite the sessions being Zoom-friendly, Martinez's reluctance to participate or even complete necessary paperwork has, according to Berry, derailed the entire therapeutic process meant to better their son's life.
Under their divorce agreement, Berry is not only tasked with joint legal custody but also a hefty child support bill, further complicating their tangled web. With Berry alleging Martinez's tactics are designed to delay and disrupt, one can't help but wonder about the future of their co-parenting journey.
