Olivier Martinez is requesting more child support from ex Halle Berry.

Amid their ongoing custody battle over their 13-year-old son Maceo, Martinez temporarily has primary custody of the child.

Berry is currently required to pay her ex-husband $8,000 per month in child support plus 4.3% of any income she makes over $2 million.

Olivier Martinez has filed a request for more child support from Halle Berry amid the former couple’s ongoing custody dispute.

According to new filings, obtained by Entertainment Weekly’s sister publication PEOPLE, Martinez has asked the court to increase Berry’s child support obligations, arguing that their current arrangement reflects their former 50-50 custody agreement regarding their 13-year-old son Maceo.

After a judge dissolved the temporary restraining order against Berry, the temporary custodial arrangements were ordered to stay in place until a future hearing, which means that Martinez currently has primary custody of their child.

Martinez requested that Berry share income disclosures, saying that she should provide their son with “fair, timely, and sufficient support,” according to PEOPLE. Under the conditions of their divorce, Berry is required to pay her ex-husband $8,000 per month in child support plus 4.3% of any income she makes over $2 million.

Entertainment Weekly reached out to attorneys for Martinez and Berry for comment.

“Mr. Martinez has had primary physical custody of the minor child since early October 2026,” Patrick Baghdaserians, Martinez’s attorney, told PEOPLE. “Our request is based in part on his desire to provide for the minor child in the best way possible.”

The temporary custody agreement is expected to stay in place until Dec. 17, after which the former couple will return to court to reassess the arrangement. Under the terms of the modified custody arrangement, Berry’s visitation with Maceo is limited to Mondays and Tuesdays, as well as Saturdays and Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Martinez previously accused Berry of abusing their son, obtaining a TRO against the X-Men actress on Oct. 1. The TRO was dissolved on Oct. 29. Berry has denied the allegations and accused Martinez of trying to turn Maceo against her.

“I am not a perpetrator of violence,” she previously said. “I would never hurt our child.”
