Story summary

Halle Berry’s custody battle with ex-partner Olivier Martinez escalated as a judge is set to rule on whether their 13-year-old son, Maceo, can testify in court. In recent filings, Martinez argued that it would be in Maceo's best interest for him to address the court and share what he experienced during an incident on September 26th. Berry has denied Martinez’s claims of her jumping on and choking their son. Last month, Martinez was granted primary custody after filing a temporary restraining order against Berry. Berry counters that Martinez is trying to insert his daughter from another relationship into the case, which she deems inappropriate. The legal drama continues as both parties vie for control over how to proceed with Maceo’s welfare and testimony in court.
