Halle Berry is facing yet another financial demand from ex-husband Olivier Martinez amid their ongoing custody battle.
Just days after asking the Oscar winner to foot a staggering $240,000 legal bill, the French actor is now seeking an increase in his monthly child support payments.
And with Berry already paying $8,000 a month, plus a percentage of her earnings, the latest request could prove costly.
Full story below…
According to TMZ, Martinez wants a judge to recalculate the support Berry pays for their 13-year-old son, Maceo.
Under their 2023 divorce settlement, the actress agreed to pay $8,000 monthly, plus 4.3% of her annual income exceeding $2 million.
However, that arrangement was based on equal custody.
Following an October court ruling, Martinez now has primary physical custody, with Berry’s parenting time reduced to approximately 18%.
The actor argues that caring for their son 82% of the time has increased his expenses.
He also claims to earn just $776 a month in acting residuals while reporting more than $17,500 in monthly expenses and proposed spending needs.
Martinez has yet to specify his desired increase, pending updated financial disclosures from Berry.
The development follows his separate $240,000 legal-fee demand, filed last week.
As previously reported, Martinez retained primary physical custody after accusing Berry of abusing their son.
The actress has vehemently denied the allegations. A judge subsequently dissolved the temporary restraining order and denied Martinez’s request for a longer-term order, while leaving the revised custody arrangement in place.
The former couple is due back in court on December 17.
No ruling has been announced on the latest financial request.

I don’t know a famous sista who made the mistake of getting with a caucasian male who isn’t suffering behind that decision, and who isn’t also bankrolling his entire life. Halle has not one, but two leeches in her pockets. I know she wishes she met Van Hunt prior to Aubrey, and Olivier. Make better decisions in the next life Miss Berry. 🤷🏾♀️💅🏾
Girl what are you talking about sound dumb and stuoid men do that in generall to successfull women you are acting like its a race thing.
