AceShowbiz - Halle Berry has accused her ex-husband Olivier Martinez of trying to "delay" completing their agreed-upon therapy sessions as part of their co-parenting agreement by taking "the summer off" to travel. Thus, the actress asked the court to intervene so that thy can get their co-parenting agreement for their 10-year-old son Maceo back on track.
According to legal documents obtained by The Post, the Hollywood star claimed Martinez, "unilaterally decided to defer co-parenting therapy altogether until September because he was traveling to France in the month of July and because his brother will be visiting him in the month of August in Los Angeles."
The former couple, who were married from 2013 to 2016, have been locked in a nasty divorce battle until 2023. In May, the "X-Men" actress and Martinez reached a new co-parenting agreement.
As part of the agreement, the pair agreed to see a co-parenting coach for two individual sessions and at least six joint co-parenting sessions. Berry's current partner, [cVan Hunt], will also be allowed to attend the joint meetings. Once the pair - who will split the cost of the sessions - reach their sixth session, the coach will decide if they need more sessions or if their work together is complete.
Their decision comes following the finalization of their divorce last August, nearly eight years after their initial separation proceedings began. Part of their divorce settlement includes shared legal custody of Maceo.
Berry has agreed to pay Martinez $8,000 monthly in child support, along with 4.3% of any income exceeding $2,000,000. Additionally, she will cover her son's private school tuition, uniforms, school supplies, and extracurricular expenses, including reimbursing Martinez for any of these costs for the 2023/2024 school year.
The couple initially filed for divorce in October 2015 after being married for two years. At that time, they released a joint statement expressing their intentions to move forward with "love and respect" and a unified commitment to providing the best for their son.
