A Los Angeles County judge issued a temporary restraining order requiring Halle Berry to stay away from Olivier Martinez and their 12-year-old son, Maceo, while their custody dispute proceeds, according to Entertainment Weekly. The outlet reported that Berry’s visits with Maceo are temporarily set for Mondays and Tuesdays, and Saturdays and Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fox News reported that the order also places Berry at least 100 yards from Martinez and requires the former couple to attend confidential custody mediation.
Claims and responses
Martinez is seeking full custody and alleges Berry physically harmed Maceo during an incident on Sept. 26, 2026. Variety reported that Martinez’s filing accuses Berry of jumping on their son, holding him by the neck and choking him. These are allegations made by Martinez, not findings established in the supplied reports.
The sobriety issue is described differently across the available accounts. Entertainment Weekly reported that the judge denied Martinez’s request for sobriety monitoring, citing insufficient information. Fox News reported that Martinez’s petition sought restrictions on Berry’s substance use and sobriety testing during visits. The order itself was not supplied, so the precise conditions cannot be confirmed here.
Berry’s attorney, Marina Beck, rejected Martinez’s account and said he had violated court orders and disrupted therapeutic and educational interventions involving Maceo, according to Entertainment Weekly. Cleveland.com also reported Beck’s accusations about Martinez’s conduct and her response to the allegations against Berry.
Next court date
The next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 16, Entertainment Weekly reported. The custody dispute and the competing claims remain unresolved in the reporting available here.
