Halle Berry claims that she’s spent nearly a quarter of a million dollars trying to co-parent her son with ex-husband Olivier Martinez amid their bitter custody battle.
The “Catwoman” actress claimed in court documents filed Wednesday and obtained by Us Weekly that she has spent over $200,000 in legal fees to fight for custody over their 10-year-old son, Maceo — including $80,000 that went to “voluntarily” paying for Martinez’s own legal expenses.
“I have done everything possible to work with Olivier, to communicate with him, and to engage him in the decision-making process regarding our son in an amicable way,” she wrote in the court documents.
Berry, 58, argued that her ex has “refused to co-parent and communicate with me in a child-centered way” and that he has instead “been oppositional and unmovable on all major issues relating to Maceo.”
The “Monster’s Ball” actress –– who filed for sole custody last month –– initially agreed to share custody last year, but she has to pay the “Unfaithful” actor $8,000 per month in child support and continues to pay for his education.
“As Olivier has advised this court, he lives off my child support and in order to be able to pay child support, I have to go to work. I do not have the luxury of taking months off,” she continued.
