Olivier Martinez is asking a judge to increase the child support Halle Berry pays for their 13-year-old son, Maceo.
In court documents filed Monday, the actor said he’s spending more on his son’s care now that he has physical custody about 82% of the time.
According to TMZ, Berry currently pays him $8,000 a month, plus 4.3% on any annual earnings above $2 million. Those payments were set in August 2023, when the two finalized their divorce and were splitting custody 50-50.
At the time, the agreement also required Berry to pay Maceo’s private school tuition and cover his extracurricular activities. She was responsible for his health insurance and any medical bills it didn’t cover.
Now, Martinez says he needs updated income records from Berry before he can propose a new monthly payment. In the same filing, he reported an average of $776 a month in acting residuals and listed more than $17,500 in monthly expenses and planned spending.
Last month, Martinez asked for sole custody after accusing the actress of physically abusing Maceo in September. On October 1, a judge granted a temporary restraining order and limited Berry to daytime visits four days a week.
Berry denied the allegation and asked the court to restore the 50-50 schedule. “I have never physically, emotionally, or otherwise abused Maceo,” she said in an October 5 declaration obtained by PEOPLE.
On October 29, the judge lifted the temporary restraining order and denied Martinez’s request for a longer-term domestic violence restraining order. The revised schedule stayed in place, with Martinez retaining primary physical custody. Both parents still share legal custody.
Last week, Martinez asked the court to order Berry to pay $240,000 in legal fees, saying he couldn’t afford to pay his attorneys. The two are due back in court December 17 for another custody hearing.
