Earlier this month actress Halle Berry filed for sole custody of her son with actor Olivier Martinez after accusing him of ignoring their son's special needs [click here if you missed that].
Now Olivier is accusing Halle of trying to take advantage of him...
From People
Halle Berry is alleging her ex Olivier Martinez is delaying the custody case involving their 10-year-old son Maceo, while Martinez claims that The Union actress is trying to unfairly take advantage of him.
In new court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Berry claims that her ex-husband, 58, is causing "detrimental harm" to their son by filing a request to delay their upcoming custody hearing.
Berry, 58, claims that Maceo is struggling and is "grade levels" behind in school, having been diagnosed with ADHD, specific learning disorders and mild dyslexia. She alleges that the French actor is "either oblivious" to their son's challenges or "carelessly disregards them," which she says proves he's not fit to make decisions for Maceo.
Berry claims that by delaying their custody hearing, Martinez is delaying a "ruling on interventions necessary for the parties' struggling child" and attempting to "extract" more money from Berry.
Berry also says Martinez's claim that he needs to hire an expert to testify on his behalf is "nonsensical" given that the third-party witnesses she's asked to speak are ones who know Maceo intimately.
"It would be unjust, and certainly detrimental to Maceo, to continue the September 10, 2024 hearing by 120 days on the basis that third-party percipient witnesses are expected to testify or that Olivier somehow needs to retain other unidentified experts," the documents read.
Shortly after Berry filed her documents on Friday, Aug. 23, Martinez also filed documents, obtained by PEOPLE. He alleges that Berry is taking advantage of him by not allowing him time to prepare and "attempting to bootstrap her way into an immediate hearing" to give him the "absolute minimum."
Martinez says Berry, who previously filed for sole legal custody of Maceo, is "refusing" to set a hearing date that works for him, claiming that Berry has refused his request for help paying for his legal counsel, despite "admittedly earning several millions of dollars at this time."
He continues, alleging that Berry is "keeping him from being able to defend himself both by not having any time or fees to deal with her extreme request," and claims that she is "not allowed to take advantage of [him]."
In the documents, Martinez says he "cannot be forced to give up his right to discovery or his right to have sufficient time to prepare his response his response simply because [Berry] is attempting to force and railroad him into submission."

Having kids late ups the possibility of all those challenges. Good thing Halle has the money to get him the proper help. As for her ex she knew he was an azz. The man beat up her other baby daddy! David Justice already told us Halle was selfish and narcissistic. Looks like she met her match.
Do what's best for the child.
Grand Rising Snitch.
That’s what you get. HB ain’t nothing but an old baby mama actress.
In everyday life regular people, have their children assessed by educational professionals, and they can recommend what's best for the child.
Macro Ain't Got No ADHD. She Just Want That $700 Check Like Tyrese Mama(rip).
Her daughter is special needs also which is why you never see her and why Halle fought so hard to prevent the paps from taking her pics. Having babies later in life is definitely a risky move.

Prayers for Hallie and her Baby! The man was seemingly an opportunist. I can imagine it's very hard to tell who's REALLY real once you reach a certain level of fame and wealth.
