Halle Berry Objects to Ex-Husband’s Demands for Financial Records in Child Custody Dispute

Actress Halle Berry is standing her ground in her ongoing child custody dispute with ex-husband Olivier Martinez, as tensions escalate in their legal battle. Berry, 58, is pushing back against Martinez’s demands for extensive financial records, with court documents revealing her objections to appearing in court later this month.

Martinez, also 58, has requested Berry to attend a hearing on October 22 and provide a wide range of financial documents, a move that Berry’s legal team deems unnecessary and overly burdensome. Despite Martinez’s claims of lacking resources in the past, Berry’s lawyer accuses him of launching an aggressive and extensive financial discovery process that goes beyond the scope of their post-divorce proceedings.

The court filing highlights Martinez’s demands for historical financial information covering 70 categories over multiple years, which Berry’s legal team argues is irrelevant to the current issues at hand, particularly regarding needs-based legal fees. The actress believes that producing such documentation would be a waste of time and resources, with her attorney emphasizing the undue burden placed on Berry.

Since finalizing their divorce in late 2023, Berry and Martinez have been embroiled in a complex legal battle over custody issues, drawing significant attention to their ongoing disputes. As the October 22 hearing approaches, the courtroom drama between the former couple shows no signs of resolution, leaving the outcome of their legal battle uncertain.
