‘Repeatedly Violates Agreements’: Halle Berry Appeals to Court to Force Ex-Spouse Olivier Martinez to Attend Co-Parenting Therapy

According to reports from a filing in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, published on August 1, Berry claims that Martinez violated their agreement by ending coaching sessions unilaterally without giving either herself or the coach notice.

According to the records, the award-winning actress claimed that her former spouse has consistently ignored and disrespected the terms of their agreements and court rulings without caution, also stating that his behavior is detrimental to their child and further strains their already tense connection.

According to the documents, Berry stated that within two months following her and Martinez’s signing of the agreement, they were expected to complete their separate therapy sessions prior to commencing joint ones. Once this was done, it was planned for the therapist to liaise with relevant external parties such as their son’s school therapist.

As a die-hard fan, let me share my take on this: Nothing of the sort has transpired yet. There wasn’t a single joint meeting arranged, nor did I hear about any third parties being reached out to.

The movie star, who is known for kidnapping roles, has claimed that Martinez delayed our joint parenting meetings until September because he went on vacation to France in July and had a family visit in Los Angeles in August.

Berry noted that the meetings took place on Zoom, implying it wouldn’t make a difference if the participants were from different locations.

As a committed follower, I found myself in a predicament when my ex-spouse failed to comply with essential paperwork necessary for my therapist to engage with the mandatory third parties, as indicated in the document.

Apart from the accusation of suggesting co-parenting therapy, she claimed he aimed to postpone any intervention for his own benefit, potentially disrupting her and Maceo’s relationship without facing any consequences.

The actress stated that she initially attempted to resolve the issue directly with him and via their legal representatives, before ultimately deciding to pursue a legal solution.

Yet, Judge Shelley Kaufman declined her plea on Thursday, citing “insufficient exigent circumstances” as stated in the court documents, according to the media outlet’s review.

The ex-couple got married in 2013 and just after two years, the actress filed for divorce.
