Halle Berry requested sole custody of her son, Maceo, amid her bitter custody battle with her ex-husband Olivier Martinez.
Per documents obtained by TMZ, the “Catwoman” star alleged her ex’s “turbulent and detrimental behavior” has negatively impacted their 10-year-old as he deals with “serious behavior and learning problems” that the French actor allegedly brushed off on him.
Berry claimed the “Taking Lives” star was more interested in Maceo’s soccer endeavors than his schooling, alleging Martinez refused to get their child a tutor because it would interfere with his practice schedule.

As a result, Maceo has fallen behind in his academics.
The 58-year-old actress also claimed her son returns to her angry after he spends time with Martinez, also 58, claiming the father of one tells him about their relationship woes.
According to the outlet, Berry described her parenting skills as “exemplary,” while Martinez’s are less than satisfactory.

In May, the exes reached a new co-parenting agreement and settled on meeting with a coach to help them better work together to parent their son.
While the two agreed to attend six joint co-parenting sessions, Martinez has decided to take the “summer off.”
As a result, Berry asked for a judge to intervene and force Martinez to return from vacation and participate in the sessions. Her request was denied .
Berry is also mom to daughter Nahla, 16, whom she shares with ex Gabriel Aubry.
