Last week, the divorce battle between Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez took another turn. Reports surfaced that Berry sought to compel her ex-husband back into co-parenting classes after he left for a summer vacation, but her motion was denied.
In Touch reports that a Los Angeles superior court judge rejected Berry’s emergency court order. The court documents, obtained exclusively by the magazine, reveal that Berry, 57, requested that Martinez, 58, resume co-parenting therapy sessions, a stipulation from their recent settlement.
The couple, who share a 10-year-old son, Maceo, have had a contentious relationship post-divorce. In her motion, Berry accused Martinez of violating their agreement regarding co-parenting therapy, thus necessitating the emergency order.

However, Martinez’s legal team quickly responded, arguing that the issue did not constitute an emergency. They accused Berry of strategically timing her motion to coincide with Martinez’s vacation, making it difficult for him to respond.
“[Halle] knowingly noticed her ex parte request when she knew Olivier would be traveling and would be unable to communicate with his counsel to respond to [Halle’s] ex parte request, thus further impeding [Olivier’s] right to be heard,” stated Martinez’s legal team.
