Actress Halle Berry has prevailed in a contentious custody dispute with her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, following his allegations of abuse against their 13-year-old son, Maceo. On Thursday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Shelley Kaufman dismissed Martinez’s request for a domestic violence restraining order against Berry and lifted the temporary restrictions previously imposed on her.

The legal action stemmed from Martinez’s claim that Berry, 60, had physically assaulted their son by choking him on September 26. In his restraining order petition, Martinez sought to obtain sole physical and legal custody of Maceo, citing concerns about the child’s safety.

Following the court’s ruling, Martinez and Berry will continue to share joint custody of their son. Berry’s attorney, Marina Beck, expressed satisfaction with the decision, stating that the court’s dissolution of the temporary restraining order was a positive development. Beck also emphasized Berry’s commitment to prioritizing the well-being and best interests of her family moving forward.

The court’s decision effectively rejects Martinez’s allegations of domestic violence, allowing Berry to maintain her parental rights without the previously imposed legal restrictions. The case had drawn public attention due to the serious nature of the claims and the high-profile status of both parties.

No further details about the legal proceedings or the ongoing custody arrangements were disclosed following the judge’s ruling.
