Olivier Martinez to receive nearly $100,000 per year in child support from Halle Berry

Actress Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are finally working out the terms of their divorce after battling it out for over eight years.

The former couple has been arguing over details like custody of their son, finances, and such on. Although the specifics of their agreement were originally not filed in open court, The Blast has obtained exclusive documents revealing new details about their settlement.

The former couple has reached a custody agreement concerning their son, Maceo, who is still a minor. The former couple will share joint physical custody of Maceo. In addition, Berry will continue to pay for his education so long as he remains in private school.

"In exercising joint legal custody, each Party shall consult and cooperate with the other to reach a mutual agreement with respect to issues affecting Maceo 's health, education, and welfare and neither Party shall make unilateral decisions impacting Maceo," reads the court document."

In addition, the court documents state that the actress will remain in control over her son's U.S. passport. Oliver will be given control over his French passport. However, the court filing notes that "Upon request, the passport shall be surrendered to the Party traveling with Maceo. Neither Party shall withhold Maceo's passports from the other Party if the passports are needed."

Maceo's Country of Habitual Residence has been listed as the United States, while California has been listed as his home state, which is required to be listed under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. The documents also note that Maceo’s county of residence is Los Angeles and that he is not allowed to be moved out of the county without the written consent of the other party or an order from the court.

The custody of Maceo is a bit more flexibility during school holidays and notes that the former couple "shall exercise custody of Maceo on a two-week on/two-week off basis," adding, "The Party working on location shall bear all expenses related to any travel by Maceo to and from their work location, including the cost of tutors and nannies as necessary."

In addition, the former couple is agreeing not to " shall speak in a negative, disrespectful, disparaging, or derogatory manner to, or about, the other Party or her/his family and/or significant other, or allow third parties to do same, in the presence of, or within Maceo's hearing range." Both Halle and Olivier " shall use their best efforts to ensure that all other family members, friends, and other third parties comply with this provision. Neither Party shall speak in a negative, disrespectful, or derogatory manner about the other Party in the public arena or social media."

In terms of child support, which started on March 15, 2023, the actress will pay Oliver $8,000 per month. Starting on April 1, 2023, Halle Berry also has to pay Oliver 4.3% of any income she receives above $2,000,000, and for additional child support for Maceo.

She is also agreeing to pay the full amount for any of her son's extracurricular activities, such as soccer. Those payments will not be paid to Oliver. Instead, she will give that money directly to the institution that is providing the services for her son. Halle Berry has also agreed to reimburse Oliver's 2023 payment for their son's soccer program after Oliver provides proof that the payment does not exceed $3,500.

Berry will also continue to provide medical and dental health insurance for her son; however, it is noted that the Family Code requires both Halle and Oliver to contribute financially to Maceo's support, adding that "Olivier shall take reasonable action to become employed to contribute to Maceo's support."

The former couple had been married from 2013 to 2016. In 2015, Halle and Olivier announced their divorce, saying in a joint statement, “We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son.” At the time, they had agreed to share joint custody of their son, saying that they would “share custody as is in the best interest of the child.”

Eric Benet cheated on Halle uptown, downtown and everywhere else in between. You can't blame her for that. He admits it. He went to "rehab" for it. India is in her 30s now and she never actually adopted her.

Wesley Snipes allegedly was the boyfriend that beat her so badly she ended up deaf in one ear.

Gabriel Aubrey never bothered working.

At least she and Oliver Martinez don't seem to hate each other and have managed to co-parent their kid without much drama.

I just think she chooses really shitty men.

[quote] Gabriel Aubry Claims Olivier Martinez Threatened to Kill Him, Gets Restraining Order Against Halle Berry's Fiancé

Gabriel Aubry has come back swinging against Olivier Martinez.

Halle Berry's ex secured a temporary restraining order against Martinez today in L.A. Superior Court, claiming in court documents that, on Thanksgiving, Berry's fiancé threatened to kill him if he didn't let Berry move to France with her and Aubry's 4-year-old daughter, Nahla, E! News confirms.

Aubry and Martinez got into a physical altercation outside Berry's home on Thanksgiving morning, after which Aubry was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor battery.

A routine emergency protection order was put into place directly after the holiday brouhaha that, in addition to keeping clear of Berry and Martinez, required Aubry to stay away from 4-year-old daughter Nahla for five court days. Berry's lawyer tells E! that they plan on filing for an additional restraining order this week.

In the court filing obtained by E! News, Aubry alleges that Martinez first confronted him last Wednesday outside Nahla's school, saying in French, "I wish I could beat the s--t out of you right now...We're going to take Nahla right now and you're not going to follow us." Nahla ended up leaving school with her dad, as planned, Aubry states.

The next day, Thanksgiving, Aubry was dropping Nahla off at Berry's house when Martinez attacked him, the filing alleges. "He continued to punch me at least two or three times, kicked me in the ribs with his knee or foot, and took my head in his hands and slammed it to the concrete driveway," Aubry states. It was when Martinez was striking him, Aubry continues, that he said, "in an aggressive and threatening voice, 'you cost us 3 million dollars. When you see the judge you're going to go to Paris or I'm going to kill you.'"

Aubry also alleges that Martinez told him that he should say he was the one who attacked Martinez, or he was going to kill him. Aubry states that he told police that Martinez attacked him, but he was handcuffed, put in an ambulance and taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to get checked out.

Per the restraining order obtained by Aubry today, Martinez, who was treated for reported neck and hand injuries, is required to stay at least 100 yards away from Aubry, who was left with a black eye and a reportedly broken rib. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 17 on whether to make the TRO permanent.

A source says that two LAPD officers arrived at Berry's home in an unmarked car this afternoon, stayed for about 45 minutes and then left.

Estimates of her net worth range from $70M to $120M with an annual income from work of about $6M. Even if the net worth figures are overstated by a factor of 3x, she can easily afford $100,000 a year in child support to an ex-husband and should be glad enough to do so. If the father was awarded a role in raising the children, that's not an extravagant amount given the wealth involved and the evident disparity between the former partners.

He might be an asshole or worse, but unless he lost custody of the children, I don't see the sum as anything but a bargain for Berry. If I had vastly more money and prospects of continued income than an ex-partner with whom I continued to share parental custody, I would still want to provide him with an income stream sufficient to ensure a decent place for the kids to visit and stay, and money enough to care for his kids without begging with receipts for every expenditure small and large. It's the cost of relationships, but all the more when kids are shared after a split.

Aubry still has four more years until Nahla is 19, and his child support is $200,000 per year.

Martinez has a long time more to go, because I think Maceo is only 8 or 9 years old.

She has already paid Aubry well over a million dollars in child support, and by the time Maceo is an adult, it'll be another million bucks.

That's a lot of money for these useless grifters.

Think about it. Gabriel Aubry gets $200,000 a year, and he doesn't have to do a single thing to earn it.

Now Martinez will get $100,000 a year, and he doesn't have to do a single thing to earn it either.

What does that have to do with the subsequent husband and father of subsequent kids? if that is a big fucking concern to Berry, maybe let her take it as a sign to marry in her own net worth bracket or secure sole-custody with the former partner and parent having no parental rights or responsibilities. Maybe she complains bitterly, but that's not part of the story I read which was made simply to drum up drama about someone getting something for nothing -- a popular red meat topic in journalism.

[quote]Nice gig for both of these losers.

I wouldn't house and care and take responsibility for someone else's kid part-time for $96,000 a year. That doesn't sound like easy money to me, nor a carefree job. $96,000 a year ensures the kids have contact with their father, have a decent place to live when they stay with him, and provides money enough to look after their needs while in his care. Would you rather she had an assistant drop off the kids at some broken-down trailer park and eat Stouffer's frozen dinners and get a begrudging back-to school shirt from the Goodwill? That's what lots of kids in shared child custody get, and sometimes barely so. But when one ex in the former partnership, one parent has a huge reserve of money and makes millions on top of that from new work every year, who is really punished by making certain the financial 'loser' partner doesn't benefit from having a nicer house than he could afford himself? nicer bedrooms for the kids? not having to think twice about how to pay for their dinner or some school clothes or pocket money? Of course Martinez gains some benefit from the $96,000 a year, of course he's richer and luckier than his trailer park counterpart, but for fuck's sake, it's not as though he's $96,000 a month 'to maintain his lifestyle' in additional to child support, and flying around living as though money doesn't matter.

R61 is absolutely correct. We only think this is outlandish because of patriarchy, and western Judeo Christian rituals of heteronormativity and male head of household. If she were the male Hollywood actor and the guys beautiful women, this would be much ado about nothing and not even on anyone’s radar of spousal/child support.

With that being said, Halle is still absolutely flawless. I just wish she had procreated at least once with a black man. She seems to be crazy in love with her current musician bohemian partner.

I'm just saying, R55, if you were left deaf by a violent boyfriend, and you still end up attracted to a man that has the capacity to beat the shit out of your OTHER ex, then you aren't fixing your picker from one sordid short-lived relationship/marriage to the next.

John Ronan - moocher/tried to sue her because she became famous after they broke up David Justice - violent - 3.5 years Wesley Snipes - violent - >1 year Eric Benet - sex-addict/cheater - 2 years Gabriel Aubry - moocher - 2 years Olivier Martinez - violent - 2.5 years

Three short-lived failed marriages, broke up with both fathers of both children while the child was very small, etc etc. It's not that I'm blaming her 100% and absolving the men, but gurl. If a man were to beat me to the point that I lost hearing in my ear, I would be vetting any subsequent men HARD, and slowing my roll so that I could observe and get to know these men before going in hard and fast. I am going to vet this bitch so that I don't make the same mistake and end up with another cheater, abuser, whatever. Especially if procreation is on the table and children are going to be involved.

Singer Britney Spears is paying a lot of money to give actor Sam Asghari a new home.

The 29-year-old actor filed for divorce from the 41-year-old pop star on August 16 but listed their date of separation as July 28, 2023, so it seems that the couple has been estranged for a while. After settling the custody of their five dogs earlier this week, it looks like the couple is ready to go their separate ways.

That being said, it looks like the two aren't quite ready to sever financial ties just yet, as sources revealed that Britney is the one who is paying for Sam's new luxury dwellings in Los Angeles.

On Tuesday, a source told Page Six that the “Special Ops: Lioness” actor had moved out of Britney’s Thousand Oaks estate and moved into the Ten Thousand building in Los Angeles, which is on the border of Beverly Hills and Century City.

The 40-story building has 283 units, with rent ranging from $10,000 to $65,000 each month. The swanky building features amenities like a lap pool, a private park, valet services, and on-call doctors who can provide medical services ranging from treating the common cold to providing Botox.

A source told the outlet that the actor is trying to get along well with his new neighbors, saying, “He’s been friendly with the residents and has been with his sister a lot.” The outlet also noted that several high-profile celebrities, like singer Demi Lovato, used to rent a space in the building.

While many questioned how Sam could afford his new luxury dwelling, the answer became clear on Thursday, when a source told TMZ that it was Britney who was paying $10,000 a month for Sam’s new home. An insider revealed that $10,000 is the cost of a standard unit; however, Sam was able to work out a deal to get a better apartment at the price of a standard unit.

Still, many fans are not happy to hear that Britney is picking up the tab for his new place. On August 16, the day Sam filed for divorce, a source told Page Six that the actor was “attempting to negotiate concessions beyond his prenup and threatening to go public with extraordinarily embarrassing information about Britney unless he gets paid.”

The following day, a rep for the actor, Brandon Cohen, told The Hollywood Reporter that Sam had no intention of challenging the prenup. “There are many claims that Sam is challenging the prenup and threatening to exploit his ex-wife with videos,” his rep told THR. “However, all these claims are false, as no negative intention has ever been directed towards her and never will be. Sam has always and will always support her.”

Sam also took to his Instagram Stories the same day to say that he will “wish her the best always” amid the divorce. “After 6 years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together,” he wrote. “We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always. Sh*t happens. Asking for privacy seems [ridiculous] so I will just ask for everyone including media to be kind and thoughtful.”

Last Friday, a source told Us Weekly that Sam and Britney were not speaking and were letting everything go through their lawyers. “She’s not letting [Sam] in the home and they aren’t talking,” adding, “They have had problems for a while and all of the drama surrounding Britney was incredibly hard for Sam to take.”

Last Friday, TMZ reported that Sam is not likely to get anything from the marriage, even if he is set to challenge the prenup. Although he requested spousal support in the divorce filing, his prenup precludes him from getting spousal support. He will get to keep any gifts Britney gave him but it doesn’t look like he is entitled to much else.

One insider told the outlet that the prenup also included an “extensive confidentiality clause,” which prohibited Sam from talking about his relationship with Britney. However, several sources believe that Britney might just reach a new settlement with Sam with a new confidentiality clause to buy his silence.

At least she has an adorable new puppy to keep her company.

How embarrassing for him. Broke ass.

It's about time women started paying up.

They wanted equality.

Now they have it.

Men have had to pay support to women for centuries, because they were the primary wage earner.

It's time women started forking over the cash.

I'm sure Martinez signed a strong prenup. And I believe the 50/50 split is for the assets acquired during the marriage, not what each had before marriage.

by Anonymousreply 83August 24, 2023 6:08 PM

I like Sam's "Shit happens" comment.

None of us can imagine what he went through being with Brtiney. Whether you think he had ulterior motives or not, you know he tried to keep things copacetic. And she most likely made it quite literally impossible for him to live under the same roof as her and be able to function as a normal human being with his own life and a sense of safety or routine. You know she probably beat on him and threw fits and was crazy and impossible to get along with or reason with.

I also think she has a thing where it's all romance and fawning until marriage, and then something clicks and she turns crazy and mean. I am speculating on all of this of course, but it's not hard to imagine Britney projecting her anger at her father onto a husband.

I think she is codependent and clingy, and loves the idea of having a boyfriend who is devoted to her and will never leave her. So marriage sounds romantic and comforting. And then once they are contractually linked, I think she immediately feels controlled or stuck, or wants to control, and she get's restless and begins to either want to control, or rebel against, the spouse.

Again, all speculation.

If it is true that she beat Sam, had knives under the bed, etc, then I don't think it's outrageous for her to have to pay to relocate the husband, if he couldn't even live with her or close both eyes at night due to fear of being maimed.

They tend to go for leading men in their 30's.

I know a woman from Eric Benet’s neighborhood where he grew up. Eric, according to her, isn’t a bad guy at all. Halle painted herself as the victim in their relationship but she was no saint. This woman said that Halle can be a controlling nag. And a self- centered controlling nag at that.

She plays a role in the implosion of her relationships. So did I in my own disastrous couplings. We seek those who are similar to our dysfunctional family members who we grew up with. And it repeats itself over and over again until you find a way to stop the cycle.

by Anonymousreply 95August 24, 2023 8:07 PM

The common denominator in all of these bad, abusive, opportunistic relationships is Halle Berry. She's batshit and she chooses relationships where the buttons are all in place for her to push.

Kevin Costner was one of her first "sugar daddies" when she came out to California and was being kept. She never turned tricks, exactly, she was just "kept" by Costner and, I think, Snipes after that? I don't really remember.

[quote]Estimates of her net worth range from $70M to $120M with an annual income from work of about $6M. Even if the net worth figures are overstated by a factor of 3x, she can easily afford $100,000 a year in child support to an ex-husband and should be glad enough to do so. I

I never trust those net worth sites either.

However, Halle managed to become an A-List movie star back when it was still a thing. Then if you add in her Revlon contract which went on for years, she must be sitting pretty. That money is nothing to her.

I'll also give her credit, I never thought much of her until I started seeing her tweets on my timeline.

She seems genuinely funny and has no problem making fun of herself. She also actually talks to people. It made me like her more.

Let's cut Halle a little slack here. I'm sure she's acted from a wounded place in relationship, and has codependent tendencies. Doesn't mean she's batshit crazy across the board. Who among us hasn't had our share of dysfunction in relationships? It's more normal to have fucked up relationships than to not. As long as the kids are safe, and she gives them her time and attention, it just is what it is. She seems like a sincere gal doing her best.

Honestly every time I see a pic of Gabriel Aubry I remember how hot he is and it knocks the wind out of me. Good God.

I also was just remembering that he grew up in the foster system and that Halle leaked a story about him maybe having been involved in an incestuous sexual relationship as a minor with a family member - a cousin maybe? And that it impacted their sex life. She also alleged that he had depression and social anxiety and he was scared to seek treatment.

She did this during the custody dispute to try to smear him so that she could simply run off across the globe with her new man, stealing his daughter from him.

She really is vile. Sure, leak deeply sensitive, private information about your child's father to the press, and then try to steal is daughter from him after he already was an orphan as a child himself.

Gabriel Aubry is such a mooch. Don't you think it's weird he didn't have any long term relationship or kids after breaking up with Halle? Probably because he won't have kids unless he gets paid for it. And you don't see very many photos of him with his daughter these days. Are they estranged?
