@harukamori.jp: A bitter custody dispute involving Halle Berry and her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, has taken another turn. Now, Martinez claims their 13-year-old son, Maceo, wants the chance to tell a judge his side of the story. According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the French actor says Maceo wants to discuss his custody preferences and an alleged incident that occurred on September 26. Martinez argued that his son deserves to have his voice heard, expressing concern that preventing him from speaking could discourage him from reporting problems in the future. The dispute escalated earlier this month when Martinez sought sole custody of Maceo, alleging that Berry physically Ab\*sed their son during the September incident and that there had been other instances of Ab\*se. But Berry has strongly denied the allegations. In a court declaration, the actress stated that she had never physically, emotionally, or otherwise Ab\*sed Maceo. Her attorney also dismissed Martinez’s claims as misleading and without merit, saying Berry remains focused on her son’s best interests. Berry’s older daughter, Nahla, has also defended her mother. In a court declaration, she said she had never witnessed her mother physically Ab\*se Maceo and described Berry as a loving and devoted parent. Meanwhile, Martinez has maintained that allowing Maceo to speak would help the court understand what happened. For now, the allegations remain disputed, and the court has yet to determine the facts surrounding the incident. When a family dispute reaches the courtroom, the most important priority should be making sure a child’s well-being comes first. \#HalleBerry #OlivierMartinez #CelebrityNews #CustodyBattle #hollywoodnews
