Halle Berry, 60, made a series of requests in her ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Olivier Martinez over their 13-year-old son Maceo in a series of legal filings she made Monday.

Berry has denied all of the claims. Pictured 2016’I have never physically, emotionally, or otherwise abused Maceo,’ Berry said in the court filing. ‘I am a victim of domestic violence, and I help victims of domestic violence. I am not a perpetrator of violence. I would never hurt our child.’Berry in her legal request Monday outlined a series of concerns she has with ‘Olivier’s conduct’ and how it impacts their ability in her co-parenting arrangement.She said in the legal request that he had ‘continued’ to make ‘unilateral’ decisions ‘with respect to Maceo’s education and extracurricular activities’ without her ‘prior knowledge and consent.’Berry claimed in the request that Martinez ‘consistently places Maceo… in the middle of our conflict’ and interferes with their therapeutic work.Berry said in the legal request that their son would ‘act out’ and be ‘angry and combative’ following visits with his father.’He would talk back to me, be untruthful, and do sneaky things (last year, I caught Maceo reading my text messages while on FaceTime with Olivier),’ she claimed in the court filing. ‘It took Maceo 2-3 days to acclimate to being at home and when he would go back to Olivier, the cycle would start all over again.’The actress said in the legal filing that Martinez has sought to ‘align Maceo with him and against me in many areas of our child’s life and activities which causes Maceo to be angry with me about private issues relating to Maceo which Olivier and I are discussing at the same time.’Berry in the legal request claimed that her son would ‘repeat disputes’ over issues she and Martinez spoke about privately and take his father’s side.’If the dispute related to a decision regarding Maceo (for example, about soccer, school, or therapy), Maceo knew about it before Olivier and I reached a decision with respect to a particular issue and would tell me what he and Olivier are going to do (without my input) completely disregarding my authority as his mother,’ Berry said in the legal request.
