Halle Berry’s custody battle with ex-husband Olivier Martinez has taken a dramatic turn. According to Page Six, Martinez has been granted primary custody of their 12-year-old son, Maceo, after accusing the Catwoman actress of physically abusing the child. The development comes after Martinez filed for a temporary restraining order against Berry, which was also granted by the court.

The order temporarily limits Berry’s time with Maceo to court-ordered visitation, reportedly allowing her to see him two days a week and every other weekend. She has also been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Martinez. A hearing in the case is scheduled for October 16, according to TMZ.
