Halle Berry and her ex-husband Olivier Martinez will be attending ‘co-parenting therapy’ sessions for the sake of their ten-year-old son Maceo.
The Monster’s Ball star, 57, and the French actor, 58, will use the help of an adult and child psychiatrist to ‘resolve disputes and conflicts between them in an effort to successfully co-parent’ their son, as per court documents obtained by Us Weekly.
The doctor will ‘determine the manner, structure, length of the session and the frequency of the coparenting therapy/coaching,’ according to the documents.
The pair — who finalized their divorce last year — will each attend one solo session, before going to at least six sessions together by June 14.
Berry’s boyfriend, Van Hunt, 54, might get involved as well, with documents revealing the singer is not ‘precluded from participating in [their] co-parenting therapy/coaching sessions.’

If the therapy proves useful, they might continue attending the joint sessions for one year.
Halle — who started dating Hunt in September 2020 — finalized her divorce from Olivier in 2023.
She split from the Unfaithful actor seven years prior, after only three years of marriage. They had a prenup in place but there were many lingering issues.
At the time a source told Us Weekly: ‘Van has been so supportive of Halle throughout this process with her divorce.’
‘But at the same time, Halle is an incredibly intelligent woman and can handle things on her own. Of course, it’s amazing knowing Van has her back, and she feels like she finally found somebody who treats her with the respect she deserves.’
Halle and Olivier had ‘some unresolved issues on custody and child support’ over their son, which led to the case being held up in court, according to TMZ.
But in 2023 the exes agreed to a formal custody and child support arrangement.
The Oscar-winning star now has ‘joint legal and physical custody of Maceo,’ the site claimed.

And she has to pay Olivier a whopping $8,000 a month with expenses for Maceo’s health insurance, therapy and school on top of that.
Halle has custody of Maceo on Monday to Wednesday and Olivier gets Wednesday to Friday, the site claimed.
If there are school closures changes will be made.
The pair alternate custody of Maceo on the weekends, TMZ added.
She will also write a check for an additional 4.3 percent of all income she receives above $2 million, the site added.
And there are several other expenses on top of that.
Halle must also cover Maceo’s private school tuition and all of his other activities, like his soccer expenses.
And Berry will foot the bill for Maceo’s medical and dental insurance and added expenses.
The beauty will also pay for any therapy her son has.

Martinez met Halle on set of Dark Tide in 2010. They married in France in 2013. In October that year, three months after tying the knot, they welcomed Maceo; Seen in 2012
Halle and her daughter, Nahla, 16, whom she had with her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, 47, can sit in during the family sessions, the site noted.
Martinez met Halle on set of Dark Tide, which was filming in South Africa in 2010, the same year she and Aubry announced their split.
Things moved quickly for the glamorous couple, who confirmed their engagement in March 2012, and were married in France just a year later on July 13, 2013.
In October that year, three months after tying the knot, they welcomed a son Maceo.
This is the third failed marriage for Halle, who was married twice before she wed Martinez – she never married Aubry despite sharing a child with him.
In a joint statement, Halle and Martinez announced: ‘It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce.
‘We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus for what is best for our son. We wish each other nothing but happiness in life, and we hope that you respect our, and most importantly our children’s privacy, as we go through this difficult period.’
They had been fighting over his January 2015 incident at LAX, where Olivier hit airport employee Ronaldo Owens with a car seat, pushing him to the ground. Halle and their son were also there. A $5 million lawsuit was filed in mid October against Halle and Olivier for the attack.
This ‘exacerbated their conflicts,’ it was reported.
Aside from Maceo, Halle is also mom to daughter Nahla, 16, whom she had with her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, 47. The pair split in 2010; Seen in 2009 in New York City
‘They have a personality difference,’ it was also claimed by the site. ‘They’re just very, very different people. He’s a very macho guy, and things just didn’t jive.’
The two made headlines in 2012 when they got into a fight with her ex Aubry during Thanksgiving. The model had dropped daughter Nahla off at Berry’s Los Angeles home.
That is when Martinez and Aubrey got into a verbal which soon turned physical. Aubrey claimed the S.W.A.T. actor threatened to kill him. Both men had to go to the hospital for their injuries.
Aubrey was arrested and issued a restraining order as a result of the incident.
Berry was also previously married to David Justice between 1993 and 1997 and Eric Benét between 2001 and 2005.
