According to the settlement of their divorce, both Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez agreed to joint custody of their son, Maceo, and share decision making on things such as their son’s school enrollment, doctor appointments and counseling.
Not only that, the settlement of their divorce also explained further details about their son’s care and their right to a full evidentiary hearing on the merits with respect to those issues, such as could not enroll their son in any extracurricular activity that interferes with the other's custodial time, school pick-up times and locations, and who gets their son on holidays, weekends, and school breaks.
