Halle Berry has lost a custody ruling in her court battle with ex-husband Olivier Martinez, according to TMZ. The decision came in the same case in which Martinez had sought a restraining order against the actress over abuse claims, Page Six reported.
The temporary restraining order Martinez obtained was dissolved, Us Weekly reported. Berry's lawyer has since spoken publicly about the outcome, according to Us Weekly, though the material reviewed here does not include the attorney's remarks.
The reports frame the ruling as a defeat for Berry in the dispute with Martinez, her former spouse. TMZ's headline states she lost custody, while Page Six characterized the hearing as the point at which she learned her fate following Martinez's restraining order request.
Coverage of the case has come from several outlets, each emphasizing a different element: TMZ on the custody result, Page Six on the restraining order request tied to abuse allegations, and Us Weekly on the dissolution of the temporary order and the response from Berry's legal team. Details of the custody terms, the allegations themselves, and the reasoning behind the rulings were not available in the source material and are not reported here.
Berry and Martinez were married and share a child, a widely reported fact that forms the backdrop to the proceedings.
What to watch next: whether Berry's representatives appeal the custody decision or comment further on the dissolved restraining order.
