The 57-year-old actress, known for her roles in "John Wick: Chapter 3" and "Monster's Ball," initially split from Martinez, also 57, after just three years of marriage. The former couple had a prenuptial agreement in place, but a range of unresolved issues, primarily centered around custody and child support for their nine-year-old son Maceo, extended the legal battle.

Recent reports reveal that the exes have at last come to terms on a formal arrangement for custody and child support. According to documents from Los Angeles Court, Berry, an Academy Award winner, has secured joint legal and physical custody of their son. However, the resolution requires her to make a substantial monthly payment of $8,000 to Martinez, in addition to covering expenses such as health insurance, therapy, and school-related costs for Maceo.

The custody schedule is structured to provide a balanced routine for both parents and their son. Berry will have custody of Maceo during the first part of the week, from Monday to Wednesday, while Martinez will spend time with him from Wednesday to Friday. The arrangement extends to weekends as well, with alternating custody of Maceo. Any necessary adjustments due to school closures will also be accommodated.

Apart from the $8,000 monthly payment, Berry is obligated to contribute 4.3% of her income exceeding $2 million, further adding to the financial support for Maceo's upbringing. In addition to these financial commitments, the actress will cover expenses related to Maceo's education, extracurricular activities, medical and dental insurance, and any required therapy sessions.

The divorce proceedings had faced delays due to various factors, including legal disputes surrounding an incident involving Martinez in January 2015, where he allegedly hit an airport employee with a car seat at LAX. A lawsuit was subsequently filed against both Berry and Martinez. This incident reportedly exacerbated their conflicts.
