Judge Dissolves Restraining Order Yet Leaves Olivier Martinez With Interim Primary Custody

The court found insufficient basis for a protective order, kept modified daytime visitation in place and ordered court‑supervised therapy before a November custody review.

Overview

  • On Oct. 29 a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge dissolved Olivier Martinez’s temporary domestic‑violence restraining order against Halle Berry and denied his request for a longer protective order.
  • The judge left in place the interim parenting plan that gives Martinez primary physical custody and bars Berry from overnight visits while preserving existing holiday and vacation orders.
  • The court ordered 12 joint “safe‑haven” therapy sessions for Berry and her son to be completed within six months and scheduled a Nov. 4 hearing to appoint the therapist.
  • The decision followed nearly four hours of sealed testimony from the 13‑year‑old son and testimony from other witnesses during closed family‑court hearings earlier in October.
  • This is a civil family‑court matter, not a criminal finding, and both parents continue to dispute allegations; the custody and visitation arrangement will be revisited by the judge in November.
