Custody of her son Maceo will be shared and the actress will bear most of the living expenses.
Actress Halle Berry has spent years complaining about the “excessive” pensions she pays to insist that no women - or no man, for that matter- should be obliged to provide his ex-partner with an amount of money that far exceeds what is necessary and reasonable to help raise the child they have in common.

In 2021 she finally got it cut in half the monthly amount that he has been passing to the father of his eldest daughter since 2014 to lower it to $8,000, with the condition that that amount would increase if his income exceeds $1.95 million in any year. However, a few months ago he managed to A judge will modify that last clause to raise it up to 4.9 million.
