Halle Berry has won a court ruling against her ex-husband Olivier Martinez, but their disagreement over custody of their 13-year-old son, Maceo, is not over.
 
A Los Angeles judge on Thursday, October 29, denied Martinez's request for a domestic violence restraining order against Berry and dissolved the temporary order that had been in place. However, the former couple's revised parenting arrangements will continue for now, with the court expected to revisit custody in November.
 
Berry's lawyer, Marina Beck, welcomed the decision.
 
"We are extremely pleased that the Court has dissolved the TRO," Beck said in a statement. "As we move forward, Halle is determined to continue to focus on the well-being and best interests of her family."
 
An eyewitness told Us Weekly that Berry appeared delighted by the ruling and was seen smiling and embracing her fiancé, Van Hunt, outside the courthouse.
 
The legal dispute began after Martinez accused Berry of physically abusing their son during an incident on September 26. He alleged that Maceo told him he had been attacked and choked during an argument. Berry has denied the allegations, stating in a court declaration that she has never physically or emotionally abused her son.
 
The temporary order initially changed the pair's existing 50-50 custody arrangement, restricting Berry's visits to specified daytime hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. A judge also rejected Martinez's request to have Berry's sobriety monitored, citing insufficient information.
 
Despite the latest ruling, Berry has not immediately regained equal parenting time. Reports indicate Martinez will continue to have temporary primary physical custody, with Berry permitted to see Maceo but not have overnight visits. The judge also rejected Martinez's request for further restrictions during holidays.
 
The proceedings have involved testimony from both parents and other people connected to the family. Maceo was allowed to testify in a closed hearing, while Berry's daughter, Nahla Aubry, submitted a sworn statement saying she had never witnessed her mother physically abuse her younger brother.
 
Berry has argued that the dispute should focus on her son's welfare rather than allegations of domestic violence. Martinez, meanwhile, has maintained that his actions are motivated by concerns for Maceo's safety.
