One source said the relationship is "still icy" ... despite people like singer Tank claiming the two had conversations and things were fixed.

Halle Berry hasn't been able to see her son Maceo much in the last month and a half, and her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, wants more dough because it's costing him more to care for the boy the lion's share of the time.

Remember, before the incident between Halle and her 13-year-old son that went down September 26th, she and Olivier had 50/50 joint custody. Olivier beelined it for court to get a TRO, claiming Halle put Maceo in a headlock. The judge issued the TRO and said for the time being, Halle would only get occasional visits with her son, which amount to 18%, not 50%.

Now Olivier is saying as long as that order remains in place, it's costing him more every month because he has Maceo 82% of the time. So he's asking the judge to up the ante on child support.
