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.
