The Oscar winner split from Oliver Martinez in October of 2015.

Halle Berry filed for divorce from her third husband, Oliver Martinez, in October of 2015. However, the divorce has not been finalized. Now it’s being reported that the Oscar-winning actress will represent herself in court.

Entertainment Tonight reports, “Her former attorney, Marina Zakiyan Beck, signed off on the change on July 30. Berry signed off on Aug. 11. Meanwhile, 54-year-old Martinez is being represented by celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser.”
Wasser has represented Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Heidi Klum and others.

It’s not clear why Berry, 54, is representing herself but legal docs reportedly claim they are both asking for joint custody of their 6-year-old son, Maceo.
