Halle Berry files to represent herself in divorce case with her ex-husband, Oliver Martinex

American actress, Halle Berry wants to represent herself in court in her divorce case with ex-husband, Olivier Martinez. 

 

In court documents obtained by ET on Tuesday August 25, the "Monster's Ball" actress filed to represent herself in the divorce case. 

 

According to the documents, her former attorney, Marina Zakiyan Beck, signed off on the change on July 30 with the 54-year-old signing off on August 11,

 

As for her ex-husband, 54, he is being represented by celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser.

 

The former couple filed for divorce in October 2015 after two years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences and asking for joint custody of their 6-year-old son, Maceo. 

 

"It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce," Berry and Martinez said in a joint statement at the time. ‎"We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son. We wish each other nothing but happiness in life and we hope that you respect our and, most importantly, our children's privacy as we go through this difficult period."

 

TMZ previously reported that the pair's divorce was finalized in December 2016, with the two agreeing on sharing physical and legal custody of their son.

 

But in May 2018, the gossip noted that Berry and Martinez's case was still active because they failed to file a formal custody arrangement and were due back in court.

 

Halle Berry was previously married to baseball player David Justice and to singer Eric Benet. She also shares a 12-year-old daughter, Nahla, with her ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry.

Nigeria will break if we release list of those who have received contracts from NDDC- Cairo Ojougboh

The executive director of projects at the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Cairo Ojougboh, says Nigeria will break if the commission releases the list of highly placed Nigerians who have benefitted from contracts awarded by the commission.   The NDDC has been in the spotlight after the National Assembly launched an investigation into allegations of financial recklessness in the commission. The investigation took a different turn when the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, accused members of the National Assembly of being the largest beneficiaries of contracts awarded by the Commission.   Peter Nwaoboshi, senate committee chairman on NDDC; Matthew Urhoghide, senate committee chairman on public accounts, and James Manager, senator representing Delta South were some of the beneficiaries listed by the minister. The Senate and the National Assembly have also denied the allegations of its members benefitting from the contracts awarded by the ...

Woman bags jail sentence after deliberately sawing off her hand to claim £925,000 in insurance scam

Adlesic told hospital authorities that she injured herself while sawing branches.      Just days before the incident in early 2019, police investigations found Adlesic's partner, Sebastien Abramov searched online for information on artificial hands work. This was used as evidence that the amputation was part of an insurance scam plot.    Their plan was foiled after police recovered the appendage and surgeons reattached it. The 22-year-old lady however protested her innocence during her trial, saying she would never have deliberately chopped off her hand .   She said;    "No one wants to be cri...
