In new court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the French actor, 60, said that his teen son Maceo wants to address the court "to provide his side of the story" during the former couple's upcoming custody hearings. Martinez said Maceo wants to openly discuss his custody preferences and the alleged incident from September. TMZ was the first to report the news.
"He should have the opportunity to have his voice heard regarding what he experienced that night," Martinez wrote in his declaration. "If he is prevented from addressing the Court regarding these allegations, I fear that he would be dissuaded from reporting problems or potential abuse in the future."

Nahla also commented on how Maceo interacts with their mother. "I believe he loves our mom very much and shares a close bond with her," she wrote. At the same time, I have also witnessed occasions when Maceo has been disrespectful, at times aggressive, and unwilling to follow rules at home."
