According to TMZ, the marriage unraveled in the past week after they hit a 'breaking point.'
They had been fighting over his January incident at LAX, where Olivier hit airport employee Ronaldo Owens with a car seat, pushing him to the ground. Halle and their son were also there. A $5 million lawsuit was filed in mid October against Halle and Olivier for the attack.
This 'exacerbated their conflicts,' it was reported.

As far as the divorce, the site is claiming that Berry made the filing and it was added that the two have a prenup. According to Celebrity Net Worth she has a fortune of $80m.
'The expectation on Halle's part is for a quick, non-contentious divorce,' said a source.

A source insisted to People that Halle - who told InStyle in 2007 'I will never, never get married again' - was 'okay.'
