Halle Berry’s daughter is expected to testify in the ongoing domestic violence restraining order case between the actress and her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez.

Berry, 60, appeared to have red and watery eyes as the courtroom reopened Monday afternoon following 13-year-old Maceo’s nearly four-hour testimony.

Both Berry and Martinez, 60, will testify at Los Angeles County Superior Court in the case. Berry’s 18-year-old daughter, Nahla, whom she shares with model Gabriel Aubry, 50, was also listed as a potential witness.

If Nahla testifies, it will take place virtually because she is currently attending school.

In a previous court declaration obtained by Page Six, Nahla wrote that she has never witnessed her mother “hit, slap, choke, grab, or physically abuse Maceo in any way.”

“I have never seen my mom place her hands around Maceo’s neck, put him in a chokehold, restrict his breathing, or engage in any conduct remotely resembling the allegations that have been made against her,” she added.

Additional potential witnesses could include Berry’s fiancé, Van Hunt, staffers at Maceo’s school and other therapists and medical professionals.

Berry’s attorney referenced the “minor’s propensity for dishonesty” as a reason to bring in certain witnesses.

The courtroom will be closed during any testimony involving Maceo or “sensitive medical issues.”

When Judge Shelley Kaufman asked if both parties’ declarations were agreed upon, Martinez’s legal team claimed Berry’s is “riddled with hearsay” and requested it not be entered as evidence.

Berry’s attorneys argued the declarations were not hearsay, but explained why Martinez filed the “frivolous and baseless” domestic violence restraining order application and how his intent was to circumvent court orders.

In a court filing earlier this month, Martinez accused Berry of getting violent with their son during a Sept. 26 incident. Martinez claimed Berry told their son he was “such an idiot” for playing games on a virtual reality headset.

“She grabbed Maceo by the neck and started choking him while shouting, ‘Who is dominant now?! Who is dominant?!'” Martinez claimed in the documents.

Berry denied the allegations through her attorney at the time, calling them “entirely meritless and deliberately misleading.”

In addition to the restraining orders for him and his son, Martinez is requesting sole custody of Maceo. Berry is requesting sole legal custody and wants the court to restore her power over major decisions in the teen’s life.

Despite the earlier emotions Monday, Berry left court smiling, while Martinez walked out without acknowledging his ex.

The hearing will resume at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.
