Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie labeled 'bad parents' amid reports of divorce settlement after 7 years of legal battle
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After seven tumultuous years of legal wrangling, Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt appear to be nearing a resolution in their bitter divorce saga.
Court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com reveal that both Jolie and Pitt have exchanged comprehensive financial information, including bank statements, income and expenses, and various other financial records. This exchange marks a crucial step towards finalizing their divorce settlement.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie edge closer to resolving lengthy divorce battle
The contentious divorce proceedings began in 2016 when Jolie filed for divorce following an incident aboard a private airplane, alleging that Pitt was intoxicated and engaged in physical altercations with her and their children. Although authorities investigated the matter, no criminal charges were filed.
Jolie later filed a federal lawsuit against the FBI, seeking records related to the investigation and alleging that she learned about Pitt not being charged through the media instead of proper channels. The lawsuit remains pending.
Initially granted joint custody by a private judge, Pitt faced setbacks when it was revealed that the judge had undisclosed ties to his legal team. Jolie successfully appealed the joint custody decision, citing bias on the part of the judge.
Following the appeals court ruling, Jolie's lawyer expressed satisfaction with the decision, emphasizing the importance of ethical conduct in determining the well-being of the children involved.
After Brad lost his appeal, Angelina's lawyer said, "Ms Jolie is focused on her family and pleased that her children's wellbeing will not be guided by unethical behavior. She welcomes the California Supreme Court's decision to refuse review of the unanimous Court of Appeal decision."
Despite progress in the divorce proceedings, the former couple remains embroiled in disputes, notably over Jolie's sale of her stake in a French winery, purchased during their relationship, to a Russian oligarch. Pitt has contested the sale in court, seeking its reversal.
During a December 2023 interview, Angelina spoke about her divorce from Brad. She said about their children, "They are the closest people to me and my life, and they’re my close friends. We’re seven very different people, which is our strength.”
Angelina said she took a seven-year break from her career because "we had to heal." She added, “There are things we needed to heal from.”
