Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie reach divorce settlement after eight-year legal battle

• Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt officially signed off on the divorce paperwork on Monday, December 30.
• However, the battle over a French chateau they once jointly owned is still ongoing.

After an eight-year legal battle, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finalized their divorce settlement.

According to reports, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt signed the necessary paperwork on December 30.

The divorce proceedings began in September 2016, when Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, citing irreconcilable differences.

Angelina Jolie’s divorce lawyer, James Simon, stated that his client is relieved to have reached this milestone

He said:

“Frankly, Angelina is exhausted.

“More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt.

“She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.”

The couple had been married for two years and had dated for a decade prior.

While the divorce settlement has been reached, a dispute over a jointly owned French chateau remains ongoing.

In 2021, Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt’s Eldest Son Maddox Testified Against the actor In Court.

Us Weekly reported that the university student, 19, appeared to take Angelina’s side as he spoke during their lengthy custody battle.

Maddox’s testimony was allegedly not “very flattering” toward his father, Brad Pitt.

A source also revealed that Maddox wants to legally remove ‘Pitt’ from his name, something his mother ‘doesn’t support.’

“He doesn’t use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren’t legal and instead uses Jolie. Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn’t support.”

In addition to Maddox, the famous exes share Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12.

On March 12, the 45-year-old actress filed new court documents that alleged “domestic violence”.

The Sun confirmed that Angelina, 45, filed court papers earlier this month to “offer proof and support” of “testimony regarding domestic violence.”

The actress made no indication the “domestic violence” matter mentioned in the documents was related to her estranged husband, 57.
