The conclusion of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s divorce is unlikely happening soon as the estranged couple reportedly prepares for trial over the custody of their six children. The actress allegedly wants to acquire full custody rights.
Several reports came out this week that Jolie and Pitt are set to meet in court soon as the trial for the custody of their children begins next month. There were also claims that the actress is seeking a sole custody while his estranged husband is fine with joint custody.
Meanwhile, a source of PEOPLE denied that the actress is demanding full custody. The same report said Jolie and Pitt are continuously working on a settlement without a court trial. And Brangelina’s lawyers reportedly requested a judge for more time — until the end of June 2019, to be exact — to do so.
However, PEOPLE obtained documents that confirmed the “trial on the bifurcated issue of custody is to begin on December 4.” On the other hand, TMZ said Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt enlisted a private judge to hear their cases for the settlement of their custody rights and division of property. The lack of a prenuptial agreement adds to the complications of the proceedings, the report added.
Since they filed for divorce in 2016, Jolie has the primary physical custody of their children. But earlier this year, a judge warned she might lose that status if she will not let their kids maintain a relationship with Pitt.
The Blast shared court documents that ordered her to allow her children to communicate with their father over the phone anytime and without her supervision. Meanwhile, the judge allowed 17-year-old Maddox to decide on his own about spending time with his dad.
Earlier this year, Angelina Jolie’s camp alleged Brad Pitt of not giving “meaningful child support” since their split. The actor later argued he has provided more than $1.3 million for the kids since the separation in 2016. Pitt also revealed that Jolie bought a new house with an $8 million she loaned from the actor.
