After separating more than two years ago, Brangelina is no more: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been officially designated as single, while they continue to negotiate towards finalizing their divorce settlement.
A divorce court judge has filed a bifurcated judgment legally rendering Brad Pitt, 55, and Angelina Jolie, 43, as single.
Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. An intense custody battle over the couple’s six children ensued.
Pitt was investigated over an alleged altercation with their eldest son, Maddox, but was cleared by both the FBI and children’s services who found no evidence of any wrongdoing.
The final details for the divorce settlement of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is still being negotiated.
“A custody arrangement was agreed to weeks ago, and has been signed by both parties and the judge,” said Jolie’s lawyer, Samantha Bley DeJean, in a statement.
“The agreement, which is based on the recommendations of the child custody evaluator, eliminates the need for a trial. The filing and details of the agreement are confidential to protect the best interests of the children.”
However, further specific terms of their divorce remains in the process of negotiation, which includes custodial arrangements and financial settlements involving the children.
In 2018, a judge ordered Jolie to grant Pitt more access to the children, otherwise, she would risk losing primary custody.
Reportedly, in November 2018, the couple reached a custody agreement over their six children.
Last August, Jolie filed court documents requesting the judge finalize their divorce, which also requested Pitt to pay child support, as well as, retroactive pay for amounts he allegedly missed per an informal agreement.
Pitt’s attorney, Lance Spiegel, called the allegations of failure to pay child support as “unnecessary” and “a thinly veiled effort to manipulate media coverage.”
