‘Their battle is far from over!'

As Brad and Angelina’s long-running divorce turns ugly, his ex-wife Jen could be his trump card

- 

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce battle has had more dramatic twists than even the most talented Hollywood scriptwriter could come up with.

And now Woman’s Day has learned that their bitter showdown is about to take an unprecedented turn.

Their split – which began almost four years ago to the day in September 2016 – is set to reach its climax in a Los Angeles courtroom trial in October, where they will quarrel for the last time over custody of their six children and millions of dollars in assets.

Both sides have made no secret of their resentment towards each other, with most of the attacks coming from Camp Jolie, which attempted to paint Brad, 56, as an allegedly unfit father with a supposed drinking problem.

Last year, Angelina was ordered to relinquish unsupervised visitation of their younger children – Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox to her ex – though eldest boys Maddox, 19, and Pax, 16, reportedly chose not to see their dad.

Throughout mediation, Brad worked on his drinking with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous, and insists he’s sober.
