LOS ANGELES:

Jolie and Pitt signed off on a default declaration filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, saying they have entered into a written agreement on their marital and property rights.

The settlement was first reported by People magazine.

"More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt," Jolie's attorney, James Simon, said in a statement.

"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. This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over."

The filing says they give up the right to any future spousal financial support, but gives no other details.

A judge will need to sign off on the agreement. An email late on Monday night to Pitt's attorney seeking comment was not immediately answered.
