Their marriage lasted two years and their bitter divorce has dragged on for four years and eight months. Yet there is still no end in sight for soured lovebirds Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Last month it seemed Brad had reason to pop the champagne when he won long-term 50/50 custody of his five youngest children, aged between 12 and 17.
But days later – furious that Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 12, weren’t allowed to testify in court – Angelina applied to have the couple’s family court judge thrown off the case. If she succeeds, it will result in the custody decision being overturned and the couple will be back to square one.
“This has turned into the Godzilla of Hollywood divorce cases,” says an insider. “They haven’t even started negotiating the separation of their financial assets yet. Brad and Ange are still fighting tooth-and-nail over the kids and their legal bills have run into many, many millions of dollars.”
Fury star Brad, 57, has added a new top-drawer attorney to his legal team to help fight Angelina’s latest move, with the matter due to come before the appeal court in California on July 9.
