Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt still at loggerheads over one asset as nasty divorce ends

Warring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally reached an agreement in their vicious eight-year divorce. However, the former couple remain at loggerheads over their £50million French chateau and vineyard they once jointly owned. Jolie’s lawyer said the Maria actress has been left “exhausted” after the long-running battle over their children and £319m fortune.
Pitt, 61, and Jolie, 49, 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. “More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr Pitt,” the Tomb Raider star’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 said they give up the right to any future spousal financial support but gave no other details. A judge will need to sign off on the agreement. Jolie and Pitt were Hollywood’s most famous A-list for 12 years, two of them as a married couple. The Oscar winners have six children together. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 after a private jet flight from Europe during which she said Pitt was abusive towards her and their children.
The FBI and the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services investigated Pitt’s actions on the flight and deemed no action needed to be taken. A judge in 2019 declared them divorced and single, but the splitting of assets and child custody needed to be separately settled.
