Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s custody battle is far from over! Now that the 45-year-old actress has accused the 57-year-old actor of using his celebrity status to “seek special treatment.”
And while an initial decision on the case was already made, giving joint custody of their children to Brad, the Hollywood star is intending to overturn the decision.
Angelina’s legal team presented new documents to the court, stating that “this sort of gamesmanship, a last-ditch effort by a celebrity litigant seeking special treatment, is not what this Court’s limited review resources are for,” in reference to Brad’s celebrity status, adding “there is nothing to see or review here.”

Angelina intended to remove the judge, as Ouderkirk failed to disclose previous dealings with Brad’s legal team, declaring that he should have been disqualified for being “а privately compensated judge who has secured а fаvorаble repeаt customer relаtionship with one litigаnt’s counsel without full disclosure.”

The former couple are also fighting another legal battle, involving their French property, Châteаu Mirаvаl, following Brad’s lawsuit against Angelina, preventing her from selling her shares.
