High-profile Los Angeles divorce attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan has represented celebrities including Kevin Federline, Charlie Sheen and Paula Abdul.

Although he is not working on Brad and Angelina’s case, he told Us Weekly he believes litegation has already cost the exes “hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not in the millions.”

Mark went on: “And it could be more if they start over again. Nothing is more expensive than a hotly contested custody [dispute].

“I’m sure both of these people can afford to [keep litigating], which is not the reason to do it, but that’s probably not going to be a major factor for either of them given their respective wealth.”

Last week, a California appeals court disqualified the private judge in Angelina and Brad’s divorce case.

The 2nd District Court of Appeal sided with Angelina on the issue of Judge John W. Ouderkirk’s insufficient disclosure of his business relationships with Brad Pitt’s attorneys.

According to the Associated Press, the court ruled: “Judge Ouderkirk’s ethical breach, considered together with the information disclosed concerning his recent professional relationships with Pitts counsel, might cause an objective person, aware of all the facts, reasonably to entertain a doubt as to the judge’s ability to be impartial. Disqualification is required.”

This meant the custody fight over the couple’s five minor children, which was appeared to be coming to an end, may have to start over.

A spokesperson for Brad told The Sun following the decision: “The appeals court ruling was based on a technical procedural issue. The facts haven’t changed.

“There is an extraordinary amount of factual evidence which led the judge—and the many experts who testified—to reach their clear conclusion about what is in the children’s best interests. We will continue to do what’s necessary legally based on the detailed findings of what’s best for the children.”

It was also recently alleged Angelina’s “orphan” son Maddox’s biological parents “may not have been dead” before his 2002 adoption.

Sarath Mounh, a former aid worker who helped the actress adopt her oldest son, said he isn’t “100% sure” if Maddox’s parents were alive at the time of his adoption.

The new claims come after Brad was awarded joint custody of their six children following a long court battle – after she filed for divorce in 2016.

The pair has three biological children, twins Vivienne and Knox, 12, and Shiloh, 15, along with Maddox, Zahara, 16, and Pax, 17, who were adopted from orphanages in Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam respectively.

Angelina and Brad tied the knot in 2014, and their divorce was finalized in 2019.

Earlier this month, Angelina and The Weeknd were spotted on another secret date at a private concert in Los Angeles.

According to Instagram’s Deuxmoi, the two stars were seen at “Mustafa’s private concert.”
