1. The Brangelina couple has been together for 12 years, so their breakup announcement shocked fans. Many fans of this couple have supported them even in the most difficult moments. Since the divorce became public, it has attracted a lot of attention from public opinion. This couple had 6 adopted children, and all 6 were dragged into the divorce.

At the time of their separation announcement, both Pitt and Jolie issued their own statements. People magazine covered both. Jolie’s statement said that “this decision was made for the good of the entire family. I have no comment at this time, and ask for privacy during this difficult time.”

Meanwhile, Pitt’s statement said: “I am very saddened by this incident, but the most important thing right now is our children. I hope the press gives them the space they deserve during this difficult time.”

People magazine at that time also mentioned a rumor that the divorce stemmed from Jolie discovering that Pitt was “stealthy” with co-star Marion Cottilard. Unfortunately, there are countless media outlets simultaneously reporting rumors about the cause of the divorce, so perhaps up to now no one knows the truth behind this separation.

Vanity Fair news agency once compared the long and complicated divorce of the once powerful couple: “Jolie and Pitt’s divorce process will last longer than all of our lives.” The magazine also calls this an “infinite war”, each side tries to show a beautiful image in the media but gradually reveals the ugly hidden corners of the once beautiful love.

Since filing for divorce in September 2016, Jolie and Pitt have caused a lot of press. But everyone was surprised when, after nearly 2 years, the divorce was still not completed. Even with the latest developments, it seems like it will be a long time from completion.

2. In June this year, Jolie and Pitt reached a temporary custody agreement, through which the actor has the right to visit his children more than before. This is great progress after nearly 2 years of arguments and disputes. But an unexpected turn of events later made things more complicated. On August 7, the court issued a ruling requiring Jolie to limit interference with Pitt’s right to contact his children. Specifically, the court issued very detailed items that the actress must comply with, including: detailed upcoming meeting schedule, the right to freely call and text with her children without being controlled by Jolie, and limit.

Analyzing with People Magazine, lawyer David Glass commented that this is a rare and unusual ruling from the court, showing signs of division between the two sides. For a long time, the court has tended to balance the influence between fathers and mothers so that children can develop healthily, but to the point of having to issue a request like this is unusual.

“There are signs that the court wants to make a clear distinction between discord and division in this case. Dissonance is when a child alienates himself from one parent because that person has acted unkindly toward the child in the past, such as yelling or assaulting him. Separation is when one parent intentionally limits the child’s contact with the other parent, speaks ill of the other parent to the child so that the child becomes hateful and shunned by the other parent,” attorney Glass told People Magazine.

Although not confirmed by name, the court’s ruling shows signs of division in this divorce case. For a long time, Pitt repeatedly affirmed to the media that he did not have the necessary visitation rights with his children, and that it was difficult to contact his children when he was far away. Jolie’s side has repeatedly accused the actor of being aggressive, an alcoholic, and not safe for her children to be around.

Jolie was at the peak of her advantage when her side released information that Pitt was an alcoholic, had anger control problems and almost hit his eldest son Maddox on a flight. At the same time, when Pitt tried to contact his children, Maddox expressed his distance and did not want to meet his father. At that time, Jolie was quite supportive of public opinion in gaining full custody of her children.

But for a long time afterward, Pitt gradually regained the sympathy of public opinion, helping to regain his image. First was a tearful interview on GQ sharing about the pain after a broken marriage, followed by meetings with children, careful statements about the value of family…

3. On November 2, AP news agency and then a series of other media agencies reported that Angelina and Brad Pitt had begun the process of property division. This problem is expected to last because the couple bought several properties together during their 12 years of marriage.

According to documents published by The Blast, Angelina has just informed the court that she has transferred all of her financial information to Brad Pitt and his legal team. This is said to be an important turning point in the process of resolving the divorce case of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and is the effort of both after a long period of disagreement.

The source said that Brad Pitt will also provide his financial information to Angelina in the near future. This actor’s personal assets are much larger than Angelina’s assets. According to statistics from Celebritynetworth, Brad has about 300 million USD while Angelina has 100 million USD.

One of the most controversial points in the matter of dividing the couple’s assets is the division of the Miraval wine estate in France. The couple bought the 500-acre Chateau estate for $60 million and planned to give their children the right to own and operate it in the future.
