Angelina Jolie, kids take joint decision as Brad Pitt legal battle conclude

After eight years of a long and arduous battle in court, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally concluded their divorce settlement.

Despite being declared legally single in 2019, the exes officially signed the papers on December 30th, 2024.

The Maria actress had filed to end their two-year marriage back in 2016 following a private jet incident in which Pitt reportedly got violent with her and their children.

Jolie and Pitt share three biological children – Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, now 16 – and three adopted – Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19. The children have reportedly been estranged from their father.

Jolie’s lawyers issued a statement via People Magazine, revealing a major decision they had made.

“More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt,” lawyer James Simon shared. “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.”

He continued, “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 decision also comes amid the ongoing property dispute over the French estate and winery, Château Miraval.

In the years following the divorce filing, the former couple had been battling over the French property. The pair have continued to fight over Miraval throughout 2024, which is not connected to their divorce proceedings.

The Miraval case is still ongoing and awaits a conclusion of its own.
