Fans all over the world were left heartbroken when Hollywood's power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie announced their separation in 2016. The couple has since then been embroiled in a nasty legal fight which has led to a lot of mudslinging from both sides.&nbsp; 
 
Eight years on, the couple will finally settle their divorce but creases in their settlement are yet to be eased out.&nbsp;

Sources close to the situation reveal that despite progress and children's involvement, there are still sticking points, and much to the surprise of many the divorce is “not done yet.”

<h2>8 years later, Jolie and Pitt's divorce case remains unsettled</h2>

The high-profile divorces seem far from over despite a painful family rift. "Both sides are still talking," a source close to the matter told People on May 10, stressing that the couple is slowly approaching their final divorce settlements, "but it's not done yet."&nbsp;

The divorce was originally filed by Jolie in 2016 but the former couple have not been able to agree on various issues. The couple shares six kids, including Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Pax, 20, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne 15. Over the past 8 years, many have accused Jolie of distancing the children from Brad. Four of them have already dropped Pitt from their last name, subtly indicating their chosen side in the legal tussle.

<h2>Too many legal issues yet to be sorted</h2>

While Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were declared legally single in 2019 their divorce is yet to be finalised.&nbsp; 
 
The couple, among other things, have disagreed over the custody of their children. In fact, Jolie and Pitt have not been able to settle any of the matters so far.&nbsp;

The 2012 incident on a private jet where Jolie accused Pitt of attacking her in front of kids in an inebriated state still affects their situation and increases the complexities in the case. 
&nbsp; 
Moreover, the argument about Château Miraval, the French vineyard they jointly owned and where they got married, is getting nastier with each passing trial.&nbsp; 
 
Recently a source revealed that Pitt, 60, has no contact with his adult kids and only meets his younger kids thanks to a visitation agreement given by the court.&nbsp; 
 
"He has virtually no contact with the adult kids. His engagement with the younger kids is more limited in recent months because of his filming schedule," the source told People. 
 
Earlier this year, Pitt's daughter Shiloh filed for a legal name change after turning 18, and sources revealed that the actor was 'hurt' by this move. “He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name," the insider said, "but he’s still happy with Ines (de Ramon).” Pitt is reportedly dating Ramon since the beginning of 2023.&nbsp; 
 
The couple made their relationship public recently at the Grand Prix where they were seen holding hands.&nbsp;

Eight years after filing for divorce, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's legal battle is far from over

In the ongoing legal battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, a new set of allegations have emerged against Jolie. According to court documents filed by Tony Webb, a security guard who works for the former couple, Jolie may have influenced her children to “avoid” spending time with their father during visits.&nbsp; 
 
Webb, who worked for Jolie from 2000 to 2020, alleged that he was contacted by a Jolie aide named Michael Vieira, who attempted to prevent two bodyguards from testifying in Jolie's custody battle with Pitt. 
 
According to Webb's statement, Vieira asked him to dissuade the bodyguards from testifying since they had allegedly signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with Jolie. 
 
Despite the NDAs, one of the bodyguards, Ross Foster, expressed his intention to testify about statements he allegedly overheard from Jolie where she encouraged the children to avoid spending time with Pitt during custody visits, reported People magazine.&nbsp; 
 
Paul Murphy, an attorney for Angelina Jolie, dismissed the allegations and claimed Pitt attempted to equate common NDAs with an attempt to cover up his actions. 
 
Murphy emphasised that the case was about power and control, with Jolie seeking separation and health for the family. 
 
In their defence, Pitt's lawyers submitted Webb's declaration to illustrate that Jolie herself had utilised NDAs in the past, undermining her objections to signing them in the context of their legal dispute over their French winery, Chateau Miraval. 
 
The legal battle between Jolie and Pitt has been marked by accusations and counter-accusations, with each party attempting to sway the court in their favour with their claims.&nbsp; 
 
The latest allegations of Jolie allegedly encouraging the children to avoid Pitt during visits add another layer of complexity to the already long and complicated legal battle between the Hollywood exes.

Angelina Jolie encouraged children to avoid spending time with Brad Pitt, says former security guard

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has criticised a judge in court filing after he refused to testify her and Brad Pitt's children in a case related to the couple's divorce. The judge is handling the child custody case in Pitt-Jolie's divorce case.&nbsp;

Jolie has sought to disqualify Judge John Ouderkirk from the divorce case and stated in her filing on Monday that he declined to hear evidence she says is relevant to the children's safety and well-being before issuing a tentative ruling. The documents don't specify on what that evidence may be. Jolie has accused Pitt of domestic violence and had stated that their children would testify if there was a need for it.&nbsp;

"Judge Ouderkirk denied Ms. Jolie a fair trial, improperly excluding her evidence relevant to the children's health, safety, and welfare, evidence critical to making her case," according to the filing in California's Second District Court of Appeal.

The actress also said the judge "has failed to adequately consider" a section of the California courts code, which says it is detrimental to the best interest of the child if custody is awarded to a person with a history of domestic violence.&nbsp;

Jolie sought divorce from Pitt in 2016, days after a disagreement broke out on private flight ferrying the actors and their children from France to Los Angeles. Pitt was accused of being abusive toward his then-15-year-old son during the flight. No charges were filed against the actor after investigations by child welfare officials and the FBI did not yield anything concrete against him. Jolie's lawyer had at that time said that she sought a divorce "for the health of the family." 
 
Pitt and Jolie have six children together of which four are teenagers with the oldest- Maddox being 19 year old. 
 
According to laws in California, children above 14 can testify in court if they wish to. In her new filing, Jolie states that judge has "refused to hear minor teenagers' input in relation to the case.&nbsp; 
 
Reacting to Jolie's filing, Pitt's lawyer stated, "Ouderkirk has conducted an extensive proceeding over the past six months in a thorough, fair manner and reached a tentative ruling and order after hearing from experts and percipient witnesses." 
 
Pitt's filing said the judge found Jolie's testimony "lacked credibility in many important areas, and the existing custody order between the parties must be modified, per Mr. Pitt’s request, in the best interests of the children." 
 
In 2016, when Jolie had filed for divorce, Pitt had asked for joint custody while the actress had sought for single and physical custody of the kids. Over the years, its been reported that the actress has changed her stand with ongoing proceedings.&nbsp; 
 
Jolie, 45, and Pitt, 57, were among Hollywood's most prominent couples for 12 years. They had been married for two years when Jolie filed for divorce. They legally got separated in April 2019 even though other issues remained unresolved including finances and child custody.
