Is Angelina Jolie intentionally prolonging her custody battle with Brad Pitt? According to an insider, it certainly appears that way.
Jolie and Pitt, who separated in September 2016, have been locked in a protracted custody dispute over their six children: Maddox (20), Pax (18), Zahara (17), Shiloh (16), and twins Knox and Vivienne (13). Despite years of legal wrangling, the case remains unresolved.
“It’s evident to Brad that Angelina has been deliberately stalling the process,” a source told Us Weekly. “He’s constantly working with his legal team to file the necessary paperwork and respond to her claims, but progress is slow due to continuous legal hurdles and disputes between their lawyers.”
Meanwhile, Pitt, 58, has been keeping a low profile. “Brad has been staying at home and occasionally spends time in his art studio,” the source revealed. “He’s busy with various projects, constantly brainstorming ideas for his production company, Plan B.”
As previously reported by OK!, Pitt has confided in friends that Jolie “will never agree to joint custody and aims to delay until the children are adults.” Another insider added that Pitt fears his children “will want nothing to do with him once they turn 18.”
Despite the challenges, “Brad will not give up the fight,” the source emphasized. The custody battle has been fraught with tension since their split. It was reported that an argument broke out during a private jet flight, and their son Maddox allegedly stepped in to defend Jolie.
Although Pitt was later cleared by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, the incident added to the complexity of the custody dispute.
In a related development, OK! reported in April that a woman identified as “Jane Doe” filed a lawsuit against the FBI concerning an assault investigation involving her ex-husband.
U.S. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell disclosed that the documents describe an incident where an ex-spouse “physically and verbally assaulted” Jane Doe on a private plane in front of their children. It is speculated but not confirmed that Jolie might be the plaintiff.
