Angelina Jolie Sets Ultimatum On Divorce With Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie has always been described as a very determined person whether as an actress or in her advocacies. Now, there’s another thing she has set her mind on to achieving by the year’s end: the finalization of her divorce with top actor Brad Pitt.

Jolie’s lawyers filed on Tuesday a request for a case-management hearing in Los Angeles Superior Court. The document reveals that Jolie’s lawyers will work with Pitt’s attorneys to make sure that both actors will be single again before 2018 is over.

Another intriguing and potentially controversial revelation from the court filing is the one that contends Pitt “has paid no meaningful child support” since the two celebrities separated. It says that Pitt has failed to live up to their informal financial arrangements. The filing says Jolie will seek a court order to get retroactive payments from Pitt.

Pitt’s friends, however, contest such claims that the actor is a deadbeat father to his children with Jolie. They disclose to entertainment media that Pitt had, in fact, given hundreds of thousands a month. They counter-claim that Jolie is just trying to smear Pitt’s reputation by claiming he has been negligent of his fatherly duties and obligations to their children.

Another friend of Pitt was quoted by Page Six as saying: “Brad has completely lived up to his commitments as far as child support and will continue to do so.”

Pitt’s pals are also speculating that Jolie pre-emptively filed said papers as a warning shot because Pitt had informed her he wanted to restart the formal divorce process.

The former couple’s separation has been marred by ugly spats and accusations, including one that once claimed that Pitt has been violent towards their eldest child, Maddox in a plane incident. Pitt has been cleared of such controversy, however.
