Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie spent millions of dollars for an unending divorce battle

A source revealed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie each spent $1 million pursuing a divorce that began in 2016 and could continue for another six years.

Actress Angelina filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in September 2016 citing irreconcilable differences. Legal experts in Los Angeles say the couple each spent more than $1 million on legal costs.

Divorce lawyer Kelly Chang Rickert exclusively told DailyMail.com: "I think this could become one of the most expensive divorces in Hollywood history."

According to this lawyer, both are hiring reputable lawyers to add to their legal teams. Hourly rates can range from $1,000 to $1,500, and it is estimated that these attorneys may charge 40 or 50 hours a week. They also hire a separate judge to hear the case, which can cost up to $10,000 a day and other expenses.

The lawyer added that Angelina Jolie's change of attorney is a sign that she is not giving up. Those with enough money will usually continue to fight. Angelina Jolie has the ability to do that.

Another fee that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie incur besides attorneys and court costs is expert witness fees, including mental health professionals. Attorney Joe Spirito said that depending on the type of specialist, a mental health or financial professional can receive about $500 an hour.

When a guardianship assessor is in the mental health field they can expect to receive around $100,000 for this work. In the case of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, which lasted so many years and had many children, it is not surprising that the total legal costs of each of them more than $1 million.

Mr and Mrs Smith have yet to reach an agreement on the division of their multimillion-dollar fortune and custody of their five underage children.

Angie was recently reported to have sold a painting by former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill that Brad had given her. The piece of art sold at auction in London for a record $11.5 million earlier in March, money spent on her divorce battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt.

Currently Brad Pitt is trying to get 50% custody of 5 children and Angelina wants to keep full custody of the children.

Initially, Judge John W. Ouderkirk ruled that the star Troy won the case and he was given equal time to look after the children. But after only a few months, the California state appeals court decided to disqualify Ouderkirk for "not being transparent in his relationship with Pitt and the actor's attorneys".

Thus, all previous judgments of Ouderkirk are no longer valid. Jolie and Pitt must enter a new phase in the dispute.

In addition to raising children, male star Maleficent filed a request to withdraw from business ties with her ex-husband. Currently, the villa and winery of Château Miraval in the south of France, jointly owned by two stars, have not been clearly divided.

The youngest child of the once powerful duo, twins Knox and Vivienne, is only 12 years old, so the custody battle could drag on for another six years until they reach the age of 18. year old.

Another source revealed: "Others may run out of money but Angelina is not, she is willing and able to continue to pay for lawyers."

One of the major assets that was subjected to fierce scrutiny in the divorce was the couple's vineyard and Chateau Miraval castle in Correns, France.

Brad and Angie purchased the property for $67 million in 2008 and married there in August 2014.

Shortly after the actress filed for divorce in 2016, it was revealed that Brad Pitt was being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Family and Children's Services in Los Angeles amid a report Alleged that he had "verbally and physically abused his children" on the family's private jet. The actor was later cleared of the allegation that he used violence against his son Maddox

Since 2017, Brad Pitt has been engaged in art creation with a British sculptor to relieve his heart after his divorce from Angelina. He is also said to have dated a few girls but is currently single
