It seems like the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt divorce has been dragging on for years. There's a good reason for that – it has been. It's been four years that the former couple have been battling it out in court. Now, their divorce has encountered another twist and turn. Jolie has fired one of her attorneys, or perhaps the attorney quit; that isn’t clear in the paperwork Jolie's team filed with the court. To bring you up to speed, the reason the divorce has been taking so long to be completed is because Jolie is fighting Pitt's request to share custody of their kids 50/50.
This isn’t the first time Jolie has let go of her lawyer. In 2018, she parted ways with high-profile divorce attorney Laura Wasser when the battle between Jolie and Pitt reportedly became too venomous and nasty. Wasser's style is to try to get divorcing couples to compromise, something Jolie hasn’t been willing to do when it comes to the custody agreement between her and Pitt. The custody dispute has become a complex issue, involving numerous witnesses and experts.
Jolie and Pitt have brought their personal assistants, bodyguards, security experts, child psychologists, doctors, and one of Jolie's co-stars into the custody trial. In all, 21 people will be testifying in the trial to determine the custody agreement. Jolie and Pitt have six children ranging in age from 12 to 19, and the stakes are high for both parents as they navigate through this challenging process.

One of the big issues in the custody agreement is the fact that Jolie wants to take their kids and move abroad. Pitt is strongly opposed to having his kids move to a foreign country. As this saga continues to unfold, both parties are leveraging their resources to secure their desired outcomes, making it a high-profile case that keeps the public's attention.
