Angelina Jolie's children plead with her to settle custody battle with Brad Pitt as war threatens to engulf family
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children want them to settle their year-long legal feud. The actress filed for divorce from him in 2016 and a source revealed that "the war is far from over."
"Angie can't help herself. She still wants payback for Brad's part in ruining their marriage. Meanwhile, he has been sober and much more clearheaded about where they both went wrong, so he's refusing to back down anymore. He's had enough and won't just roll over and give Angelina what she wants," said the insider, according to Radar Online.
'Angelina doesn't want to let her fight for sole custody go'
The children were struggling in the middle of Jolie and Pitt's split as the fight for custody over the children continued. Among the children, the eldest ones are Maddox, 21, Pax, 19, and Zahara, 18, who are all legal adults now. The rest of the children are Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 14, and are at the age where they are able to form opinions on where they wish to reside.
"Angelina doesn't want to let her fight for sole custody go, but the children are growing up, and even they tell their mom it's time to stop," said the source. "The kids are fine with Brad. With maybe the exception of Maddox, they all actually like him. That really gets under Angie's skin. If she has her way, she'll continue to battle Brad for years. It's become a part of her," added the insider.
'Brad would have settled things a long time ago'
Jolia and Pitt's scandalous affair began in 2005 while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. The duo fell in love during the filming of 'Mr & Mrs Smith' and got married nine years later in 2014. They then broke up after just two years of their marriage.
"Angie goes through periods of wanting to move on from Brad and live her life and then pure resentment toward him," the source stated. "Brad would have settled things a long time ago, and at this point, he's spent millions on legal fees. They both have. The situation is ridiculous," added the insider, according to Radar Online.
Apart from their battle over custody, Jolie and Pitt are currently in the middle of a feud over their French winery, Miraval as the 'Moneyball' actor sued Jolie for selling her shares as he claimed her action was illegal.
