2016

Angelina requested physical custody of their six children – Maddox, 21, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 14 – while Brad pushed for both legal and physical guardianship. It was also around this time that Brad was being investigated by the FBI and LAPD for allegedly lashing out at the family on a flight ride, charges he was ultimately acquitted of. Within the year, the two agreed on a temporary custody arrangement.

2017

2017 started off on a rocky note for the former couple with the two releasing a joint statement announcing that all court documents would be kept private. Brad was the first to directly address the split during a GQ interview in May 2017. He explained that they were both trying their best and that spending all this time on a ‘vitriolic, hate-filled’ affair was breaking his heart. Angelina echoed these sentiments in her interview with Vanity Fair in July 2017. The drama presumably took a backseat for the next year or so.

2018

The Jolie-Pitt feud came to the public once again in August 2018, when Angelina accused Brad of not paying her any ‘meaningful’ child support over the past year and a half. Brad hit back, saying he has paid over $9 million in child support since their separation in September 2016.

2019

The most notable development in this divorce case in 2019 was a bifurcated judgment according to which both Angelina and Brad were considered ‘legally single’. To elaborate, both the actors are now single, even though their divorce has not been finalised.

2020

For an interview with Vogue India in June 2020, Angelina took an indirect dig at Brad – “Some people have taken advantage of my silence, and the kids see lies about themselves in the media”, she said. However, the very next month, Brad was spotted moving out of Angelina’s Los Angeles home, indicating that the two are getting ready to share a neutral equation for the sake of their kids.

2021

In March 2021, (formerly sealed) court documents revealed how Angelina was prepared to provide “evidence and authority” against Brad in a domestic violence case. In May, Brad was granted custody of the children, a decision Angelina protested. She also managed to have the presiding judge in her case removed, after the latter failed to reveal the fact that she had a business relationship with Pitt’s lawyers.

2022

The divorce drama was now surrounded by an escalating property dispute. In February, Brad filed suit against Angelina for selling off part of their 1,200-acre Chateau Miraval winery. This was followed by an additional suit filed by him in June with supplemental allegations. In September, the 2016 plane incident hit the media. That same month, a $250 million cross-complaint was filed by Angelina’s former company, Novel, a portion of which alleged that Brad had an alcohol addiction. In October, Angelina doubled down on her domestic violence allegations with an additional filing.

2023

Much of 2023 for Brad was immersed in a series of lawsuits and cross-complaints regarding the winery. However, the real highlight of the year was an old Instagram story from Pax Jolie-Pitt, which said ‘disgusting’ things about Brad’s family life. Part of Pax’s angry note read, “You have no consideration or empathy for your 4 youngest children who tremble in fear in your presence… You can say whatever you want to yourself and the world, but the truth will come out someday”.

This month, 18-year-old Shiloh received legal documents to remove the word Pitt from her name. Once those proceedings are complete, she will be known simply as Shiloh Jolie.
