Actress Angelina Jolie has filed new court documents claiming that she has proof of domestic violence inflicted by her former husband Brad Pitt. It may also include testimony from their children. The Blast reported on March 17 that she made it clear that she is willing to offer “proof and authority in support” of her allegations of domestic violence during her divorce trial with Pitt.
In an article by The Star, it is reported that besides Jolie has also filed documents that could get their kids Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne to testify in their divorce proceedings, but Pitt would also have to grant permission for them to be involved. Maddox, Zahara and Pax can also testify in the trial, but they do not need parental consent as they are of legal age.
In 2016, Jolie first accused Pitt of violence towards their son Maddox. According to her, he got physical with the teen over a dispute while aboard a private jet. The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the allegation but cleared Pitt of any wrongdoing after a review.
Based on a March 17 report by The Sun, the upcoming trial between Jolie and Pitt will determine custody of their children and the division of their joint estate. In 2016, the Maleficent star filed for divorce from Pitt citing irreconcilable differences, after two years of marriage. Custody of their children has been the primary source of friction between Jolie and Pitt. Jolie wants to get sole custody of their six children while Pitt is seeking joint custody.
