Jolie’s lawyer ‘set to quit’ as divorce battle gets ugly

DIVORCE negotiations between former Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have intensified as the custody battle over their six children rages on.

A new report claims that Jolie, 43, has become so hostile and uncompromising throughout the split that her lawyer Laura Wasser is on the verge of quitting and has “made it known” to Jolie because it’s become too “venomous”.

A source close to Pitt, 54, told TMZ that they believe the Maleficent actress wants “to kill any relationship he has with his kids”.

They also claim that there has been much anger on Jolie’s part, adding, “She’s fuelled with anger and has gotten ridiculously unreasonable.”

Ms Wasser, who has handled the famous divorces of stars such as Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Heidi Klum and Seal, as well as Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, promotes settlements and co-parenting.

Jolie and Pitt split in 2016 following allegations of child abuse against Pitt during an incident aboard a private plane.

The details of the duo’s divorce have yet to be finalised, especially over how much time Pitt gets with their six children; Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, Vivienne, 10 and Knox, 10.

TMZ claims the Wanted actress has already hired another law firm to take over when Ms Wasser officially drops the case.
