Hollywood Drama Ends: Jolie and Pitt's Divorce Settlement

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finalized their divorce settlement, concluding a long, publicized split. Jolie, who filed for divorce eight years ago, is relieved the process is over. The custody battle, including child abuse allegations, involved both a private judge and a California appeals court.

After an eight-year legal saga, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached a divorce settlement, ending one of Hollywood's most controversial splits. Jolie's lawyer confirmed Tuesday that the divorce settlement is finalized, signed, and filed with the court.

Jolie, who filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences, sought full custody of their six children. This prompted a contentious legal battle, with child abuse allegations affecting the proceedings. However, the FBI found no grounds for charges against Pitt.

Initially, a private judge awarded equal custody, but a California appeals court later vacated this due to impartiality concerns raised by Jolie. Both actors faced scrutiny, but Jolie's lawyer noted her efforts to maintain dignity through the ordeal.
