Brad Pitt Shut Down By California Supreme Court In Battle With Ex Angelina Jolie Over Joint Custody
Oct. 27 2021, Published 6:23 p.m. ET
Brad Pitt was shut down in his attempt to convince the California Supreme Court to intervene in his custody battle with Angelina Jolie.
According to court records obtained by Radar, the higher court denied Pitt's petition for review & application for stay.
In August, Pitt's legal team filed the petition after the California Appellate Court sided with Angelina in a battle over the private judge who helped mediate their divorce.
Pitt wanted the Supreme Court to take a look at the decision due to his belief they ruled incorrectly.
Brad was upset after the Appellate Court disqualified the judge working on his custody battle. Angelina had demanded the judge be disqualified due to him failing to disclose all of his ties to Brad's lawyers. Before the Appellate Court heard the case, the judge in question ruled Pitt deserved 50/50 custody of his kids with Angelina.
The actress was not pleased with this decision and has been fighting her in court for years.
In his argument, Pitt claimed the decision to disqualify the judge should not void the joint custody decision. He believed the ruling was made after a lengthy trial with expert witnesses.
The petition read, “After more than four years of contentious litigation, every day of which has harmed the children and their father, an important and considered custody decision will be entirely undone as a result of an administrative error that is wholly unrelated to the merits of the custody dispute itself.”
