Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt having troubles dividing their properties

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt having troubles dividing their properties. One of Brad's closest confidantes confirmed, "He's anxious to sell, but she wants to keep it as a continuing revenue source".

"And that really is just the tip of the iceberg - they can't agree on anything other than a few minor points and are completely at loggerheads over the major issues".

"It has become a financial minefield for lawyers and accountants on both sides that will take ages to figure out."

Beverly Hills divorce lawyer Jenna Spatz said, "If Brad or Angelina want to keep certain properties, they will have to 'buy out' the other person at what both parties agree is a fair price".

"Even where a prenuptial agreement is in place, as in this case, if both sides can't reach a deal on valuation, then negotiations do tend to become drawn-out and hostile".

"When you are dealing with multiple properties or possessions, the whole scenario is magnified. Division of assets and money is never easy - and the wealthier a couple is, the harder it can get."

"Most actors usually only receive flat salaries, but A-list stars can also command hefty royalties in the form of percentages of a film's profits".

"This can pay dividends for decades from things like DVD sales and TV streaming deals".

"These income sources are considered a form of 'property', so if a movie was made while they were together, it will be considered a 'marital property' which, in California, means a 50/50 split."
