Brad Pitt will call 21 witnesses to gain chances for 50-50 split

Brad Pitt will call 21 witnesses to gain chances for 50-50 split. A source said, “The kids have been shielded to a large extent, but they’re old enough to have a pretty strong sense of what’s going on and it breaks Brad’s heart to know they’ve been at the centre of this wretched battle for such a long time".

“Angelina is still the ultimate mama bear who insists she’ll walk through fire to protect them from anyone — even their own father — and she’s proud of the strength and maturity the kids have shown throughout this nightmare process".

“There’s been a hell of a lot of finger pointing and sniping from each of their respective camps for months now, ever since it became clear they weren’t going to be able to compromise face to face".

“Now the communication between Brad and Angie is virtually non-existent, and they’re both digging in harder than they’ve ever done before.”

“Brad and Angelina have been at a total impasse for longer than anyone can remember".

“They’ve hired the best attorneys money can buy and any previous hope of coming to a civilised compromise outside of court has well and truly dissolved now".

“It’s incredibly sad it has come to this. There’s unlikely to be an official ruling until right before Christmas and, of course, in the meantime it’s all hanging over the family’s heads like the darkest of clouds".

“Brad and Angelina spent many weeks, if not months, working with their legal teams to draw up lists of witnesses who’d help strengthen their respective arguments".

“In Brad’s case the list is longer because he feels he has to cite as many anecdotes as possible from credible characters who can vouch for his parenting skills, as well as the kids’ needs".

“And with Angelina currently having the bulk of time with the children, there’s a view that he’s got to convince the judge to change the current situation".

“He wants a straight 50 per cent of custody, with visitation dates and overnight stays set in stone.”
