Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce battle cause million in legal costs

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce battle cause million in legal costs and could drag on until another six years. Jolie filed for divorce in September, 2016. They have six kids together.

Their divorce haven't settled partly because they have multi-million fortune and haven't reach a mutual agreement to divide it.

LA divorce attorney Kelly Chang Rickert told DailyMail.com, 'I think this could become one of the most expensive divorce cases in Hollywood history in terms of legal fees'.

'It has been going on for over four years now so it's definitely one of the longest celebrity cases we've ever seen'.

'I believe Angelina and Brad have already spent over $1million each'.

'They are both employing very reputable attorneys and Angelina has already gone through several'.

'Hourly rates may range from between $1,000 to $1,500 and I would estimate that these lawyers may be billing 40 or 50 hours a week at times'.

'They have also hired a private judge who probably bills around $900 to $1,000 an hour, so he is probably costing $10,000 a day'.

'If they used him for a five-day trial, he would probably take $50,000 up front and another $10,000 to review paperwork beforehand'.

'I would say they've paid the judge himself probably close to half a million dollars between them'.

'When Angelina recently sold the painting at auction, people asked if that meant they are close to settling'.

'I actually think she sold it to pay more attorney's fees, that's just my pessimistic divorce lawyer point of view. I wouldn't be surprised that that's what it's for, but it could be for other things too'.

'Angelina seems to think she can get sole custody of the kids, but that is just not the case'.

'She can keep paying millions and millions and millions but as long as Brad wants custody and fights for it, she's going to have to share'.

'Their youngest kids, twins Knox and Vivienne, are 12 so this could go on another six years until they reach the age of majority at 18.

'I've definitely had cases go on and on and on until the kids are adults'.

'Very nasty ones keep going and Angelina changing attorneys is an indication that she needs to get her own way and isn't willing to give up. It's almost worse when people have the money because they'll just keep fighting'.

'Other people run out of money but Angelina has the means to keep paying for lawyers.'

Churchill told the president, according to the Christie’s catalog, “You cannot come all this way to North Africa without seeing Marrakesh. I must be with you when you see the sun set on the Atlas Mountains.” Believed to be Churchill’s only landscape painted during the war years, the work records the view the two statesmen enjoyed at the Villa Taylor, on the outskirts of the city.
