Divorce is a complicated process that requires lots of appearance in court. When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie announced their divorce, it is expected that they will struggle over the custody of their kids and the division of their matrimonial assets. The couple's estimated property reached around £500 million.
Recent reports said that the couple is fighting over a property located in France. Radar Online reported that Angelina wanted to own the wine estate located in Provence, France. The couple first agreed to share the property, but Jolie changed her mind when she visited the chateau. The actress now wants to declare it in the final settlement.
Radar Online's source said that they did have a gentleman's agreement that they'd share it since it is a lucrative business enterprise, but when Angie returned to the property, she realized how much she loves it and how much it would drive Brad crazy if she took it from him.
It would be easy for the couple to split their properties if they are not interested in the same asset. Brad, however, is determined to get the property. The same source said that Brad loves that place and is very proud of his status as a winemaker, and knows Angie would probably just sell it, or worse, demolish it, just to be nasty. He added that he would fight to the end to make sure he gets to keep his Chateau.
The sought after American businessman Tom Bove first owned the property. They bought the 1,000-acre wine estate for $60 million. The assets value rose after the couple turned its operation around, making it an award-winning winery.
The NY Times Post's report conflicted with the claim of the tabloid. It mentioned that Pitt wanted to sell the property while his wife wants to keep it. NY Times' source said that Pitt is anxious to sell, but she wants to keep it as a continuing revenue source.
Recently, Angelina Jolie decided to let the actor spend summer with their kids after years of tumultuous custody battles. The actress spent her summer filming Those Who Wish Me Dead, so she reached out to his ex-husband to look after the children. The couple struggled for the custody of their six children, Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 11. The battle for their matrimonial properties complicates their divorce after reaching a turning point.
