Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has accused Brad Pitt of not
paying any ‘meaningful’ child support since their divorce proceedings began in
2016. Her attorney wrote in a brief which was filed in Los Angeles Superior
Court that Brad Pitt ‘has a duty to pay child support’. The brief obtained by a
media sources, “Given the informal arrangements around the payment of the
children's expenses have not been regularly sustained by [Pitt] for over a year
and a half.” The court filing did not define what ‘meaningful’ child support
is.
The papers state that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had an
‘informal arrangement’ but Brad Pitt has not been paying the amount and
therefore she is seeking formal child support as well as retroactive pay. The
ex-couple is keen to formally end their marriage, but are determined to win the
custody battle, as per media reports. The source informed to a daily, “The
filing today was only intended for the marriage to be dissolved, and before everything
else can be dissolved, things have to be done by both parties, including
financial disclosure and child support.”
The source further revealed, “The dissolution of the
marriage will help everyone move forward and work together — as co-parents,
something they’re committed to. It’s up to the court to come up with a solution
good for the kids.”
Jolie’s lawyer added in the court brief, “Given the informal
arrangements around the payment of the children’s expenses have not been
regularly sustained by [Pitt] for over a year and a half, [Jolie] intends to
file an RFO [request for a court order] for the establishment of a retroactive
child support order.”
