Angelina Jolie claims three of her children with ex-husband Brad Pitt had hopes to testify against him in their ongoing custody case.Jolie, 46, and Pitt, 57, - who finalized their divorce in 2019 - are parents to six kids, five of them minors: Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 12. Court documents did not state which of the children were reportedly willing to speak against their father. In a December 2020 court document reviewed by Us Weekly, Jolie's legal team said that 'three of the children have asked to testify' in the ongoing custody proceedings."The children whose custody is at issue are old enough to understand what is going on,' Jolie's lawyer said. 'The trial is necessarily going to impact them emotionally.'To make any of the children endure what may be a futile and void proceeding is beyond unjustified. It is cruel.'The legal team for the Maleficent actress had filed the docs in her efforts to disqualify Judge John Ouderkirk from ruling over the case. While Jolie and Pitt initially agreed to Judge Ouderkirk as a private judge to keep the details of the case sealed, she said last August that the judge is compromised because of 'ongoing business and professional relationships' he has with one of Pitt's lawyers; and that she will appeal a finalized decision made by Ouderkirk in the case.Ouderkirk was kept in the case in October, and in the December 2020 filing, Jolie's legal team said that Ouderkirk's presence at the helm of the case has made for a bad situation in which the children sought out to take the stand and speak their mind in the case.Jolie's legal team said in court docs filed earlier this year that the judge denied the actress 'a fair trial, improperly excluding her evidence relevant to the children's health, safety, and welfare, evidence critical to making her case.'An insider told the outlet that Maddox last month delivered testimony that 'wasn't very flattering toward Brad, and that 'he doesn't use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren't legal and instead uses Jolie. Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn't support.'Jolie filed for divorce in 2016 - citing the 'the health of the family' - in the wake of a conflict on a private flight from France to Los Angeles in which she accused Pitt of behaving abusively to son Maddox, who was 15 at the time. The Academy Award-winning actor faced no charges in connection with the incident amid probes from the FBI and social services.

Angelina is set to appeal the decision 'to demonstrate clear, reversible, prejudicial legal error,' on behalf of the judge — who she tried to remove from the case entirely — and a hearing is set for July 9. It comes after the actress was spotted leaving her ex Jonny's apartment following an intimate dinner and night cap on Friday June 11. The two were married in 1996 after meeting on the set of their movie Hackers a year prior, but separated shortly after and officially divorced in 1999.The Tom Raider star sparked reunion rumours when she was seen arriving to Miller\s apartment alone and without security on Friday evening carrying an expensive bottle of Peter Michael and a Louis Vuitton bag.The Girl Interrupted star spent about three hours inside - where the pair reportedly enjoyed dinner - and was then spotted exiting the premise at 10:30pm. Though Angelina is based in Los Angeles, California, she is said to be in NYC for a belated birthday trip where she was joined by all six of her children. Angelina and Jonny first met on the set of Hackers in 1995 and swiftly fell in love. At the time of their 1996 nuptials, Angelina was just 20-years-old and their wedding made headlines. Instead of a wedding dress, the actress wore a pair of black rubber pants and a white T-shirt which had the Trainspotting actor's name written in her own blood. She later said that the blood was supposed to represent a willingness to sacrifice for their love and shared that she drew the blood herself with a surgical needle. 'It's your husband. You're about to marry him. You can sacrifice a little to make it really special,' she told the New York Times in an interview. But after marrying she told the publication that she felt like being married caused her to 'lose [her] identity,' in a way. 'It was weird to immediately be married, and then you kind of lose your identity. You're suddenly somebody's wife. And you're like, "Oh, I'm half of a couple now. I've lost me."' 'We went on some morning show, and they threw rice on us and they gave us toasters. I was thinking, "I need to get myself back,"' she elaborated at the time.The pair separated in 1997 after their busy schedules caused them to be apart from each other. The divorce was official in 1999 but they still remained friends. Angelina has previously expressed her regret about not being able to make it work in a past candid interview. 'Jonny and I never fought and we never hurt each other. I really wanted to be his wife. I really wanted to commit,' she reportedly told the Calgary Sun.Angelina also shared at the time of their divorce that she thought they could get 'married again' in the future. 'I wanted more for him than I could give. He deserves more than I am prepared to give at this time in my life, but there is a very good possibility that we could get married again some time in the future.' Though she said divorcing Jonny was 'the dumbest thing I've ever done,' he expressed no regrets over their years together. 'There are no regrets and no bitterness. Marriage was something that didn't work out, and I had to make the decision sooner or later. I decided to make it sooner,' he told Heavy.com. The actor later went on to marry Law & Order star Michele Hicks, but they split after a decade together in 2018. Angelina went on to marry Billy Bob Thornton in 2000 where both wore vials of each other's blood around their necks, but they divorced just two years later. In 2014 she finally married Brad Pitt after falling in love on the set of Mr. And Mrs. Smith in 2005. She filed for divorce in 2016 citing 'irreconcilable differences' and it was finalized in 2019. The former pair have been in a lengthy custody battle with Angelina wanting sole custody and Pitt fighting for joint. In late May, the court ruled that Brad and Angelina will have shared custody of all their children with the exception of Maddox, who is no longer a minor. According to reports from US Weekly, the actress feels she can 'never forgive' Brad and believes their legal battle is 'far from over'. A source told the publication: 'She will never forgive him... She maintains it's far from over and still believes that justice will prevail.'It was also claimed that the Maleficent star will give 'everything she's got' to appeal the decision in court. She is set to appeal the decision 'to demonstrate clear, reversible, prejudicial legal error,' on behalf of the judge — who she tried to remove from the case entirely — and a hearing is set for July 9.

Angelina Jolie spent one-on-one quality time with three of her teenage children - including 16-year-old daughter Zahara Marley - during her 46th birthday trip to the Big Apple last Wednesday.The Oscar-winning actress - who relies on stylist Jen Rade - looked sophisticated wearing a white pantsuit over a matching tank top and beige kitten heels. At all times, Angelina was wearing a grey face mask to protect herself and others from the coronavirus as she left her hotel to sightsee and shop. After visiting Madison Avenue with Zahara, Jolie - rocking a bright red mani-pedi - bonded with her son Pax Thien. The Those Who Wish Me Dead star and her Vietnamese-born 17-year-old had lunch at ramen hotspot Momofuku Noodle Bar Uptown in Columbus Circle.Pax - whom Angelina adopted in 2007 - looked fresh in a lavender T-shirt, matching bucket hat, khakis, and a b&w-patterned face mask. Later that day, Jolie emerged from a yellow taxi cab with 15-year-old Shiloh Nouvel after enjoying a shopping spree at Dover Street Market. Shiloh sported a messy top bun and wore a black face mask, grey Nike Air Jordan hoodie, and Vans skateboard sneakers.'The kids are growing up and are so close,' a source told People on Sunday. 'They were out to museums and dinner with each other through the trip and had a nice time.' The former Hollywood wild child toted her favorite Louis Vuitton bag and covered up in a chic $4,800 Christian Dior trench coat. Missing from Angelina's side were her eldest son - 19-year-old Maddox Chivan, who's attending Yonsei University in Seoul - as well as fraternal twins Knox Léon & Vivienne Marcheline, 12. Jolie and her estranged husband #3 Brad Pitt will next face off in court on July 9 when a three-justice panel will weigh in on her appeal for primary custody of their five underage children - according to Us Weekly. The Come Away actress and the 57-year-old Oscar-winning producer famously tied the knot in 2014 after portraying a married couple on the 2004 set of spy flick Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The couple formerly known as 'Brangelina' - who didn't have a prenup - officially finalized their divorce in 2019. Angie made headlines last Friday when she spent three hours reconnecting with her ex-husband #1 Jonny Lee Miller over a bottle of Peter Michael Wine at his Dumbo apartment. Jolie's 12-year-old son Knox Léon and the 48-year-old Englishman's 12-year-old son Buster Timothy are said to be close pals. The Hackers castmates divorced in 1999 after nearly three years of marriage, and Jonny later appeared in the 2007 documentary A Place In Time that she directed. 'It's not fair to the other person that I'm so busy with my career and that I'm often distant even when I am with someone,' The One and Only Ivan producer-star once told Calgary Sun. 'Jonny and I never fought and we never hurt each other. I really wanted to be his wife. I really wanted to commit. We were living side by side, but we had separate lives. 'I wanted more for him than I could give. He deserves more than I am prepared to give at this time in my life, but there is a very good possibility that we could get married again some time in the future.' Miller is next scheduled to attend the world premiere of Wyatt Rockefeller's sci-fi flick Settlers this Friday at the Tribeca Film Festival in Manhattan. Angelina will next play fierce warrior Thena, who can form any weapon out of cosmic energy, in Marvel Comics flick Eternals hitting US/UK theaters on November 5.Two-time Oscar winner Chloé Zhao's $200M-budget epic also stars Gemma Chan, Salma Hayek, Richard Madden, Kit Harrington, and Kumail Nanjiani.
