Angelina Jolie's Lawyer Backs Out As Brad Pitt Continues To Fight For Fair Custody
The dedicated legal team of the 45-year-old American actress Angelina Jolie once again experiences rough trouble.
Angeline Jolie's lawyer decided to back out
As the battle of Angelina to get full custody of her five minor children continues for four years now, one lawyer from her legal team decided to call her fight quits. The said happening causes the actress's battle to her former 59-year-old American actor husband Brad Pitt into rough roads.
The fight pertains to the custody battle the ex-couple has been battling to the court, alongside their respective legal ensemble.
One of Angelina's lawyers named Priya Sopori filed and submitted a Notice of Withdrawal of Attorney of Record straight to the Los Angeles Superior Court dated Oct. 9. Priya works side by side with the female actress's head lawyer Samantha DeJean.
Luckily, the Hollywood dedicated new site, HollywoodLife.com, reviewed a copy of the original document filed by Priya to the court. To see the image copy, click here.
The exit document did not specify the sole reason for the lawyer for her decision. Still, it is undoubtedly a significant bump Angelina, and her legal team faces for the time being. As per Daily Mail, Priya is based in Los Angeles, California, and is one of the state's expert lawyers. She is connected with Greenberg Glusker LLP.
The severed connection of Priya to Angelina's legal team comes as a shock to many, considering the actress already had one lawyer who exited from the team in 2018, Pinkvilla reported.
A joint physical custody fight of Brad Pitt
The agitating custody battle between the former all-star couple commenced in Sept. 2016. The decision was in the domino effect of the couple's decision to end their marriage, hailing Angelina as the party who filed the divorce first.

In the divorce papers, Angelina stated that Brad and she could enjoy joint legal custody. Still, she would possess the primary physical custody of their six children, Vivienne, Knox, Shiloh, Zahara, Pax, and Maddox.
However, Brad and his team disagreed with Angelina's request. In Nov. of the same year, the World War Z star filed joint and physical custody of their children.
For the time being, the two prominent actors' custody battle is now down to five since Maddox is now 19 years old, who is currently in college.
Meanwhile, despite the separation of Priya, Angelina was spotted with Pax on Oct. 17 as the mother-son tandem went shopping at Melrose Avenue.
