The Kids Take The Stand!

The former couples bitter custody battle hits a new low and their kids are the ones caught in the crossfire!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s two-year divorce battle has been rumbling on for as long as their ill-fated marriage lasted, with insiders saying the stars are deadlocked and being forced to head to trial to settle the custody plan for their six kids once and for all.

And NW hears that the pair’s drawn-out legal dramas are being taken to the next level, with Ange dragging their children into the mess by making them testify! Something tells us this won’t end well...

“The divorce has turned off the-charts ugly, and Brad and Angelina are ready to expose each other’s deepest and darkest secrets in court to achieve their goals,” reveals a source. “Brad is meeting with lawyers every other day – he’s tired of Angelina making him out to be the worst father in the world.”

In fact, Brad is apparently convinced Ange, 43, has been playing dirty from day one. According to the source, Brad still believes someone from Angelina’s team placed a call to LA’s Department of Children and Family Services soon after his mid-air altercation with son Maddox, 17, which compelled Ange to file for divorce. The tipster apparently claimed the fight may have qualified as abuse, prompting an investigation by the DCFS and the FBI.

After court-ordered therapy, giving up booze and supervised visits, Brad was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing.
