Custody battles: famous couples that couldn’t solve the problem

It would seem that Hollywood stars are millionaires, supported by the groups of lawyers and consultants. So why can’t they get divorced quickly without overblowing conflicts?

Most often the problem is money and marital property that has to be divided somehow. Couples often attract attention using such black PR. But the most unpleasant and difficult time starts when children become the subject of battles in court and the main point of dispute.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

This couple is probably on everyone’s lips from the very moment Angy and Brad began the divorce process in 2016. The property, mutual insults, and accusations remained on one side, and six children on the other.

There were real wars going on for the custody of children, until Brad Pitt gave up on it, leaving Jolie the children and the title of a single mother. Unfortunately, after that, the younger generation of Jolie-Pitt didn’t stop being in the spotlight. At first, Angelina accuses Brad that he doesn’t pay child support, then the actor confronts Jolie. And recently it has transpired that Jolie and Pitt’s daughter became John.

Scarlett Johansson

The number of relations the Black Widow of «The Avengers» had is countless. Two affairs ended in marriages, each of which led to divorce. With her second husband, Scarlett gave birth to a daughter. So during the divorce process, the trial decided with whom will the child remain.

The process was huge but short. The daughter stayed with her mother, and the father left for Paris. It is known that he rarely visits the little Rose.

Halle Berry

Doubly unlucky was Holly Berry. She is 51 years old and has two marriages. She gave birth to a child in each marriage and had to fight for the custody of children with a scandal.

The divorce proceedings of the actress were very juicy, followed by “torturing” each other in the media and the yellow press. It is hard to imagine what a woman had to go through to sue the custody of children. The situation was aggravated by the details of the separation: betrayals, quarrels, the relationship of Holly’s husband with her female friends.

Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes’s divorce was one of the fastest, but therefore not less high-profile. The reason for the divorce is the unwillingness of the mother to raise her daughter in the traditions of the church, which the father supported.

And so the trial began and lasted only two weeks. At first, Cruz tried to fight for custody over his child, and then suddenly refused. So the daughter stayed with Katie Holmes.

The situation was complicated by the fact that even before the divorce, Cruz checked his daughter to find out whether her psycho-emotional state corresponds to the principles of Scientology. He looked for deviations in order to correct them. As soon as Katie Holmes got tot know what was happening behind her back, she immediately filed for divorce.

Reese Witherspoon

The main character of the TV series “Big Little Lies” and the film “Legally Blonde” brings up three children. Two of them are from her first marriage with Ryan Philip. The former husband filed for divorce as soon as the actress built a career. He appealed to that at court trying to win custody of the children, but he didn’t succeed.

Madonna

Another Hollywood star with ruined marriage is pop diva Madonna. She broke up with her famous husband Guy Ritchie. They are said to be the couple whose love has grown into real hatred. There had two children in the marriage – their own and adopted. The divorce was difficult, among other things because of the children.
