Angelina Jolie is fighting Brad Pitt so hard and nasty in their divorce and child custody dispute, her lawyer is quitting her ... sources tell TMZ. Sources familiar with the matter say Angelina has been out for blood. As one source connected to Brad tells us, they believe she wants to kill any relationship he has with his kids. We're told there has been a lot of screaming on Angie's part ... as one source said, "She's fueled with anger and has gotten ridiculously unreasonable." Our sources say her lawyer, Laura Wasser, is going to quit and made that known to her, because it's gotten too venomous. It seems like this was not a good match, because Wasser has made a name for herself in divorce circles by promoting settlements and co-parenting.<doc-sep>Laura Wasser is still team Ange (EPA – Getty) Angelina Jolie has confirmed that she still has a divorce lawyer on her team in the midst of her separation from Brad Pitt. The Maleficent actress has been represented by Laura Wasser since filing for divorce from Brad, 54, in September 2016 but recent reports accused Angelina, 43, of being ‘hostile’ towards Wasser, allegedly prompting the attorney to quit. However Angelina’s spokesperson, Mindy Nyby, has now shut down the claims, insisting that Wasser is still very much leading the divorce proceedings; Wasser is a renowned celebrity divorce lawyer having handled the highly-publicised separations of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore and Heidi Klum and Seal, among others. Wasser is also known for encouraging co-parenting settlements with her clients, which is said to have been a point of contention between her and Angelina.

The TMZ story is not true and she is not quitting now or in the future.’ The insider reportedly told TMZ that there was ‘lots of screaming’ on Angelina’s part while another source added: ‘She’s fuelled with anger and has gotten ridiculously unreasonable.’ Angelina was accused of ‘unreasonable’ behaviour (Picture: David Fisher/BAFTA/REX/Shutterstock) Earlier in August, sources also allegedly told TMZ that Angelina was actively trying to ensure Brad’s relationship with their six children was diminished as much as possible; the former couple are parents to adopted children Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, and biological children Shiloh, 12, and 10-year-old twins Knox, and Vivienne. The Hollywood actress split from Brad in 2016 after two years of marriage and 11 years after their relationship began. Another insider told E! News that the former couple, dubbed Brangelina, are struggling to get on the same page behind closed doors, stating: ‘They are not on good terms and are less than civil.’ In June, Angelina was ordered by a court to tell their children that they ‘are safe’ with their father Brad and that ‘not having a relationship with [him] is harmful to them’. The decision was made as part of a shared custody schedule between Angelina and Brad to adhere to over the summer months. The children have been splitting their time between London and Los Angeles with Angelina maintaining primary physical custody. Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Angelina for comment.

They married in 2014, but split in September 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. Custody of their six children — Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 10-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox — has been an ongoing issue. In June, after the exes couldn’t reach a private agreement, a judge established a detailed schedule for Pitt to spend time with the children (except Maddox, who according to the court is old enough to decide for himself how much time he wants to spend with his father). Jolie has “tried to bridge the gap between the kids and their dad,” the source tells PEOPLE. “She’s worked to achieve reinstatement for them. But it’s now between Brad, his kids, and the court. The court will determine things.” RELATED VIDEO: What the New Ruling Means in the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Custody Case The children are living in London with Jolie right now as she filming Maleficent 2, but normally reside in Los Angeles, where Pitt also lives.<doc-sep>
Angelina Jolie has hit back at reports her divorce lawyer is quitting because of her own behaviour. On Saturday (local time), TMZ reported that the 43-year-old was "out for blood" in her divorce and child custody dispute with Brad Pitt, 54. In her divorce filing, Jolie requested physical custody of the children. After the two failed to come to a private custody agreement, a judge established a new agreement in June which granted Pitt the right to spend time with his children on a regular schedule. TMZ reported that Jolie intends to destroy Pitt's relationship with his children, quoting a source as saying she is "fuelled with anger and has gotten ridiculously unreasonable". The gossip website also reported that Jolie's lawyer, Laura Wasser, has been driven to quit her job because of her client's hostility and aggression. Jolie's spokesperson Mindy Nyby has refuted the claim, telling People that Ms Wasser is "not quitting now or in the future". Another source told People that the rumour is based in misunderstanding. "Someone is misinterpreting bringing in the experts, which is common at this point in the case," they said. "It's entering a new phase." The couple were in a years-long relationship before marrying in 2014, but separated in 2016 due to "irreconcilable differences". Jolie filed for divorce after Pitt was allegedly involved in an altercation with oldest son Maddox, 16, while on a private plane. She alleged that the actor was abusive to their six children, triggering an FBI investigation which ultimately exonerated Pitt. Newshub.
