Whereas it seems like she has mostly checked out of the industry.

I mean, I don't like her and never will. She is awful and if he was pushing to get the kids in a real school, that seems like a positive step for kids that otherwise probably live too weird of a life. But what is he hoping for from 50/50 custody, really -- is he actually going to be there or is he going to set some rules and farm it out to nannies? Because if that latter, that's just ridiculous.

Oh ho ho it would be HILARIOUS if he married Jen and she got defacto control over the kids 50% of the time when Brad was off on a movie. I know that won't happen and I don't really want it to but it would be amazing karma for Jolie ah ha ha. If I were doing a movie, that's how I'd have it end, with Aniston in the backyard at the pool putting out some salads on the patio while the kids played in the water and the twins circled her lovingly and called her Momifer.

If the kids are in school now he can mostly match his schedule to theirs. A big movie star can have it written into his contract that he must leave set every day by 4pm or whatever.

I am thinking you don't know much about the making of movies.

He's on track to gain 50-50 custody of the younger kids, which she feels is unfair and which hurts her financially. She doesn't get as big a payout in the divorce as she expected because they were only married two years. So she's on the losing side of all of this, doesn't get the free roaming international lifestyle she's always wanted for herself, and wants to punish him.

Well the easy and less stressful way to make that happen is to go make a few movies. The bulk of his money comes from before they were married, she’s not getting a part of that. And child support isn’t going to cover a jet setter lifestyle.

She's not really that much in demand anymore and won't take any old role because of her "brand." He owns Plan B and that's a huge moneymaker. Plus he's made so many films that still generate a lot of revenue for him. I read she was worth 150 mil and he's worth 350 mil. But I think she's worth less than that because of lack of income (directing pays so much less than headlining a film) and an insanely expensive lifestyle and lawyers bills. But I agree if the new Marvel movie does well and she gets a spin off she could make major bank. I do think the primary issue is she wants to live overseas and he won't agree.

She’s free to move. The kids can remain with him and see her during breaks.

She didn't check out of the industry. The industry checked her out (see, e.g., the leaked emails from Sony), as an actress at least (excluding voice work). By all accounts, including hers, Brad was a very involved, hands-on father.

Didn’t they sell their French estate for $60 million? How much money can these people possibly spend?

I wonder if the kids see their Pitt relatives. Brad is close to his family.

I don't think they've sold their interest in it.

I would imagine security is one big ticket item for them. They have many assets they could sell, I don't feel sorry for them. Obviously they have more than enough $$ than they could ever need if they decided to live a lower key life out of the spotlight.

According to the tabloids, no they have not. Also not surprising in such an ugly divorce and custody battle.

+1. This is so entitled. Just live a quiet life and don't seek out the media. The media will get bored with these celebrities if they stop begging for attention, and then they won't need to pay a fortune for security. Surely she could scrounge together $15M and still have a much more upscale life than most people could ever hope for?

She just scrounged up $11 million selling the painting Brad got her.

I saw some article last year that said they don’t see his family anymore.

He's gross. I don't know what happened on that plane, but I don't like him. He seems like a jerk that plays nice for the camera. She's strange. Why is she so impossibly thin? Kate Middleton too? What are they consuming in a day? How do they stay so bony?

My guess is they've seen the younger ones in CA at his house. But she'd have to sign off on their leaving the state with him to visit, doubt she would.
