Angelina Jolie has actually won a significant fight in her divorce from Brad Pitt.
On Friday, July 23, a California appeals court approved her demand to disqualify personal judge John W. Ouderkirk from continuing to command her and her ex’s custody fight over their kids, according to court files acquired by E! News.
In August 2020, 3 months after the judge tentatively given Pitt joint custody of the exes’ 5 small kids, Jolie’s lawyer submitted a demand to have him disqualified for apparently stopping working to “disclose multiple professional, business and financial relationships, ongoing during the course of the matter, with Pitt’s counsel and their law firms.”
Three appellate judges composed in the appeals court’s brand-new judgment, acquired by E! News, that “Judge Ouderkirk’s ethical breach, considered together with the information disclosed concerning his recent professional relationships with Pitt’s counsel, might cause an objective person, aware of all the facts, reasonably to entertain a doubt as to the judge’s ability to be impartial. Disqualification is required.”
