Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's eldest son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, testified against his father as part of the custody battle.
Maddox Jolie-Pitt (19) testified against his adoptive father, US actor Brad Pitt (57, "Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood") as part of his parents' protracted custody dispute over their six children. As "Us Weekly" reports, citing an unnamed source, the statements were "not very flattering towards Brad".
Accordingly, the student does not use Pitt as the last name on legally irrelevant documents, but only that of his mother Angelina Jolie (45). "Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina does not support," the message continues. On Friday, March 12th, Jolie filed new court documents accusing Pitt of domestic violence. The papers say the actress and her children are ready to provide "evidence" in support of the allegations against Pitt.

In addition to Maddox, whom Jolie adopted in 2002 without Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt also have their adopted son Pax (17) and adopted daughter Zahara (16) as well as their biological children Shiloh (14) and twins Vivienne and Knox (12) . Jolie lives with the kids in Los Angeles, just five minutes from Pitt's home. Pitt and Jolie had been in a relationship since 2005 and also married since 2014.
According to US media reports, the ex-couple has allegedly been in a custody battle since the separation in September 2016. According to US media reports, the investigation against Pitt on allegations of child abuse has been suspended by the Department of Child and Family Affairs in Los Angeles. The trigger at the time is said to have been a dispute between Brad Pitt and Maddox.
