 Last week lawmakers at California's 2nd District Court of Appeal agreed with the Maleficent Star that John Odekirk should have disclosed prior business dealings with Pitt's lawyers. Angelina Jolie has won her legal bid to have a private judge removed from her contentious child custody matter with estranged husband Brad Pitt. Last week lawmakers at California's 2nd District Court of Appeal agreed with the Maleficent Star that John Odekirk should have disclosed prior business dealings with Pitt's lawyers and that his 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. Court officials added disqualification is required. The ruling, a huge victory for Jolie, means the warring couple officially divorced as of 2019 may be headed back to square one as they battle over custody arrangements for their five minor children.
