Angeline Jolie and Brad Pitt's divorce is getting complicated with both the Hollywood stars battling over child support.
The conflict started after Jolie, 43, indicated in a court filing Tuesday that Pitt has not been paying "meaningful" child support during their separation.
Pitt, 53, responded with his court filing stating he had paid over USD 1.3 million to provide for the actor and their six children, as well as a loan of USD 8 million to help her purchase her current home.
Jolie's lawyer, Samantha Bley DeJean, has now responded to the "Fight Club" actor's filing, saying the "Maleficent" star's filing "was both legally appropriate and factually accurate in all respects."
She also claimed Pitt was "asked to assist in the expense of a new home for Angelina" and their six children but "instead he loaned Angelina money, for which he is charging her interest on a payment plan."
Bley DeJean said Jolie will "honour that loan" but "a loan is not, however, child support and to represent it as such is misleading and inaccurate."
