Divorce judge contested by Angelina Jolie also married her and Brad Pitt

The judge Angelina Jolie is seeking to remove from her divorce case is the same judge who married her and Brad Pitt.

Angelina recently filed court documents asking for Judge John W. Ouderkirk to be disqualified from the proceedings, because she claims he failed to disclose his business relationships with her ex-husband's attorneys but Brad's team have hit back, saying this is just a "thinly veiled attempt by Jolie to delay the adjudication of the long-pending custody issues in this case".

The papers, filed by Brad's legal team and obtained by the New York Post's Page Six, said that "Judge Ouderkirk has had a well-documented history with the parties including being hand-selected by Jolie to preside over the couple's nuptials in 2014".
