Sources say she is just staving off the inevitable, telling Us: 'She sees the writing on the wall: Joint custody is a done deal, and there is nothing she can do to stop it.' The Maleficent actress' August 7 filing against her ex was challenged by Pitt's camp, who claimed he's paid Jolie $9.3million.Jolie's camp said the funds were insufficient however, explaining that $8million of the sum was in the form of a home loan for which the Ocean's 11 star is still charging his ex 'interest' on in the documents.'Typically a father of means would pay these expenses voluntarily without he need for a request of court order,' Jolie's legal time added savagely.Jolie has pulled out the big guns for her fight against her ex, currently represented by four different legal firms.While the star is reportedly set to earn $20million for reprising her role as Maleficent, she claims she does not have the money to buy her brood of six with a new home.'Since the safety order, Angelina has been responsible for the children and their needs. She didn't work for a year and a half to be with the kids and is only working to pay off the house now, as he kept the family home.
