Jolie is hoping to unfreeze the assets so she can sell her stake in the company, telling the courts she already had interested buyer and a deal in the works.

Her legal team went on to note that they reached out to Pitt’s attorneys in hopes of avoiding court, but the have yet to return to Jolie with terms.

In the legal docs, Jolie added she is worried her potential buyer might back out if the assets remain frozen while Pitt’s team considers the matter, which is why she is asking a judge to intervene.

The request has yet to be approved.

Nouvel LLC appears to be the entity in charge of the exes’ French chateau/vineyard Chateau Miraval and the wine produced at the vineyard, which they bought in 2011 for a reported $60million.

This is just another chapter of the drawn out legal battles between Pitt and Jolie, over their divorce and custody of their six children.

Pitt was awarded 50/50 custody of their couple’s five-minor children Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 12, earlier this year by an LA judge, a decision Jolie was reportedly ‘bitterly disappointed’ by. 

The decision was met with controversy as it was revealed that none of the couple’s children under the age of 18 were allowed to testify during the case, and Jolie’s legal team indicated that they would continue to fight the outcome in the future. 

The actress/activist filed for divorce in 2016 – citing the ‘the health of the family’ – in the wake of a conflict on a private flight from France to Los Angeles in which she accused Pitt of behaving abusively to son Maddox, who was 15 at the time.

The Academy Award-winning actor faced no charges in connection with the incident amid probes from the FBI and social services.
