Celebrity Divorce

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are at war in their divorce case, but the more immediate struggle is the co-parenting situation that even has a judge issuing a warning to cool it ... or else.

We're told Brad has been spending the bulk of his Summer in England -- where Angelina and the kids live -- so he can see his 6 children. The judge in the divorce case set out a schedule for Brad to visit with his children in London beginning in mid-June for 10 hours a day. The visitation increased last month to 4 consecutive days at a time.

Our sources say Brad and Angelina never interact with each other, and the handoffs are always through nannies and assistants.

It's clear there have been issues over Brad interacting with the kids. The judge in the divorce case already issued an order saying Angelina tried to restrict Brad's access that the judge believed was "harmful" to the children. The judge even said Brad had a right to call and text the kids whenever he wanted, and Angelina could not monitor the contacts.

TMZ broke the stories about Angelina claiming Brad has only provided minimal child support, and Brad fired back in legal docs that he's paid her $1.3 mil in child support since they split nearly 2 years ago ... and he loaned her $8 million to buy a house.

From what we're told, things are getting worse, not better, between the two.

Ex-Chicago Bears quarterback Erik Kramer has been charged with misdemeanor battery stemming from his alleged domestic violence incident back in June ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported ... the former NFL player was arrested after he admitted to police he got physical with his wife, Cortney Baird, during a fight at their Agoura Hills home.

Baird claims Kramer flipped out after she confronted him about an argument the two previously had ... saying the ex-QB got violent and threw various household items at her.

Kramer was booked on suspicion of felony corporal injury to a spouse and released on $50k bond.

Now ... we're told cops are hitting Kramer with one count of misdemeanor battery for the incident -- and the ex-QB is facing up to six months in jail if convicted.

Stormy Daniels is quickly finding out divorce will prove costly ... she's been ordered to pay a bunch of bills because she's clearly the money earner.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Stormy must pay her estranged hubby, Glendon Crain, $1,000 per month in child support. That's just for starters -- she'll also pay the mortgage (doesn't say how much) on their house and make payments on their BMW and Cadillac. She's also on the hook for cell phone bills, boarding expenses for their horses and riding lessons for their 7-year-old daughter.

And, get this ... the house Stormy's paying for? Glendon gets exclusive access while the divorce winds through the legal system. He also gets to drive the Beamer. She gets the Cadi.

There's also this ... the court's ordered that any money Stormy makes from any upcoming book deals or on the UK's "Celebrity Big Brother" has to be placed in registry of the court ... meaning it's put aside and will probably be divided up when their divorce is final.

According to the docs, they have joint custody of their daughter.

As we reported ... Glendon filed for divorce last month ... about a week after Stormy was arrested at an Ohio strip club.

Brad Pitt's lawyers aren't mincing words ... they say Angelina Jolie is a master manipulator and a liar by essentially claiming he's a deadbeat dad, because they say he's forked over more than $9 MILLION over the last 2 years.

Brad's lawyers have responded to Angelina's latest attack where she claimed in legal docs he hasn't paid "meaningful child support" since their split in September 2016.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Brad fires back ... he loaned her $8 million so she could buy the home in which she currently lives, and shelled out more than $1.3 million in child support.

Brad's lawyers say Angelina and her lawyers have engaged in dirty tricks, calling them out for "a thinly-veiled effort to manipulate media coverage." Brad's lawyers point to Angelina's legal docs that were filed earlier this week, in which she asks the judge to grant the divorce quickly so she can be a single woman again ... leaving child support and other issues for a later date.

The attorneys for Brad are calling BS, saying THEY were the ones who called Angelina's lawyers last week asking for exactly that ... to grant the divorce decree quickly and then later deal with child support and property settlement issues. They say her lawyers said they'd discuss the matter with their client, and then Angelina made it look like it was SHE who wanted the quickie divorce.

The docs accuse Angelina of filing papers with the court that are "calculated to increase the conflict." They say her gripe over child support is bogus and she knows it.

Shots fired back.

Angelina Jolie is continuing her campaign to smear Brad Pitt by alleging he stiffed her on child support ... so claim sources who say Brad has coughed up millions of dollars for the kids since the couple split.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ, he and Angelina did have an informal agreement -- as she claimed in the docs she filed Tuesday -- but he has given her "way, way more" than the amount he agreed to pay ... we're told the total is in the millions of dollars.

Angelina claims in her legal docs, since their split nearly 2 years ago, Brad has not paid "meaningful child support." Our sources call that "a joke," and the proof will surface.

TMZ broke the story ... Angelina's lawyer, Laura Wasser, is quitting the case because Angelina has become so vengeful it's been impossible to represent her. Two new lawyers have joined the case ... presumably so Wasser can make an easy exit.

Angelina Jolie is sick of being married to Brad Pitt and is asking the divorce judge to end her marriage and make her single again, even before the judge deals with some nasty child custody issues.

Angelina's new lawyer just filed legal docs asking the judge to issue a final divorce decree this year.

Her attorney also claims in the docs Brad Pitt has not paid "meaningful child support" since their separation nearly 2 years ago. She says there has been an "informal arrangement," but Brad has not even lived up to that agreement.

She wants the judge to issue a formal child support order and make it retroactive against Brad.

TMZ broke the story ... Angelina's lawyer, Laura Wasser, is going to quit because Angelina has been very difficult to work with and is making the divorce way more contentious than necessary. The document that was just filed is revealing, because she now has 2 new lawyers -- presumably the ones who will replace Wasser.

Britney Spears' legal team wants a judge to tell Kevin Federline he's wasting his time asking to depose the singer ... calling it unnecessary and possibly harmful to their kids.

Attorneys for Britney's conservatorship just filed new legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- saying there's no need for Britney to sit for a deposition because everyone already knows, she makes a ton of money.

Brit's team also argues the depo could disrupt her touring schedule and potentially undermine the security of her kids if Kevin asks for records that expose private information -- like their travel, school schedule, etc.

She's asking a judge to severely limit what Federline can access ... and to seal whatever does become available.

TMZ broke the story ... Britney's legal team squared off with Kevin in L.A. last week. She's been paying him $20k per month in child support but he's demanding more.

Jack Osbourne went to his estranged wife's house without incident Saturday ... this after a run-in days earlier in which Jack punched her boyfriend in the head.

Jack looked stoic as he walked up the driveway. TMZ broke the story ... Jack went to the family home last Monday at around 1 AM and ended up going after actor/model/boyfriend Michael Gabel, who apparently showed up after things got heated between Jack and Lisa Osbourne.

Cops showed up, but Gabel decided he didn't want to press charges, so the case was dropped.

Jack and Stelly are going through a divorce and at the time they announced their marriage was over they said they were trying to take a page out of the Gwyneth Paltrow/Chris Martin playbook, especially since they have 3 kids.

Angelina Jolie is fighting Brad Pitt so hard and nasty in their divorce and child custody dispute, her lawyer is quitting her ... sources tell TMZ.

Sources familiar with the matter say Angelina has been out for blood. As one source connected to Brad tells us, they believe she wants to kill any relationship he has with his kids. We're told there has been a lot of screaming on Angie's part ... as one source said, "She's fueled with anger and has gotten ridiculously unreasonable."

Our sources say her lawyer, Laura Wasser, is going to quit and made that known to her, because it's gotten too venomous. It seems like this was not a good match, because Wasser has made a name for herself in divorce circles by promoting settlements and co-parenting.

We're told Angelina has hired another law firm to take over when Wasser officially leaves, but for now the divorce is nowhere near settling ... it's more like all-out war.

Jack Osbourne was immediately regretful for decking his estranged wife's new boyfriend ... and he's already trying to smooth things over with the guy.

Sources close to Jack tell TMZ ... right after he delivered a head punch to Lisa Osbourne's BF, Michael Gabel, Jack called to say sorry. We're told Michael accepted the apology, which definitely worked in Jack's favor.

As we first reported, Michael decided not to press charges against Jack.

Our sources say Jack was blindsided when he saw Michael at the house with Lisa, because he had no idea she was dating anyone. We're told he just let his emotions get the best of him.

As we reported ... Lisa filed for divorce in May, just months after the couple had their third child. Days later, it looked like they were keeping things copacetic.

No, Blake Griffin is NOT paying $258k per month in child support -- he's only paying a fraction of that ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, the $258k figure that's being reported is wrong -- but sources tell us the NBA star is still cutting a significant check to Brynn Cameron, the mother of his 2 kids.

The number, we're told, is $32,000 per month ... which adds up to $384,000 per year.

It's no sweat for Blake, who recently signed a 5-year, $171 million contract.

Chris Pratt isn't slow-playing the whole "meet my girlfriend" thing with his kid -- 'cause the trio was looking like a picture-perfect fam Wednesday in Malibu.

The "Jurassic World" star was with his son, Jack, and his new boo, Katherine Schwarzenegger, for a dinner date at Soho House. The good news for Chris ... Kat and Jack seem to be getting very familiar with each other.

Remember, they all just went to church together Sunday and afterward grabbed some sweet treats ... for Jack and Chris.

Can't blame Chris for moving things along at a brisk pace -- Anna's definitely done the same with her BF in the time since she and CP filed for divorce.

It took several months, but Bristol Palin has finally confirmed she and Dakota Meyer are no longer husband and wife ... and she's single.

TMZ broke the story in February ... the couple called it quits less than 2 years after their wedding and were no longer living together. We later found out Meyer filed the divorce docs January 29 in Texas.

But the newest 'Teen Mom' didn't make the news official until Wednesday, when she replied to a question on her Instagram Story about whether she was dating anyone with ... "freshly divorced & single forever lezzbereal (I am not ready to date)"

Bristol and Dakota were married in 2016 and have 2 daughters together. It's still unclear what arrangements have been made between the exes about child custody or support.

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are officially a couple -- a churchgoing one at that -- but they won't really show it until they're out of God's purview.

The recently-single Hollywood stud was spotted on another date with Arnold and Maria's 28-year-old daughter Sunday -- this time with his and Anna Faris' son, Jack, tagging along ... not to mention JC. The trio hit up a church service in L.A. and ice cream afterward.

It wasn't until Chris and Kat were out of the Lord's house that they smooched a bit ... not once, but twice! Seems like things have gone well since their Santa Barbara picnic last month.

'RHOC' stars Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador were warned, and now Alexis Bellino's estranged husband wants 'em to pay up for running their mouths about his family.

Jim Bellino filed a lawsuit Friday, ripping Tamra and Shannon for doubling down on statements they've made to the media ... claiming his trampoline biz had paralyzed customers, and that his pending divorce from Alexis was fake.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, he says their statement that "he's going to jail" is a flat-out lie.

Jim adds ... he's not buying the excuse they laid out on "Watch What Happens Live" earlier this month ... when they claimed they were "just poking fun" when they went in on him.

TMZ broke the story ... Jim fired off a cease and desist letter to the ladies, but he says they did neither. He's suing for damages in excess of $1 million.

Stormy Daniels' husband doesn't just want a divorce -- he wants her to stay clear of him and their child -- and he's accusing her of cheating.

We've learned a judge has granted Glendon Crain a restraining order which he requested with his divorce petition. The judge, among other things, agreed to prohibit Stormy from coming in contact with Crain or their 7-year-old daughter, which Crain says was necessary because Stormy wanted to bring her on tour where she would be on a bus with other adult performers and at risk for both physical and emotional harm.

The restraining order also prevents Stormy from falsifying any document or withdrawing or transferring any assets from their accounts or from cutting off Crain's access to his credit cards. There's no evidence in the docs she's committed such misdeeds.

Crain also got exclusive use of the couple's home and 2 cars.

As for the cheating ... Crain isn't specific, but merely says Stormy "committed adultery."

As we reported, Glendon filed for divorce last week. He married Stormy in 2015 but the 2 have rarely been seen together in public since she emerged with allegations against Donald Trump.

We knew something was up earlier this month when Stormy was arrested at a Columbus strip club. On the police report, she marked "No" when asked if she was married.

A hearing is scheduled for Friday, where Crain will try to get the restraining order made permanent.
