According to court documents per TMZ, the former couple — who were together for twelve years and share Maddox, 20, Pax, 18, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 13 — bought the sprawling property in Correns, France in 2008. Pitt then invested a considerable amount of money, time and energy into growing the $28 million business.

The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood alum is claiming he was a consistent and key part of making the winery a success throughout the past fourteen years, while Jolie hadn't been heavily involved since 2013. (The actress did invest 40% of the cash needed in the initial purchase.)

"Unfortunately, this is another example of the same person disregarding her legal and ethical obligations," a source close to Pitt spilled to the outlet. "In doing so, she has violated the rights of the only person who poured money and sweat equity into the success of the business by purporting to sell both the business and family home to a third-party competitor."

"She is seeking a return on an investment she did not make and profits she did not earn," they concluded.
