Hollywood star Angelina Jolie scored a major victory on Friday in her divorce with Brad Pitt when a California appeals court agreed with her that the private judge deciding who gets custody of their children should be disqualified. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 2nd District Court of Appeal agreed with Jolie that Judge John W. Ouderkirk didn`t sufficiently disclose business relationships with Pitt`s attorneys.

"Judge Ouderkirk`s ethical breach, considered together with the information disclosed concerning his recent professional relationships with Pitt`s counsel, might cause an objective person, aware of all the facts, reasonably to entertain a doubt as to the judge`s ability to be impartial. Disqualification is required," the court ruled. This decision means that the custody fight over the couple`s five minor children, which was nearing an end, could just be getting started once again. The judge already ruled the pair divorced, but separated the child custody issues. Like several celebrity couples, Pitt and Jolie opted to hire their own judge to increase their privacy in the divorce proceedings.
