Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were married for two years before announcing their divorce.

It has taken eight years to reach a settlement - four times as long as the marriage itself.

Legal disputes involving children and a French vineyard still need to be resolved.

Many celebrities want to divorce quickly and move on, lawyer Chris Melcher said.

Pitt and Jolie bought Chateau Miraval together in 2008 and got married in its chapel in 2014 .

But Jolie sold her share to a spirits manufacturer owned by a Russian oligarch.

He is suing his ex-wife for selling her stake in the estate, saying they agreed not to sell their shares without permission.
