Daily Mail exclusively reported that legal experts in Los Angeles say both Brad, 57, and Angelina, 45, have already spent over $1 million in legal costs.
The sources added that the legal battle may go on for the next six years.
The former couple have not reached a settlement on how to split their multi-million dollar fortunes or the custody of their five underage kids.
Brad and Angelina share six children: Maddox, 19, Zahara, 16, Pax, 17, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12.
Us Weekly previously reported that Maddox appeared to take Angelina’s side as he spoke during their lengthy custody battle.

An insider told the outlet: “Maddox has already given testimony as [an] adult in the ongoing custody dispute and it wasn’t very flattering toward Brad.
“He doesn’t use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren’t legal and instead uses Jolie. Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn’t support.”
On March 12, the 45-year-old actress filed new court documents that alleged of “domestic violence.”
The Sun confirmed that Angelina filed court papers to “offer proof and support” of “testimony regarding domestic violence.”
The actress made no indication the “domestic violence” matter mentioned in the documents was related to her estranged husband, while she also offered “proof” in support of their minor children testifying at trial.

The famous pair were married for two years, while they were together for a total of 12 years.
After the divorce filing, it was reported that Brad was allegedly involved in an incident with Maddox while on a private jet.
