A: Yes. I have with me a copy of our Marriage
Certificate.
6. Q: I am showing to you this Marriage Certificate

attracted to each other so we became a couple not so long after. And a few months into the relationship, he proposed for marriage to me which I readily accepted.
11. Q: When did you get married?
A: We got married on July 24, 2008 at Manila
Cathedral Church in Manila City.
12. Q: Where did you live after your marriage?
Page |3 Judicial Affidavit |ANGELINA JOLIE
A: We stayed in the house donated by my parents
to us.
13. Q: What happened next?
A: Still a few months into the marriage, I noticed
that my husband had some strange behavior. At first, I thought that it was just marriage blues and that we are just adjusting to each other but this behavior had become more and more noticeable as we stay together.
14. Q: What kind of strange behavior did you notice?
A: He was a troublemaker.
15. Q: Why do you say so?
A: He was argumentative, combative, antagonistic
and contentious. He always figured in quarrels. I discovered that he is short-tempered, hot-headed and a quarrelsome person. In fact, sometime in September 2008, he and his friend figured in a brawling incident.
16. Q: What happened in the said incident?
A: While passing by in Valkyrie at the Fort during
wee hours of the morning, according to my husband, he and his friend were teased by a group of men. The latter joked about the fact that my husband and his friend were already drunk because they cannot walk straight. He got angry at such a petty reason and a fistfight ensued.
17. Q: Was that incident repeated?
A: Yes. A similar incident happened again for so
many times during our marriage. In 2016, my husband pushed through his Japanese restaurant plan. In the early stage of the said business, he had a rift with one of his business partners. Not long thereafter, he was asked by his other business Page |4 Judicial Affidavit |ANGELINA JOLIE
partners to withdraw his investments from the said
business.
18. Q: Other than the said behavior, did you observe
anything else from your husband?
A: Yes. I discovered that he is also insensitive,
cruel and uncaring. Even when I was sick because of my pregnancy to our 2nd child, he would force me to do business transactions for him. He would not allow me to rest notwithstanding my ailment and if I would not give in to his unreasonable demands, he becomes angry. He would then shout insulting and cursing words at me.
19. Q: What else?
A: My husband was also fond of backbiting me. He
was fond of fabricating stories just to make me look bad in the eyes of others. There were so many instances that respondent fabricated stories against me. One of his fabricated stories about me was that I just love to shop and does not care about our business when in fact it was I who worked so hard for our restaurant to prosper and continue.
20. Q: And what did you do to all these acts that he
has done to you?
A: I was hurt. I was deeply hurt. In all these, I
just cried and prayed that our marriage would still work as I am very much concerned of our children.
21. Q: You have mentioned about your children, how
many do you have?
A: We had three children, namely: CHELSEA
PITT, BEATRICE PITT and WILLIAM PITT who were born on July 8, 2009, October 12, 2010 and September 26, 2012 respectively.
22. Q: How was the relationship of your husband to
your children? Page |5 Judicial Affidavit |ANGELINA JOLIE
A: Brad was never a good father to our children.
He never made the effort to show that he really cared for them. For example, in March 2013, during Chelsea’s, our eldest child’s Kindergarten graduation, he did not attend. He reasoned out that he could not be absent from his meeting with a potential investor. I was very sad and upset. I was in Singapore at that time to attend to my ailing mother’s needs. I pitied my daughter who had no parents during the said graduation.
23. Q: What else can you say about his relationship
with your children?
A: He never took good care of our children. He
neglected his fatherly duties. When I took the children from him and bring them to Singapore, he did not resist. Since then, he seldom visited our children. During that time, he did not also give financial support for the kids.
24. Q: Did you agree to separate during that time?
A: Of course not attorney. I just really wanted to
breathe as I was very exhausted with all the fights that we had. It seems unending. I fear that our marriage could no longer be repaired and so I tried to give him some space hoping that he would mend his ways.
25. Q: What did respondent do during the time you
were separated?
A: I have learned that he squandered the money
that our restaurant was earning. So I decided to stop his credit card line.
26. Q: What was his reaction to that?
A: Our quarrels became more frequent and intense.
We quarreled especially through email. He was angry that I stopped his credit card line. He begged for me to activate his credit card again but I did not do so since I have learned that he was unfaithful to Page |6 Judicial Affidavit |ANGELINA JOLIE
me. He slept and had sex with another woman not
only once.
27. Q: Did you try to talk and reconcile with each
other?
A: Yes. It was during our vacation in 2016, that we
seriously discussed our marital problems. We agreed to save their marriage for the sake of their children.
28. Q: What happened after that?
A: But even then, our arguments, quarrels and
disagreements on small and big things continued. One of the causes of the bickering at that time, was the fact that he unreasonably forced me to stop going to Singapore to visit my ailing mother. Although I was willing to do everything just to save the marriage but I could not just do that to my mother.
29. Q: Did you undergo a psychological evaluation?
A: Yes, attorney. A psychological evaluation was
conducted in June of 2017. I engaged the services of Dr. Juan Tama, a Clinical Psychologist, for the determination of our psychological evaluation.
30. Q: What were the findings of the evaluation?
A: Based on the report of the clinical evaluation,
my husband is suffering from psychological incapacity which is brought about by his depressive and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. According to the clinical psychologist, Brad’s traits indicate emotional immaturity and unwillingness to listen to criticism. He is sexually inhibited with feelings of inadequacy. He is stubborn, resentful and sarcastic. He is well organized but has low frustration tolerance. As stated in the report of the clinical psychologist, respondent’s psychological incapacity is characterized by gravity and juridical antecedence. Page |7 Judicial Affidavit |ANGELINA JOLIE
31. Q: What was the recommendation of the Clinical
Psychologist?
A: He recommended that I be entitled to a
declaration of nullity of marriage since our personality disorders are tantamount to psychological incapacity to comply with the essential marital obligations set forth by the Family Code.
32. Q: What is your prayer to this Honorable court?
A: I prayed for a favorable decision from this
Honorable Court that our marriage be dissolved.
33. Q: Anything else?
A: That is all attorney.
That I am executing this Judicial Affidavit in order to
attest the truth of the foregoing facts and in lieu of my direct testimony in court.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 5 th
day of September, 2017 at Makati City, Philippines.
