Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce&nbsp;battle is nearing eight years of back and forth as the "Fight Club" star moves on with new girlfriend Ines de Ramon.

Pitt and Jolie&nbsp;could also be holding out over money. Jolie's sale of her half of Miraval earned her a whopping $67 million alone.&nbsp;

"There might still be a lot of money on the table,"&nbsp;Sophie Jacobi-Parisi, a partner in the Matrimonial &amp; Family Law Practice at Blank Rome, told Fox News Digital. "Their business, whatever the value of that company is – whatever other money they're still in dispute about – could be a lot. And, so, there are times when a settlement can't be reached because we're talking about too much money, and we're too far apart."

The former couple's decision to become&nbsp;legally single&nbsp;could be holding them back from a resolution, one legal expert explained.

"If they had to still say they were married – still have to file tax returns as jointly married people as opposed to single — I think that probably would be more of a motivating factor to just get it all done,"&nbsp;Jacobi-Parisi told Fox News Digital. "But now that they're technically legally divorced — but they still have however many financial issues they still have — now it's like a business divorce. So, it's almost like a regular litigation except with your ex-spouse."

Once they were declared legally single, the divorce now "has sort of the animosity and difficulty of processing how to get through a complicated litigation with your ex-spouse.

"Plus, it probably is complicated on some level — this splitting up of their assets, dealing with Miraval. It's not simple. So, now, they're just in an extended litigation that's more like a regular business dispute as opposed to a divorce because they're divorced in their minds."

By drawing out the divorce for almost eight years at this point, the couple is missing out on the "mental health aspect" of "really feeling like I have finished one chapter, and I'm starting a new one for myself and for my kids,"&nbsp;Jacobi-Parisi explained.
