Maleficient actress Angelina Jolie will reportedly fight for custody over her children until Brad Pitt cleans up his act.
The breakup of the century
Jolie is insisting on primary physical custody of the couple’s six kids, and wants Pitt to only have monitored visitations until his behaviour improves, according to TMZ sources. Pitt filed legal documents on Friday, asking for joint security but Joie believes her former husband to have “substance abuse and anger issues” which will hinder his visitation rights.
Jolie was temporary physical custody, at the moment, of their six kids; Maddox (15), Pax (12), Zahara (11), Shiloh (10) and twins Vivienne and Knox (8).
While the children have been visited by Pitt their eldest child Maddox has reportedly refused to see him.
It is thought that Jolie wants to repair the family so she and Pitt can resume a normal parenting regime but until his ‘issues’ are addressed she will fight hard for sole physical custody. It appears that the fight for access to the children may get vicious as her team have repeated off-the-record allegations that the World War Z actor is a “bad dad” with “anger-management issues exacerbated by a love of weed and alcohol.”
The LA county department of Children and Family Services are still investigating a confrontation between Pitt and Maddox that happened in September on a private plane. Jolie and Pitt were reportedly arguing when the 15 year old intervened, Jolie divorced citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ and sold physical custody days later.
Pitt has denied any abusive behaviour towards the children. Recently Jolie and her kids were reportedly interviewed by the FBI in regards to the incident
There is no apparent financial disputes despite owning three of their twelve properties together (seven belong to Pitt and two to Jolie) so the battle looks set to focus entirely on the custody arrangements for their six children.
The actor'steam told TMZ that the custody arrangement is riding on the conclusions of DCFS, “and they believe the agency will determine Brad is a good parent.” Whilst another alleged source in the Jolie camp told TMZ that the fight is looking more and more like “War of the Roses redux.”
