Brad Pitt granted joint custody of his children with Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in happier times


It has been one of Hollywood’s most-watched and protracted custody battles, and while the judge has ruled that Pitt and Jolie will have joint custody of their six children, it’s not over yet.

It’s been four years since they announced their divorce and now it's reported that the judge has granted 'tentative' joint custody.

The Hollywood superstars are parents to Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox,  their oldest child Maddox, 19, is not subject to the custody decision.

However despite the outcome, according to Sky news Jolie still has issues of concern and criticized the judge for not allowing the children to testify, calling it an unfair trial. She is said to be appealing the decision.

Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston when he met Angelina Jolie on the set of the film Mr & Mrs. Smith in 2005. They married in 2014 but Jolie filed for divorce just two years later.

During the lengthy divorce, Pitt was accused of being abusive towards Maddox, a subsequent investigation did not result in any charges. Jolie has been vocal about having left the marriage to protect her family.
