Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie came to an agreement regarding their six children, according to TMZ which quotes confidential sources. These sources declared to the journalists that the famous Hollywood couple, going through a divorce, got to an agreement regarding the children, at the recommendation of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, a family protection structure. Both Jolie and Pitt will have to go to counseling sessions and the actor agreed to be tested again for a possible alcohol and drug addiction although the previous investigation showed negative results. Jolie will get the custody of all the 6 children, with the help of divorce and custody lawyers, and Pitt is allowed to visit them. His first meeting with the children will be supervised by a therapist who will decide the circumstances in which the ulterior visits will take place.

After more than ten years together and two years of marriage, Angelina Jolie requested on September 19 the divorce and requested the custody of the six children: three adopted – Maddox (Cambodia), Pax (Vietnam) and Zahara (Ethiopia) – and three-biological Shiloh and the twins Knox and Vivienne. Brad Pitt, to whom Angelina Jolie initially suggested only the right to visit the children, requested on November 4, the custody of their children, as a reply to the divorce action. The custody of children appeared to be an important point of friction, especially in the light of the information according to which the way in which the actor treated the children could be one of the reasons that made the actress to ask the divorce. In this respect, the department of children and family services of Los Angeles opened an investigation after a supposed incident that occurred in the Pitt-Jolie private airplane in September, when Brad Pitt would have exceeded the limit, verbally and physically, with his son Maddox, 15 years old.

Subsequently, the couple reached a temporary agreement through which the actress obtained the custody of the six children, waiting for a definitive solution.
