Money Ball actor, Brad Pitt, is certainly not happy about the way his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, is handling their custody battle with their children. It is believed, he feels, that she’s putting them in the public too much during their messy divorce. A source close to Brad Pitt said, “Brad continues to be disappointed and disapproving of Angelina’s actions with their children during their custody war.”
As reported in HollywoodLife, “Brad feels like Angie manipulates the kids, trots them out in public to make it look like she is an amazing mother in an attempt to win the divorce war in the court of public opinion, which is upsetting to Brad. While Brad continues to nurture his relationship with the kids privately, behind closed doors, he is bothered every time Angelina puts the kids on display in public, something Brad is working hard to avoid while the divorce war rages on. He thinks the kids’ privacy is most important during this time and it makes him sad that Angelina does not protect the children the same way.”
However, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s custody battle has been going on for two years and they have an upcoming custody trial that will take place on December 4, unless they agree on a settlement.
In is reported that, Angelina wants full custody of their kids, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 10. Whereas, Brad wants joint custody.
California family law attorney David T Pisarra recently told HollywoodLife, that although Angelina is doing all she can to get full custody, there’s about a ‘one percent’ chance that will probably not happen since Brad is a stable person and isn’t violent with their kids. Also, their oldest son Maddox, 17, is not a part of the custody battle since he’s old enough to make his own decision about whether he wants to be with Brad or Angelina.
A source told HollywoodLife, that despite going thorugh the tough situation currently, Angelina wants to make sure all the kids enjoy both parents around for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
Again, a source close to the actress said, “Angelina wants to surprise the kids and have their father over for Thanksgiving dinner. Angelina knows the kids would love Brad to be there for the special day. She would love to recreate that bonding time for her kids.”
We really hope that the couple would be able to put aside their differences, this holiday season.
