Last Friday, Angelina Jolie filed paperwork with the court to solidify the temporary custodial situation with the six Jolie-Pitt kids. Basically, the temporary solution that Jolie and Brad Pitt agreed to during the CPS investigation would stay in place until Jolie and Pitt worked out something more permanent. Some people believed that Jolie filed that paperwork simply as a public sign that she was not in control of how often Brad got to see the kids – the temporary solution was and is that a psychiatrist decides when and how Brad gets monitored visits. All of this went unanswered (as far as we know) but Brad and his legal team. Until now. Brad filed papers asking for the custodial arrangement situation to be sealed.
Brad Pitt is going to court to keep his custody war with Angelina Jolie private, and sources connected with Brad say his motivation is to thwart her from further damaging their children by airing their dirty laundry in public. Sources connected to the case tell TMZ … Brad filed docs Tuesday in family court, requesting an emergency hearing. We’re told he intends to ask the judge to seal all documents and proceedings related to his and Angelina’s ongoing battle for custody of their 6 kids.
Several sources say Angelina filed the documents because she feared Brad was angling to change their temporary agreement so that he could have unmonitored visits with the children. We’re told Angelina is relying on the family therapist, who says it’s too early for Brad to have unmonitored visits — but she does want him to have solo visits … once the therapist signs off.
Sources connected with Brad, however, are calling BS … saying the only document filed in the case is the one Angelina blasted out to the world … exposing their 6 children to needless pain. Our Brad sources say there was no reason for Angelina to file a private agreement, and make it public other than to trash Brad and make the children collateral damage. We’re told he has made NO move to change the private agreement that was always meant to remain private — and he feels by gratuitously making it public the way Jolie did … it’s evidence she’s a bad parent.
Brad will get his shot within a few hours to argue the case should remain private. We’re told the emergency hearing is slated for Wednesday morning.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I mean, didn’t we always know that the custody battle was going to get worse before it ever got better? I personally think that Jolie filed those papers last Friday because she didn’t want Brad and his people to accuse her of keeping the kids away from him (which, no surprise, they were already doing). She wanted to make it clear – to People Magazine, to TMZ, to everybody else – that it was the psychiatrist’s call, not hers. As for Brad filing this new paperwork… okay. I agree, all of the custodial documents should be sealed. But if they are sealed, will Team Brad stop leaking the info to TMZ and People?
