Brad Pitt lost custody of his children to Angelina Jolie

Five years after their divorce, Hollywood actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie continue their legal battle due to the custody of their five minor children from the former couple. However, it has now become known that the actor has just lost the last legal round with his ex-wife.

The 57-year-old actor gained joint custody of the children in May and lost it in July. Currently the authorities in charge of his case, the Supreme Court of California, have decided not to reopen the case.

The decision that granted Pitt more time with his children was set aside in July due to the fact that the private judge who was handling the case was disqualified and separated by three other judges, according to them, the legal authority would have incurred an “ethical fault” by not disclosing his “professional relationships with Pitt’s advisers,” according to the July ruling, which called into question his “ability to be impartial.”

According to internal sources in the magazine case People, it was announced that apparently on Wednesday “Justice decided simply to deny, without giving further explanations, Pitt’s request to reopen the case.”

The custody agreement now adheres to what was agreed in November 2018 and which gives the full custody of the minors: Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 13, to their mother.

As explained by Brad Pitt’s legal spokesman for the publication, what happened is due to a “technical issue of procedure.” “We will continue to do whatever is legally necessary based on the detailed findings of independent experts,” he said. (I)
