Brad Pitt has asked for complete legal and physical custody of his six children in a legal filing. The 52-year-old actor has at last checked off a box asking for joint custody. Though he did not respond for a long time, his final little move has now set in motion the big battle. It has taken the legal challenge to a new level.
In their entire war with each other, there seems to be no dialogue or even a war of words between them - just a lot of aloofness, silence, depression, heavy loss of weight, reports of addictive drinking and professional suicide.
Pitt does not seem to be attending any official engagements, and nor is Jolie. An inside source said: "She's canceled everything else - work, everything. She's been home each day, supporting them, helping them with homework, been there constantly. And no, this isn't with a big staff of nannies and helpers."
Meanwhile, the child abuse investigation against Pitt is still ongoing right now in El Lay.
How could such an affectionate couple subject themselves, each other, and their children to so much stress? The entire episode just smacks of their split personalities.
On the one hand, the 41-year-old actress has publicly charged Pitt with child abuse, but on the other hand, she has also clarified that she does not want him to be prosecuted. She said she wants to become "radio silent" if the 'Fury' star is charged.
With both of them being so demonstrative about being caring and loving to each other, and also deeply devoted to their children, it is just not clear why they are agreeing to split the family.
There is just one party in the battle that both the celebrities are obsessed with, yet whose opinions and inclinations they have overlooked.
The children.
When Angelina said that she was concerned about the "health" of the family, did she anticipate that such a tumultuous divorce racket would not hit everyone's health and happiness?
And if Brad Pitt is so caring about his family, why didn't he take some special measures to stop his addictive drinking?
All the actions of the Jolie-Pitt family emerge as completely confused, with a split in the middle of the head. Often the right brain does not seem to know what the left is doing.
