Angelina Jolie Pitt will continue to have sole custody of her six children with Brad Pitt in a joint agreement reached by the actors, a representative for the actress said Monday.
The voluntary agreement calls for the former couple’s six children, who range in ages from 8 to 15, to continue to have “therapeutic visits” with Pitt for the time being. It is unclear what therapeutic visits entailed, and Jolie Pitt’s representatives said they could not provide additional details.
Monday’s statement said the agreement was reached more than a week ago, although Pitt told a court on Friday that he is seeking joint custody.
Jolie Pitt filed for divorce in September, days after Pitt was involved in a disturbance during a private flight with his family.
The statement makes no mention of an investigation by child welfare workers into the plane incident.
The agreement has not been filed in the couple’s divorce, and may not be the final custody arrangement governing the actors’ children.
“We believe that all sides are committed to healing the family and ask for your consideration during this difficult time,” Monday’s statement said.
The actor filed a legal response to the divorce on Friday and sought joint custody of the children.
