Brangelina: Jolie granted guardianship of all six children

Pitt to participate in random drug testing as per court orders

LOS ANGELES: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally arrived at a decision regarding the future of their children, with the former getting sole custody.

The estranged couple have been locked in a bitter war over their six children Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne since the beginning of September. However, according to court documents, a judge has granted the 41-year-old Jolie sole legal guardianship of all six.

According to the legal paperwork, the 52-year-old Pitt will continue to have “therapeutic visitations” with the children, as previously agreed on October 2. But it will be down to the family’s therapist to make the decision, as well as whether the kids want to see their father at all or not.

The judge has also made it mandatory for Pitt to participate in random drug and alcohol testing, something he previously volunteered to do on an ad hoc basis, as well as attend weekly individual and group therapy sessions with a counsellor.

“Originally, Pitt had volunteered to do the drug and alcohol testing himself. But now that a judge has signed off on these docs, it has become mandatory and cannot be reversed without another court filing,” said a source.
