Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s five-year custody battle finally has a resolution for now. Pitt has been awarded joint custody of his five children (oldest son Maddox is 19 years old and not subject to the custody decision) after the private judge hired by the couple, Judge John Ouderkirk, made his ruling, per Page Six.
This ruling impacts sons Pax, 17, and Knox, 12, and daughters Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and Vivienne, 12. While Jolie reportedly “supports joint custody,” according to her lawyer Peter Harvey, via Associated Press, there were other issues to iron out that the actress felt weren’t heard throughout the months-long hearing. The biggest area of concern was that Ouderkirk “refused to hear the minor teenagers’ input as to their experiences, needs, or wishes as to their custody fate,” and according to California code, children 14 and over should be allowed to testify if they so desire.

Everyone has their personal dealbreakers when it comes to love and relationships. Someoneâs constant inability to show up on time would drive my best friend crazy, but I donât really mind (probably because Iâm usually the same way). For some people, their list of no-nos is short, while others have an entire novelâs worth. For Angelina Jolie, who s been split up from fellow actor Brad Pitt for several years now, the latter rings true.

LOS ANGELES â Prosecutors will no longer seek the death penalty for the mother of Anthony Avalos and her boyfriend, who are accused of torturing the 10-year-old Lancaster boy for days before his death in 2018, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gasconâs office confirmed Saturday.
A grand jury indicted Heather Maxine Barron, 31, and Kareem Ernesto Leiva, 35, in October 2018 on charges that they murdered the boy and abused two other children in the household.
Barron and Leiva are being held without bail. Both have pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors have said the couple poured hot sauce on Anthonyâs face and mouth, whipped the boy with a looped cord and belt, and held him upside down and dropped him on his head repeatedly. They also alleged that the couple alternately withheld food and force-fed him, slammed him into furniture and the floor, denied access to the bathroom, and enlisted other children in the home to inflict pain.
