The decision, rendered by retired judge John Ouderkirk, who officiates in a private setting and not in a court, validates the principle of equal custody, according to the celebrity news site TMZ.
It comes nearly five years after Angelina Jolie (46 years old today) filed for divorce in September 2016. The actress took legal action to obtain the dismissal of the judge in the case, a procedure still ongoing .
This decision concerns five of the six children of the former couple, Maddox Jolie-Pitt (19) being of legal age, and can be challenged in civil justice.

An investigation was launched by the FBI after an incident reported by TMZ and which would have taken place in September 2016. During a plane trip, Brad Pitt allegedly attacked his children verbally and physically. At the end of its investigations, the American federal police had decided not to initiate any prosecution.
