Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Divorce Update: 'Allied' Star's Attempt To Seal Details Of Custody Dispute Rejected

The Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie divorce drama continue. A Los Angeles judge declined a request by actor Brad Pitt to immediately seal court documents and proceedings in his pending divorce from actress Angelina Jolie. The documents in question pertain to custody arrangements for the couple's adopted children.

Los Angeles Superior Court Richard Burdge Jr. rejected the motion, stating in a brief written order the request didn't meet the requirements for sealing documents.

Angelina Jolie filed for divorce Sept. 19 citing conflicting differences. Jolie and Pitt have been together since 2004 but were not married until August 2014. The couple has six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.

The filing of divorce came in the result of an evident above ground argument involving the A-list actors and at least one of their children, Maddox, that led to investigations by the FBI and Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.

The DCFS has not publicly commented, although the agency was reported to have resolute that Brad Pitt did not abuse the boy. The FBI announced that it had reviewed the matter and opted not to pursue any further investigation.

The attorney of Angelina Jolie filed court papers, marking out a temporary custody agreement reached between the separated spouses, with Jolie maintaining primary custody and Pitt allowed to a monitored visit at the good sense of psychologist. The papers are also noted that Pitt is subjected to a drug and alcohol laboratory test.

An anonymous source complained to People Magazine that "Angelina has consistently made public statements and public filings throughout this process. He has not."

Brad Pitt stated through his lawyers that there was a request for privacy of his children. However, Angelina Jolie's attorneys answered that it was indirect attempt to defend himself, rather than protect their children from the public.

Mr. Pitt's lawyers asked a judge to retain an emergency hearing to have all documents and proceedings in the case sealed. One of Pitts's attorneys, Lance Spiegel, stated at the news that the judge declined to hold an emergency hearing, but agreed to review the issue in January.
