Angelina Jolie is demanding custody of her and Brad Pitt's children amid claims she has become increasingly worried about the actor’s strict parenting skills.
The move came after sources close to the actress claimed she had been left furious by the way “Brad was parenting the children,” adding “she was extremely upset with his methods.”
The Tomb Raider star is also alleged to have became “fed up” with his use of weed and possibly alcohol, a mix she believes led to an “an anger problem”.
According to reports in the US, however, the final straw came after Jolie was forced to hire a private investigator to follow her husband over concerns he was cheating on her with the co-star of his latest film Allied, French actress Marion Cotillard.
Lawyers for the actress confirmed she had filed papers on Monday citing irreconcilable differences.
Her attorney Robert Offer told the Mirror: “This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting, and asks that the family be given its privacy at this time.”
Commenting on the divorce Pitt added: “I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids.”
In her divorce petition, which stated the couple split last Thursday, Jolie has asked for physical custody of the couple’s six children demanding a judge only give Pitt visitation rights.
A source told the Mirror: “Angie is incredible hurt by the break up. She thought their marriage was for life.
“But over the past few months the arguments have become more, the spending time together less.
“She doesn’t want a dime from Brad but is determined to have physical custody of the kids
“It is hugely significant as she does not want him to have joint, just legal, custody.
“She told her lawyers in no uncertain terms ‘The children stay with me’.
“Angie was constantly torn by the way she wants to the children to be brought up to the way Brad thinks they should be.
“They have not seen eye-to-eye over the raising of the kids for a long time. It has been a source of constant tension.”
