In the ongoing saga of uncoupling Brangelina, Brad Pitt won a key visitation battle. A judge ruled that Angelina Jolie must allow Pitt visitation with their six kids: four hours of custody every other school day, and 12 hours every other non-school day. Hopefully those children travel light because that is a lot of back-and-forth action on a daily basis. Jolie has been rumored to be withholding the kids from Pitt, and the judge declared he will not sign off on a permanent arrangement until Pitt and his children have time together.
This Divorce Is Anything but Typical
If your gut tells you that this visitation schedule is crazy, you’re right. According to a popular website that lists 22 Common Visitation Schedule Examples, 12 hours on, 12 hours off fails to appear. Shocking! Plans should be devised on what is in the best interest of the children. Granted, each of the Jolie-Pitt children have been raised to have their own distinct personality, but a 12/12 schedule seems to be more about the parents interests than the kids.
Pitt’s victory could be short-lived. Their next court date is scheduled for August 21st.
