Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been working on finalizing their divorce since they separated in 2016. It seems like they are finally reaching the end of this process.
According to a source, the negotiations have been difficult, but the financial documents were recently filed. This step marks a sense of relief for Brad, as he is eager to move forward and put an end to their relationship.
Jolie, 48, will have primary custody of their three minor children: Shiloh, 17, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15. They also have sons Maddox, 22, and Pax, 20, and daughter Zahara, 19. Pitt, 60, is not happy with the decision but agreed to it because it was better than Jolie getting full custody as she initially wanted.

The insider notes that the primary custody agreement is a big deal for Jolie. She believes that Brad is responsible for their divorce and feels it is her responsibility to protect their children. As a result, she has not been willing to compromise at all.
Although Pitt still has visitation rights, a third source mentions that it is unfortunate that he does not get to see the kids as much as he would prefer.
"He wants to strengthen their relationship and is committed to working on it," the source reveals.
Custody is just one of the issues being resolved in court by Jolie and Pitt. Recently, a judge allowed Pitt to pursue legal action against Jolie for selling her share of the French company Miraval to Tenute del Mondo without Pitt's approval.
