Since Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on September 19, 2016, they have been embroiled in a custody battle over their children. Jolie had full custody until May 2021 when Pitt was granted joint custody, over four and a half years after proceedings began.<ref>{{cite news|date=May 26, 2021|title=Brad Pitt awarded joint custody of children with Angelina Jolie|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-57259969|url-status=live|work=[[BBC News]]|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210528210732/https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-57259969|archive-date=May 28, 2021|access-date=November 12, 2021}}</ref> However, in July, Los Angeles superior court judge John W. Ouderkirk was removed from the case due to concerns over his impartiality as he did not sufficiently disclose business relationships with Pitt's lawyers. This resulted in the custody arrangement reverting to a previous November 2018 agreement where Jolie has primary physical custody while Pitt has "custodial time" with their minor children.<ref>{{cite news|last=White|first=Debbie|date=October 28, 2021|title=Angelina Jolie wins latest round in bitter custody battle with Brad Pitt|url=https://www.thetimes.com/world/article/angelina-jolie-wins-latest-round-in-bitter-custody-battle-with-brad-pitt-58g7hs5hv|url-status=live|work=[[The Times]]|archive-url=https://archive.today/20211028110435/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/angelina-jolie-wins-latest-round-in-bitter-custody-battle-with-brad-pitt-58g7hs5hv|archive-date=October 28, 2021|access-date=November 12, 2021|url-access=limited}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Sachdeva|first=Maanya|date=October 28, 2021|title=Brad Pitt's custody petition for review in custody case with Angelina Jolie denied|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-divorce-b1946772.html|url-status=live|work=[[The Independent]]|archive-url=https://archive.today/20211112033806/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-divorce-b1946772.html|archive-date=November 12, 2021|access-date=November 12, 2021}}</ref>
