Is Angelina alienating kids from Brad?

-

The custody battle between estranged couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie just heated up, with a judge ordering new restrictio­ns for Jolies involvemen­t in Pitts interactio­n with their six children. According to court documents obtained by people.com, Jolie could be in danger of losing primary custody of the children if she doesn’t take steps to improve their relationsh­ip with their father.

A judge in the estranged couple’s ongoing divorce case said in the documents that “it is critical that each of (the six) children have a healthy and strong relationsh­ip with their father and mother” and that Jolie must allow Pitt to maintain that.

The judge also outlined specific steps Jolie should take to aid Pitt’s access to the children, including a detailed summer visitation schedule, and easy phone access between Pitt and each of the kids, without monitoring or interferen­ce from their mother. According to the court documents, the kids have to continue to see their therapist with Pitt.

Family law attorney David Glass, who is not associated with the case, told people.com that it “is extremely rare” to see a court intervene in this way though they typically do so after extensive evaluation and to prevent children from being alienated from one parent. “It looks like what this judge was weighing was the difference between estrangeme­nt and alienation,” said Glass, who has not had access to the court documents.
