Brad Pitt, 57 and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, 46, have been in court for five years for equal rights to their six children. The former Hollywood couple are parents to six children, including, Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 12.
The former couple had reportedly reached a cordial understanding about co-parenting their kids with the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor spotted leaving the actress’ LA home in June after spending time with the children.
But it later had been claimed the couple was no longer on agreeable terms.
According to sources, Brad is said to be “relieved” about the court’s decision and plans to spend more time with his children.
“He’s so relieved. His only intention is to spend more time with the kids,” a source told MailOnline.

According to reports, Judge John Ouderkirk made his thoughts clear on the ruling.
A source told Page Six: “There was a significant change made in the custody agreements based on an extremely detailed decision made by the judge.
“Brad was just trying to have more time with his kids — and it has been clear that Angie has done everything possible to prevent this.’
The source added: “This trial lasted for several months and there were a f**k ton of witnesses, experts, therapists and other people who have been with the kids and around them, and the decision was based on this.”
Brad and his former wife Jennifer Aniston announced their split after five years of marriage and the Friends actress subsequently filed for divorce in March of 2005.
The following year, the Ocean’s 11 actor and Angelina confirmed their relationship announcing that she was pregnant with the couple’s child Shiloh.
Two years later the couple welcomed twins Knox and Vivienne.
Brad and Angelina tied the knot in 2014 and officially filed for divorce after two years of marriage.
In her divorce filing, Angelina’s attorney said at the time she was doing so for “the health of her family”.
Meanwhile, Jennifer recently joined the cast of Friends for their reunion and gushed over her favourite guests on the hit sitcom.
As the cast began to run through their favourites, Jennifer branded Brad as one of her best show guests.
She remarked: “Mr Pitt was wonderful. He was fantastic.”
