After a lengthy and costly divorce that began in 2016, a judge has awarded actor Brad Pitt joint custody of his children with actress Angelina Jolie. The ruling comes after Angelina Jolie pleaded with the judge to have her kids testify in court.

“Angelina Jolie criticized a judge who is deciding on child custody in her divorce with Brad Pitt, saying in a court filing that the judge refused to allow their children to testify,” reported The Associated Press. “Jolie, who has sought to disqualify Judge John Ouderkirk from the divorce case, said in the filing Monday that he declined to hear evidence she says is relevant to the children’s safety and well-being before issuing a tentative ruling. The documents don’t elaborate on what that evidence may be.”
