According to a source, “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.”

In documents submitted to California’s Second District Court of Appeals on Monday, Jolie tried to dismiss the judge. Apparently, Jolie’s lawyers argued the judge, “has failed to adequately consider … input as to their experiences, needs, or wishes,” in violation of a state legal code that allows minors 14 to 17 to testify.
