Court documents acquired by Us Weekly also state Jolie must provide her ex with “each of the minor children’s personal cellphone numbers so that [he] may text them.” She is reportedly not allowed to monitor the texts.
The former couple separated in September 2016. All six children have been living with their mother since the split. A source told the outlet that they are continuing to work on their divorce settlement.
“There hasn’t even been a settled agreement drafted by either side, which reveals how at odds they continue to be.”
The custody disagreement reports come a few months after rumors floated about the actors discreetly starting to see other people. A rumor linked Jolie to a real estate agent, which was quickly discredited by sources.
“Angie isn’t dating a real estate agent. She isn’t even dating at the moment,” the source said. “Yes, she has hung out with a couple of guys over the last year, but it’s extremely low-key.”
