Angelina Jolie retains full custody of her six children as she and Brad Pitt reach an agreement

Angelina Jolie will continue to have sole custody of her six children with Brad Pitt in an agreement reached by the actors, a representative for the actress said Monday...According to dailymail

The agreement calls for the former couple's six children, who range in ages from eight to 15, to continue to have 'therapeutic visits' with Pitt.

Jolie filed for divorce in September, days after Pitt was involved in a disturbance during a private flight with his family. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the breakup, and an attorney said at the time she filed for divorce 'for the health of the family.' 

Monday's statement said the agreement was reached more than a week ago in consultation with childcare professionals. It says no further details could be provided, and it makes no mention of an investigation by child welfare workers into the plane incident.

Pitt and Jolie Pitt reached a temporary custody agreement in late September that included at least some of the same terms — visitation with his children and both sides agreeing to meetings with therapists. 

'In accordance with this agreement,' the statement from Jolie's rep claimed, 'the six children will stay in their mother's custody, and the children will continue therapeutic visits with their father. This has been determined by childcare professionals to be in the children's best interest.'  

'We are not in a position to discuss the details,' the rep continued. 'We hope now that it is clear that the events which led to the dissolution filing involved minor children and their wellbeing, there will be understanding of the sensitivity of the family situation.'

'We believe that all sides are committed to healing the family and ask for your consideration during this difficult time,' Monday's statement concluded.

While Entertainment Tonight reports the agreement between the former couple is 'indefinite' and is separate from the voluntary safety plan implemented by the Department of Child and Family Services.

A source told ET the agreement has 'no time frame to it, it is in place until they decide to make a change'.

Other reports emerged on Monday claiming the agreement was temporary and not legally binding. 

TMZ claims the custody arrangement is only temporary until the Department of Children and Family Services closes its investigation. 

The website reports that the agreement is simply an extension of a prior arrangement reached by the estranged couple with Pitt having monitored visitations with the children under the guidance of a therapist as the DCFS continues its investigation.

According to TMZ, the agreement was extended last week but is not a settlement nor does it bear on Pitt's filing for joint custody. 

Reps for both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been contacted by Daily Mail. 

The news comes after Pitt, 52, asked for joint physical and legal custody of the six children he shares with Jolie on Friday, which appears to conflict with the statement released by Jolie's rep.
