The custody battle is over but the war continues.
And what a war it is. Four years and eight months, and heavens knows how many millions in legal bills, after they split, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have finally reached a landmark arrangement over five of their six children.

Pitt, 57, has won the 50/50 shared custody he wanted of the children, now aged between 12 and 17.

The case has been dragged out so long that eldest son Maddox is now 19, at university in Korea, and mercifully free of the whole ugly mess — legally at least.

But the order — handed down on May 13 — does not herald the outbreak of peace within this fractured family.

Not by a long, long way.

Jolie, 45, is appealing against the judgment, and it can be revealed that she is trying to get the judge thrown off the case, which will mean that his decision is 'vacated' or, in plain English, nullified.
