They were reported to have reached an interim custody agreement regarding their six children in late summer.
But it seems that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have not been able to come to a permanent solution as their bitter divorce drags on.
The two Hollywood stars are set to duke it out in court, according to TMZ Monday, with December 4 set as the date for the start of a custody trial.
Bitter split: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reportedly failed to reach a permanent custody agreement over their six children. They will now battle it out in court, according to TMZ
The celebrity exes have filed paperwork in Los Angeles asking to be given until next June to hash out the details of their split with the help of a retired private judge.
The proceedings will take place behind closed doors with Jolie seeking sole custody of the children while Pitt wants shared custody.
The two, who met on the set of the 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith and married in 2014, share Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 10-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
The private judge will also oversee the division of property as part of the divorce settlement since Pitt and Jolie didn’t have a prenup.
