Brad Pitt could use 'supervised visitation' to win joint custody?

Brad Pitt took a breath of relief this week when a judge ordered Angelina Jolie to allow the actor more hours with their six children. Prior to the recent ruling, the actor has had all his visits with his six children supervised by an adviser provided by the court.

As per the recent claims, Brad Pitt could use these supervised visitations in his favour to find out if his estranged wife is turning everyone against him.

According to a report from Hollywood Life, Brad could use the future supervised visits in his favour to know if his estranged wife is "trying to poison the kids" against him.

"The use of supervised visitation can be useful for Brad to prove abuse by Angelina because an independent third-party can observe what is going on between Brad and his kids," explained a California Family Law Attorney to the news outlet.

Brad Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston when he started shooting Mr. & Mrs. Smith with Angelina Jolie. When Jennifer filed for divorce, there were several reports which claimed that Brad is in an alleged relationship with his co-star. Both Angelina and Brad dismissed such claims.

However, they soon started to date and became the talk of the entire entertainment world. As a couple, they both did some excellent humanitarian works. The couple even adopted children from all around the world.

When Brad and Angelina officially announced their decision to end their marriage, there were reports that claimed that the actress is reportedly planning to settle in London with all the six children. However, such reports were soon debunked by their spokespersons. A recent report, however, talks about the ongoing custody battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Ever since Brangelina's split in September 2016, the actress is having a primary custody of their six children. But Brad is only allowed to be with kids when a court-ordered supervisor is present.

Earlier this week, the Fight Club movie actor was awarded more visiting hours with the kids and there are speculations that he might obtain a joint custody during an upcoming court hearing.

"Brad could also ask for a minor's counsel, which is a lawyer whose job it is to interview the children and represent the children's best interest. If the kids are saying one thing to their parents, but having a completely different reaction to the minor's counsel, this could be an indicator they are being coached by one parent," the attorney explained.
