REPORT: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt strike temporary custody deal, includes therapy and random drug testing


Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reportedly agreed to a temporary custody deal.

After the Department of Children and Family Services made its recommendations, Jolie and Pitt came to a temporary agreement that lasts for another three weeks, according to TMZ. Jolie will reportedly get full physical custody of their six children, and Pitt will get visitation -- though not without a few stipulations.

According to the report, Brad's first visit will have to be with a therapist present, who can then either allow the actor future unmonitored visits, or insist on being present when he's around the kids. Pitt will also reportedly be subject to random drug and alcohol testing.

Individual counseling for both 41-year-old Jolie and 52-year-old Pitt is also reportedly part of the agreement, as well as family counseling with the children when both are present.

A source close to the Pitt-Jolie child custody dispute told ET on Thursday that camps for the A-list stars had recently been having "productive discussions."

"The fact that things have quieted down is a good sign for everyone," the source noted.

The source also previously told ET that while authorities did not require Pitt to take an earlier drug test, he voluntarily took one as a sort of preemptive strike in the custody battle process.

Pitt wanted to resolve his issues with Jolie "amicably and privately," according to the source, adding that he had become frustrated by the "smear campaign" being lodged against him.

ET confirmed on Thursday that Jolie's team was consulting with world-renowned crisis manager Judy Smith, the real-life inspiration for Kerry Washington's character, Olivia Pope, on the hit ABC drama Scandal. Earlier, a source close to the Pitt-Jolie situation told ET that the actress' closest female friends, Lady Arminka Helic and Chloe Dalton, had been advising Jolie and had been "fueling the actress' aggressive approach against Pitt" from the beginning.

But Jolie wasn't the only one beefing up her representation. Last week, a source told ET that a New York-based strategic communications firm had been asked to advise Pitt. The actor also enlisted Beverly Hills attorney Lance Spiegel as one his lawyers, who's previously represented many celebs in family law issues, including Eva Longoria in her divorce from Tony Parker.

Prior to their split, the power couple did not have personal public relations representatives.

Jolie had asked for physical custody of their children in her divorce filing earlier this month -- 15-year-old Maddox, 10-year-old Shiloh, 12-year-old Pax, 11-year-old Zahara, and 8-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox -- and listed their date of separation as Sept. 15. The two were married for two years, but had been dating since 2004, after meeting on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith while Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston.
