Fans in Alabama and worldwide have been paying close attention to a current situation that has developed between Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Not long ago, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt. Since then, a contentious custody battle has arisen regarding the former couple’s six children.

It is not uncommon for problems to surface during a divorce concerning future parenting plans. However, in some situations, such as that of Pitt and Jolie, possible criminal allegations can make matters much worse. Although Pitt has steadfastly denied the accusations against him, his former wife insists he has substance abuse problems and has also committed child abuse.

Federal investigators say they are continuing their investigation into the situation, but they claim they have not yet determined whether they will formally pursue the matter at the federal level. Families experiencing such problems often do their best to move forward in life, despite their troubles. Evidence of this was shown recently in Jolie’s case, as she was photographed with her brother, taking five of her six children to the beach and on a tour of a new rental property.

A positive step appears to have been made in the Pitt-Jolie divorce. It was reported that the two have reached a temporary custody agreement and that each has also agreed to get individual counseling. When there has been an obvious breakdown in communication between spouses who are working their way through divorce in Alabama or another state, it is often helpful to rely on skilled negotiation and effective representation to avoid letting emotions overrule reason.
