The custody battle in the Brangelina divorce case has finally reached a decision and Pitt's fans may not be so happy about it.

According to E! Online, all six of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children that include 15-year-old Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 12-year-old Pax Jolie-Pitt, 11-year-old Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 10-year-old Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt will remain in Jolie's custody.

A representative for the 41-year-old actress released a statement that says, "We can confirm that childcare professionals have encouraged a legal agreement accepted and signed by both sides over a week ago. In accordance with this agreement, the six children will stay in their mother's custody, and the children will continue therapeutic visits with their father."

"We are not in a position to discuss the details. We hope now that it is clear that the events which led to the dissolution filing involved minor children and their well being, there will be understanding of the sensitivity of the family situation. We believe that all sides are committed to healing the family and ask for your consideration during this difficult time," the statement continued.

Meanwhile, a separate source explained that the couple did not "settle" on anything regarding their children and that there is no change in the status of their previous voluntary agreement.

Just last week, Pitt filed for joint custody of children more than a month after his wife had asked for sole custody as she filed for a divorce citing irreconcilable differences

The 'Ocean 11' actor has been under investigation by the 'Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services' over a mid-air altercation on a private aircraft on September 14 with eldest son Maddox.
