In any divorce, high profile or otherwise, the battle usually begins with child custody. In the case of the Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt divorce, there are six lives at stake, but the former couple decides to seal all court documents to protect their privacy. A joint statement was recently released by the two actors, saying that they have indeed signed a document to "preserve the privacy rights of their children," Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.

According to a statement released by the couple to CNN following the Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt divorce, "The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification." Jolie is seeking physical custody of all six children, while Pitt is seeking joint custody of both their adopted and biological kids.

In the meantime, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed how the Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt divorce proceedings will use a private judge to keep details of the divorce private and confidential. The pair were married for two years following a 12-year relationship, which spawned three biological children. Shiloh is their first biological daughter born in 2006, followed by twins Knox and Vivienne born in 2008. Rounding up the family are Zahara, Pax, and Maddox, who were adopted by Jolie, and later, Pitt.
