LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Hollywood superstars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached an ‎amicable agreement on the custody of their six children, avoiding a potentially messy public trial, US ‎media reported on Friday.‎ ‎Pitt and Jolie announced their separation in September 2016 after two years of marriage and 11 years ‎together.‎ ‎ Three of their children are their biological children, and the other three are adopted.‎ ‎ "A custody arrangement was agreed two weeks ago, and has been signed by both parties and the ‎judge," Jolie’s lawyer, Samantha Bley DeJean, said in a statement carried by several US celebrity news ‎outlets including TMZ.‎ ‎ "The agreement, which is based on the recommendations of the child custody evaluator, eliminates ‎the need for a trial," she said.‎ ‎ The couple had been set for a trial on December 4 the deal means they will not battle in court.‎ ‎ Jolie originally wanted to have sole custody of the children, while Pitt asked for shared custody.‎ ‎ The terms of the agreement are confidential, DeJean said.‎ ‎ The couple is still working out the details of their divorce, with the distribution of assets reportedly ‎proving especially thorny. Jolie and Pitt did not have a prenuptial agreement.‎ Inp/khan
