Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce is only creating more tension in the family.
Specifically, their custody battle and disagreements over what is best for their children has lent itself to some tense disputes. According to Us Weekly, Pitt is now fighting to have their children stay with him “overnight for the holidays,” but it looks like Jolie is not inclined to agree.

An insider explained the situation: "The holiday visitation had been set before the custody trial. Brad will see the children on Christmas Day. He is hoping that he will be given increased custodial time with the kids which would result in having them overnight for the holidays this year."
However, that does not necessarily mean that it will happen. The source continued, "The decision will be made by the judge in November."
Earlier this fall, a source told Us exactly what Pitt wants for the custody arrangement--but Jolie is unlikely to agree.
At the time, the source explained, "Brad wants 50/50 joint physical and legal custody of the kids. Angelina has been unagreeable to those terms." A major point of contention? Brad's home base in Los Angeles.
The insider explained, "[She] will only agree to talk about an agreement if the home base for the children isn’t Los Angeles. The younger kids are in school in Los Angeles, which Angelina has always been opposed to. They are very smart and are eager to attend school in person [amid the COVID-19 pandemic]."
Considering they are already struggling to come to an agreement, it seems that this holiday dispute might add fuel to the fire.
The source continued, explaining that tension in the family has "escalated," and adding that their family therapy is "no longer taking place."
Although we won't know whether Brad wins this disagreement until the judge decides, it seems like this is only one of the many hurdles they will have to overcome as they try to navigate co-parenting.
