Her split from Brad Pitt was announced less than a week ago.

And Angelina Jolie is clearly determined to keep their six children out of the dramatic divorce proceedings, after a huge pizza delivery was seen arriving at her rented LA mansion on Monday.

The 41-year-old Mr And Mrs Smith star’s pizza arrival comes shortly after it was revealed she has asked for sole physical custody in her divorce filing in what is set to be a battle between the pair.

Angelina is seeking joint legal custody but sole physical custody of the children she shares with Brad – Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

After the divorce announcement, the stunning star has upped sticks with her children and moved into a rented mansion in Los Angeles – where her pizza delivery was seen arriving.
People magazine report the furnished five bedroom mansion is ‘a very peaceful property and very kid-friendly’, with a source saying that the home rents for $95,000 a month.

It appeared to be a bodyguard who headed out to grab the pizza, which seemed to allude to Angelina keeping herself to herself in her temporary digs.

Shortly after Angelina’s delivery, Brad’s brother Douglas was spotted in their hometown of Springfield, Missouri, where he declined to comment on his sibling’s situation.

Brad and Angelina will likely have no problems when it comes to dividing their financial assets – but will be going to ‘war’ over the custody of their six children.

According to TMZ, the couple, who were only married for two years, have an iron-clad pre-nuptial agreement which makes dividing their $400m fortune simple.

The two also share 12 properties scattered around the world, though most were purchased before the two were together. Brad, 52, owns seven of those properties and Angelina has two while three were bought while they were dating but not yet married.

The three properties the pair purchased while they were together include an apartment in New York City’s Waldorf Astoria, a $6.5million mansion in the French Quarter of New Orleans and their French vineyard and estate Chateau Miraval, which they purchased for $60million.

Brad will not be fighting over these properties though thanks to the documents the two signed before their marriage, but rather for joint physical custody of the children after Angelina

A parent with legal custody can make decisions about the child’s schooling, religious upbringing and medical care and so on. Physical custody means that a parent has the right to have a child live with him or her.

Maddox was adopted by Angelina from Cambodia when he was only a few months old back in 2002 – while she was still married to Billy Bob Thornton.

Angelina and Billy Bob split just three months later and divorced the following year, with Thornton never legally adopting the boy.

The actress and Brad then began dating sometime around 2004 or 2005, and in 2006 Brad adopted both Maddox and his little sister Zahara.

That was also the year the couple had their first biological daughter, Shiloh.

Pax was adopted by the couple the following year and in 2008 Jolie gave birth to the pair’s biological twins, Knox and Vivienne.

This news about the couple’s upcoming divorce battle comes amidst reports that Angelina has blocked Brad‘s phone number and that the actor has not seen the children in over a week.

She is said to have chosen to ignore any contact from her estranged husband after she filed for divorce from him earlier this week.

‘Angelina has blocked all incoming text messages and also Brad’s numbers,’ a source told Us Weekly.

It was previously claimed that the actor has been left ‘completely devastated’ by his divorce.

‘He is beside himself and has been crying. He was completely caught off guard and blindsided and had no idea she would do this,’ an insider shared.

‘Angelina filed the court papers a minute before the courts closed on Monday night. He didn’t have a lawyer or anything.

‘She had threatened divorce in the past but he did not think she would file this time. He is completely devastated and beside himself. He is a shattered man.’

The source continued: ‘He’s extremely upset. But he is totally focused on just being helpful and making sure his kids are doing as well as possible.’

And Brad is reportedly disappointed their split had to ‘play out publicly.’

‘He is emotionally torn. Right now, he is devastated. He still loved Angelina and would have preferred they fight to make the marriage work,’ a friend added.

‘He was willing to do whatever it took to save the marriage and didn’t know Angelina had already given up on it. He has wanted to protect the children. He didn’t want it to play out publicly.’

Meanwhile, it’s been over a week since Pitt has seen his kids. He has reportedly been apart from the children since Angelina filed for divorce.

Brad is keen to see them as soon as possible, despite currently being under investigation by the FBI following reports of alleged child abuse.

‘He knows the severity of the allegations and wants to be cleared of abuse before he sees them,’ a source claimed.

‘He is confident he will be cleared. The kids are asking to see Brad, so he is hoping to see them next week,’ the source said.

Among the the many circulating theories about the cause of their bombshell break-up this week are reports Brad got drunk on a private jet with his family en route to Los Angeles and was seen fighting with his eldest son Maddox during a refueling stop in Minnesota.

And while Angelina had listed September 15 as the date she and her husband of two years separated, she had already organized a $95,000 a month home for her and her six children to live in.

A source confirms to the DailyMail.com she rented the ocean front home three weeks before filing for divorce in a Los Angeles’ court on September 19.

Angelina, who has hired celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser (who recently defended Johnny Depp through his divorce from Amber Heard), filed for divorce from Brad last Monday for ‘the health of her family’, two years after the couple wed at their French estate Chateau Miraval.

This will be the third divorce for Jolie, who was previously married to Elementary star Johnny Lee Miller for three years after the pair met on the set of the film Hackers.

She later wed Billy Bob just two months after the pair began dating when they met on the set of Pushing Tin.

Billy Bob had been engaged to actress Laura Dern at the time.

Brad’s first marriage to Jennifer Aniston ended in 2005, with rumors swirling at the time that it was because of his relationship with Angelina.
