Brad Pitt has warned Angelina Jolie he is ready to fight for joint custody of their children amid claims she told him ‘I can’t do this any more’ before filing for divorce.

Pitt is said to be ‘furious’ at Jolie for filing for divorce, a move he says could put their kids at risk, and sources have now said there is ‘no chance’ he will allow her to claim sole custody.

Sources close to Pitt told TMZ that he is angry at his estranged wife for allegedly spinning stories about him being a potential risk to their kids because of ‘anger issues and substance abuse’.

Pitt reportedly said the actress has ‘unleashed hell’ because the entire family has become targets for the paparazzi while reports have also claimed that a shocking ‘incident’ may have prompted the divorce.

The actress filed papers citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and asked for physical custody of the couple’s six children – Maddox, age 15; Pax, aged 12; Zahara, aged 11; Shiloh, aged 10; and twins Vivienne and Knox, aged eight.

Over the last few days, Pitt has had conversations with Jolie pleading for her to handle the divorce ‘like adults’, sources told the site.  He said he wanted to keep the divorce under wraps for the benefit of their children.

Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on Monday for ‘the health of her family’, two years after the couple wed at their French estate Chateau Miraval.

The actress filed papers citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and asked for physical custody of the couple’s six children – Maddox, age 15; Pax, aged 12; Zahara, aged 11; Shiloh, aged 10; and twins Vivienne and Knox, aged eight.

A source close to the couple said that Jolie, 41, made the decision to file because of the way ‘Brad was parenting the children,’ adding that ‘she was extremely upset with his methods’.

That same source claims Jolie became ‘fed up’ with Pitt’s consumption of ‘weed and possibly alcohol’ mixed with his ‘anger problem’.

It has also been revealed that Pitt was blindsided and was told that Jolie was divorcing him just a day before she filed the legal papers, a source told the Mirror.

Pitt allegedly visited his lawyer to discuss how to move forward in Los Angeles hours after Jolie met with her lawyer.

The source said the pair had been planning a trip to London but it was canceled Monday, the same day Jolie filed for divorce.

On Tuesday, a source close to Pitt told The Sun Jolie had been ‘very unhappy for some time’ and that there had been a ‘constant string of arguments about their future’.

‘She tried to make the marriage work time and time again for the sake of the children, but they were in turmoil and it became too hard to see a way out,’ the source said, adding: ‘Their lives are heading in completely different directions.

‘Angelina wants to be seen as a humanitarian while Brad continues to live the Hollywood lifestyle and is in the midst of some sort of midlife crisis.

‘She ended up telling him earlier this month, “I can’t do this any more”. He was devastated – but it is over for ever. There will be no fairytale here.’

Meanwhile, a source told US Weekly an ‘incident’ had taken place that prompted Jolie to file for divorce.

‘The final divorce decision was only made one week ago. An incident took place and prompted [Angelina] to act and file,’ the source said.

Pitt and Jolie began dating in early 2005 after they met on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith.

Page Six claimed that it was after Jolie learned through a private eye that Pitt may have been cheating on her with Marion Cotillard on the set of their new film Allied that she made the decision to split from the actor.

But a source close to the couple claims that the actress was so jealous of Cotillard that she refused to speak with the French star after meeting her on the set of the film Allied.

‘Angelina completely ignored Marion on the set, and when Marion tried to talk to her she just looked the other way,’ said the source.

‘Marion was devastated. Here she is thinking she is going to meet this great UN ambassador and instead Angelina refuses to speak to the woman because of her own jealousy.’

The source also said that rumors of an affair between Pitt and Cotillard are ‘100 per cent false’, and that Pitt’s main concern at this time is his children.

‘He does not want them reading anything negative in the press about himself or their mother,’ said the source.

‘He’s not going to get dirty.’

As for the reason for Jolie’s jealousy the source said: ‘Because of the way women view her she projects her own stuff onto innocent women like Marion.’
