Angelina Jolie Files for Divorce From Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt and the trigger was a conflict over the kids… TMZ has learned.

Jolie filed legal docs Monday citing irreconcilable differences.

She’s asking for physical custody of the couple’s six children.  She is asking the judge to give Pitt visitation.  It’s significant …she does not want Brad to have joint physical custody … only joint legal custody.

Sources connected with the couple tell us … Angelina’s decision to file has to do with the way Brad was parenting the children … she was extremely upset with his methods.

Jolie, who’s being repped by disso queen Laura Wasser, is not asking for spousal support.

Jolie lists the date of separation as Sept. 15, 2016.

They married in August, 2014.  They’ve been together since 2004.
