Brad Pitt is seeking joint custody of his six children with estranged wife Angelina Jolie, according to a divorce filing.
The actor's request comes after Jolie asked for full physical custody of all their children.
Jolie cited "irreconcilable differences" as a reason for the couple's breakup on September 19.
Pitt was accused of being abusive towards his eldest son Maddox, 15, on a plane earlier that month.
