Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have yet to reach a custody agreement despite reports stating the contrary. A source close to the proceedings tells E! News that reports of a new custody arrangement are false.
The source states that the former couple's original court ordered agreement remains in place. According to court documents, Jolie and Pitt were scheduled to convene on Aug. 21. Our source says this meeting has been postponed. Another source tells E! News that Jolie's and Pitt's lawyers recently met to iron out details for a custody plan for the next few months, which has been "very time consuming."

News, "In terms of the kids' relationship with Brad, Angelina definitely remains committed to helping the kids heal with their father."

The alleged incident reportedly took place onboard the family's private plane. Pitt has been cleared in both investigations and no charges were filed. "I was really on my back and chained to a system when Child Services was called," the actor recalled to GQ. "And you know, after that, we've been able to work together to sort this out. We're both doing our best.
