Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had a difficult time with their messy split in 2016 and their subsequent child support battle.
Now, however, they are putting all of this behind them, as they are working hard in family therapy together so that they can rebuild their co-parenting relationship for the sake of their six children.
Together, Pitt and Jolie are parents to: Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, Knox, 12, and Vivienne, 12.

After their split, their road to where they are now as a family was anything but simple.
“They definitely needed help figuring out all the child-custody issues and how Brad could be a dad again,” a source told People.
“Since the kids are older now, they are no longer dealing with separation issues from Angie.”
“It’s taken them a long time, with a lot of family therapy, to get to this point,” the source continued, adding that there is no longer as much tension between the pair.
“The younger kids go back and forth between their houses, and Brad loves spending as much time with them as possible. He seems much happier.”
Pitt and Jolie first began dating back in 2005 after meeting on the set of the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
They finally married in 2014 before divorcing up just two years later.
Last month, Jolie opened up about the breakup in an interview with Vogue India magazine.
“I separated for the well-being of my family. It was the right decision. I continue to focus on their healing,” she said.
“Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds. In fact, they are six very brave, very strong young people.”
Back in May, a source close to the situation said that Pitt and Jolie were getting along well.
“Brad’s kids are the most important thing to him. He tells his friends he learns so much about life from his own children,” a source told ET Online.
“He and Angie have been getting along so much better since the custody rules have been worked out. They have come so far.”
