Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on Monday for 'the health of her family', two years after they 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 three biological children as well as their three adopted children - Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, and Zahara, 11.A source close to the couple said that the Maleficent star was upset over the way Pitt was parenting their brood and 'fed up' with his use of weed and alcohol, as well as anger issues.According toPeople Magazine, a Pitt source says Jolie told Pitt she was moving forward with the divorcejust two days before she filed papersin an L.A. court on September 19 – and Pitt was 'wrecked.''He was appealing to her to do this quietly – not to save the marriage but to consider the well-being of the children – and it was ignored,' says the Pitt source.But Jolie – who said in a statement the decision was 'for the health of her family' – did 'what she needed todo,' says a source close to her.Photos emerged today that had beentaken just the day before Jolie blindsided Pitt by filing for divorce that show Jolie's brother James Haven with the couple's three biological children Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Know, eight, at a LA park.Haven and the kids spent time playing baseball and resting at a picnic table during their outing on Sunday.
