Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt and the trigger was a conflict over the kids, substance abuse and anger … it has been revealed.

Jolie filed legal docs Monday citing irreconcilable differences.

She’s asking for physical custody of the couple’s 6 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 say … Angelina’s decision to file has to do with the way Brad was parenting the children … she was extremely upset with his methods.

Our sources say, Angelina became “fed up” with Brad’s consumption of weed and possibly alcohol, and mixed with what she believes is “an anger problem” … felt it became dangerous for the children.

Indeed, Angelina’s entertainment attorney Robert Offer says she made the decision “for the health of the family.”

We’re told there was no alleged “third person” … her decision to file was solely over Brad’s interaction with their children.

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

According to the court documents, the pair separated on September 15, two years and one month after they married in August 2014.

Jolie is seeking physical custody of their six children and asking the court to grant Pitt visitation.

She is also asking to keep “miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects” as well as any earnings from after the date of their separation and other separate assets to be determined later.

Already there is speculation that a tabloid-friendly, child-unfriendly custody battle may ensue over their six children. But a source close to them asserted that both sides want a cordial breakup.

“Other than the fame of the people involved, this is like so many other divorces,” the source said.

The divorce filing may tell a very different story.

While Pitt and Jolie married in 2014, their relationship became the subject of speculation in 2004, when they co-starred in “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” At the time, Pitt was married to actress Jennifer Aniston.

In January 2005, Pitt and Aniston announced they were splitting and Aniston filed for divorce a few months later.
In April 2005, photos surfaced of Pitt, Jolie and her adopted son Maddox in Kenya.

Jolie later adopted daughter Zahara from Ethiopia and in early 2006 she announced that she and Pitt were expecting a baby. Shortly thereafter, Pitt was granted the right to legally adopt Maddox and Zahara.

Their daughter Shiloh was born in May 2006 and son Pax was adopted from Vietnam in March 2007. Jolie gave birth to twins Vivienne and Knox in July 2008.

The couple announced their engagement in 2012.

Pitt was there to support Jolie in 2013 when she underwent a preventive double mastectomy.

Jolie said at the time that she underwent the surgery following the discovery she carried a mutation of the BRCA1 gene which greatly increased her risk for cancer.

“My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman,” Jolie wrote in an article for the New York Times. “Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy.”

In 2014 they were married in a small, private ceremony in a chapel at Château Miraval in the village of Correns.
The following year, Jolie once again made headlines for her health when she had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed to guard against cancer.

The couple talked to NBC’s Tom Brokaw in 2015 about their marriage, her health struggles and working together as they promoted their film “By the Sea.”

Jolie also wrote and directed the film about a couple in a troubled marriage. Jolie said the characters’ relationship was far from hers and Pitt’s.

“I’m counting on the audience to know that if it was close to us at all we could never make this film,” Jolie said. “It’s because we are actually very, very stable and these aren’t our issues.”

The pair have also been partners in giving.

Pitt has worked for years to help rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

Jolie is a United Nations special envoy for refugee issues, a critical topic at the UN General Assembly meeting in New York this week. The timing of the divorce filing struck some as an unfortunate coincidence.

“Her divorce filing steals the limelight from the ongoing #UNGA,” communications consultant Lynda C. Corpuz tweeted.
