They say the course of true love never did run smooth, but they never mentioned how hella bumpy divorces can be.

And it looks like the Brangelina divorce is throwing out all sorts of ugly bumps, twists and turns – which in Angelina Jolie’s case isn’t doing her any favours.

The actress is in danger of losing primary custody of her six children – Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 9-year old twins Vivienne and Knox – to estranged husband Brad Pitt, a report by PEOPLE explains.

Court documents suggests that this is more than likely to happen if she doesn’t improve their relationship with their father:

A judge in the couple’s ongoing divorce case said the six children “not having a relationship with their father is harmful to them,” adding that “it is critical that each of them have a healthy and strong relationship with their father and mother.”

Furthermore, the judge said in court documents, “If the minor children remain closed down to their father and depending on the circumstances surrounding this condition, it may result in a reduction of the time they spend with [Jolie] and may result in the Court ordering primary physical custody to [Pitt].”

And believe me, the judge isn’t playing around – he actually went and outlined some specific steps Jolie should take to improving Pitt’s access and relationship to the children:

Jolie is not allowed to read their text messages with Pitt or secretly monitor his calls in anyway.

The court also outlined a detailed summer visitation schedule for the couple. Maddox was not included in the arrangement because at 16-years-old, the court determined he was old enough to decide how much time to spend with Pitt on his own.

Pitt will spend June 8 to June 17 with the kids for four hours a day while he stays in London, where his ex-wife is currently renting a home and shooting Maleficent 2. Pitt will host one or two of the minor at a time, and will spend time with each child at least twice. Jolie is not allowed to be present during Pitt’s time with the children.

Then from June 27 through July 1, Pitt gets custody for 10 hours per day under the same scheduling circumstances. A child therapist will also be with the children during this time.

From July 8 through July 14, Pitt will spend four consecutive days with the kids. A therapist will be present during that time and will meet with the kids before and after each two day period.

From July 21 through July 29, Pitt gets custody of the kids when he returns to California. Jolie will handle the kids’ travel from London to L.A., and Pitt will handle their return trip to London.

Wowsers, I bet all the cash money in the world that Jolie is absolutely fuming over all of this.

It looks like it’s not going to get any better for her, either, because once her former beau touches back down in Los Angeles, he can decide where to stay with the kids, so long as he makes arrangements for their visits with therapists and doctors.

Oh, and when the kids are with Pitt, their mother is restricted to one phone call a day at a pre-arranged time agreed to by both parties.

Yikes. I can imagine Jolie wrecking just about everything in her war room over these conditions.

As long as the kids don’t have to suffer, and their parents make an effort to maintain healthy and loving relationships with them, then I guess Jolie will just have to swallow her pride.
