Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have agreed to continue their interim child custody agreement, according to People.
Jolie and Pitt reportedly had a custody hearing scheduled for Tuesday that was cancelled after the stars continued the temporary agreement.
Pitt, 54, and Jolie, 43, pledged to settle their case confidentially in 2017 but are currently battling over child support for their six children.

The stars made headlines earlier this month when Jolie said she wanted her divorce from Pitt finalized before the end of the year.
The declaration came in a request for a case-management hearing filed by Jolie’s lawyers in Los Angeles Superior Court.
The document said her lawyers will work with Pitt’s lawyers to ensure the actors are single again in 2018.

The court filing contended Pitt “has paid no meaningful child support” since the couple’s separation. It said he had failed to live up to their informal financial arrangements, and she’ll seek a court order to get retroactive payments from him.

Brad Pitt said in court documents that he has given estranged wife Jolie more than US$1 million and lent her another US$8 million since their separation two years ago, countering her assertion saying he had paid “no meaningful child support.”
Pitt’s lawyers said in the two-page document filed in Los Angeles Superior Court that he “adamantly disputes the contention that he has not paid significant child support.”
The document added that he loaned Jolie $8 million to buy her current home, and has paid over $1.3 million in bills for the benefit of Jolie and their six children.

Jolie’s lawyer responded by saying that Pitt was charging Jolie interest on the loan for the new house and that the Maleficent actress has had to pay for most of the expenses for the children alone.
“What has been filed by Brad’s side today is a blatant attempt to obfuscate the truth and distract from the fact that he has not fully met his legal obligations to support the children,” Jolie’s lawyer Samantha Bley DeJean said in a statement.
Jolie filed for divorce nearly two years ago, claiming the separation was “for the health of the family.” She currently has primary custody of their six children; Maddox, 17; Pax, 14; Zahara, 13; Shiloh, 12; and 10-year old twins Vivienne and Knox.
