Brad Pitt challenges ruling in custody case with ex-wife Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt filed a petition with the California Supreme Court for a review of the actor's ongoing custody case with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie.

The Hollywood star's petition comes after Judge John Ouderkirk in an opinion, submitted by three appellate judges, was disqualified from the custody case.

The petition argues that disqualifying Ouderkirk "effectively upended the constitutionally authorized temporary judging system in California.

'The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' actor Pitt challenged ruling that gave Angelina Jolie a big win in custody battle.

Brad Pitt is seeking a review of a California appellate court's ruling last month to disqualify the private judge he and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie picked more than four years ago to oversee their divorce and contentious custody dispute.
