As we discussed yesterday, Brad Pitt’s lawyers requested an “emergency hearing” so that all current and future custodial documents could be sealed. Sources claimed that Brad was very irritated by Angelina Jolie’s filing last Friday, which basically solidified the temporary custodial situation which has exists since October, meaning that Brad’s visitation with the kids is still monitored, and he only sees the kids when the shrink says so. Brad’s irritation was that Angelina “publicized” their custody situation, only it felt like he publicized (and has been publicizing) it too, with strategic leaks to People Magazine and TMZ. Well, long story short, Brad got his emergency hearing, only his request was denied. Nothing will be sealed… for now.

Brad Pitt‘s request for an emergency hearing to have all his and Angelina Jolie divorce documents sealed has been denied, PEOPLE has confirmed. A judge ruled on Wednesday that the filing did not meet the requirements for sealing details at this time. Both Pitt and Jolie’s attorneys were present in court for the decision.

Laura Wasser, Jolie’s attorney, says the actress does not oppose sealing documents to prevent details from becoming public, but that Pitt’s team didn’t consult with them before their hearing, which is why she opposed it at this time. While the two sides continue to hash out legal custody, per previous agreement, the couple’s six children remain with Jolie, with Pitt granted visitation accompanied by a therapist.

And because Brad and Angelina are both pro-privacy, it seems both their sides went to TMZ to talk sh-t about the other side. Brad’s side says Angelina is hellbent on airing their dirty laundry. Angelina’s side says that his bad behavior started this whole thing and he’s trying to push around his weight and short-change the system:

His side has been fuming since Jolie filed their temporary custody arrangement in court last week — a move Brad believes only served to air their dirty laundry in public and damage the children.

We’re told Angelina felt it necessary to file the docs in order to have the court enforce the terms — specifically the part about letting a therapist make the call on when Brad can start having unmonitored visits.

In docs, Angelina’s lawyer says Brad’s effort to seal the whole case isn’t so much about protecting the children — as his side has claimed — but more about keeping his own actions hidden … because it was “[Brad’s] conduct at the center of the DCFS and FBI investigations.”

Sources connected to the case tell us Brad has been trying to “push past the process.” As one source put it, he was acting like a “celebrity who is used to getting whatever he wants” … and after the DCFS investigation cleared him of criminal wrongdoing, what he wanted was to have solo time with the children.

Our Brad sources deny he’s made any effort to change the temporary custody deal. We’re told Angelina also wants the whole case to remain private — as long as Brad sticks to the custody arrangement they both signed off on months ago.

Yep, SUPER MESSY. After that, all hell broke loose with tit-for-tat leaks to TMZ. Pro-Brad sources got the ball rolling, with TMZ reporting that Brad “thinks he’s getting the short end of the stick when it comes to his visitation time with his kids, and has a plan to change that.” His plan involves extra monitored visits every week with the kids, broken up into two-kids per meeting. Brad has apparently been pleading with the therapists and the court that he wants more time with the kids and he’s been trying to circumvent the custodial deal, in which those visits would be approved by the therapists. Like, his lawyers have been emailing Angelina’s lawyers, trying to get more meetings without consulting the therapists. That’s why Angelina wanted to ensure that the current custody arrangement was enforced. After that, TMZ did another story which seems to come from Angelina’s team. Angelina’s lawyers have been imploring Brad’s lawyers to allow the kids (and Brad and Angelina) to participate in trauma counseling following what happened on the plane. Sources say “Jolie thinks the kids are so bad off because of what they witnessed on the plane, and the therapy process they’ve been going through isn’t getting the job done.” Apparently, Pax and Maddox still have no interest in seeing Brad either.
