Two years after Angelina told the judge that she wanted to have sole custody of her children, meaning that Brad wouldn’t be able to look after them, the verdict has changed.

According to some private court papers that were leaked to the press, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge John W. Ouderkirk ruled that it was “critical” for each of the kids to have a “healthy and strong relationship with their father.”

unrestricted=unlimited(adj.)不受限制的、不受約束的access(n.)使用或看見某物的權利或機會twin(n.)雙胞胎之一
The court ruling does not affect Angelina’s eldest son Maddox, 16, because he is old enough to decide for himself when he wants to see his father.
