'The children not having a relationship with their father is harmful to them,' the court said in docs, according to People, giving the family's oldest child, 16-year-old Maddox, a choice based on his age. 

The Fight Club star was seen earlier this week in the U.K., where Jolie has taken the six kids to work on the Maleficent sequel. 

A source told the magazine that the Oklahoma-born actor 'is a great dad and always loved being with his kids,' and has been restrained amid the custody crisis with Jolie.

'He doesn’t talk badly about Angie,' a source told the magazine, 'but he feels it’s her fault that the kids don’t want to spend more time with him.'

Jolie was in Iraq on Sunday with the United Nations Refugee Agency, where she took a tour of a refugee camp impacted by the seven-year conflict in Syria, calling it 'the worst devastation' she's seen in her 17 years working with the United Nations.
