Brad Pitt is asking California’s top court to review a recent ruling that disqualified the private judge handling his child custody war with Angelina Jolie and undid his tentative 50-50 custody win.

In a filing Tuesday (Aug 31), Pitt and his lawyers said the 2nd District Court of Appeal issued a “dangerous” ruling last month when it disqualified Judge John Ouderkirk and effectively invalidated his work on the couple’s case over an “administrative error".
