She's asking for physical custody of the couple's 6 children. She is asking the judge to give Pitt visitation. She does not want Brad to have joint physical custody ... only joint legal custody.

Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ Angelina's decision to file has to do with the way Brad was parenting the children ... she was extremely upset with his methods. 

Our sources say, Angelina became "fed up" with Brad's consumption of weed and possibly alcohol, and mixed with what she believes is "an anger problem" ... felt it became dangerous for the children.
We're told there was no alleged "third person" ... her decision to file was solely over Brad's interaction with their children.

She is not asking for spousal support.Jolie lists the date of separation as Sept. 15, 2016.
