(CNN) Who gets custody of the Pitt-Jolie children?

That has been the question since Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in September -- and it remains in dispute.

Jolie's camp argues there is already an agreement in place that allows her to retain custody of Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8.
