           Angelina Jolie was just like every other mom on Monday afternoon as she cheered on her daughter Vivienne during her karate graduation.The iconic actress was spotted near her home in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles flashing a megawatt smile with her 10-year-old daughter.Camera's spotted the 43-year-old enjoying a day with Vivienne as her ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt, 54, gets closer to the finish line.According to a new report from The Blast, Dr. Stan Katz, who is the couple's court appointed child custody evaluator, recently submitted documents indicating that the official evaluations are commencing.A judge will use the results from Dr. Katz's evaluation to finalize a custody agreement between the estranged couple.Custody woes didn't seem to be impacting Angelina's day on Monday, however, as she looked elated with Vivienne.The star reportedly chatted with fellow parents and mingled at the event. At one point, the Lara Croft star stepped away with her coffee in hand to make a few phone calls.Brad Pitt did not appear to be in attendance at the event. Perpetually chic, the A-lister wore all an all-black ensemble. The five foot seven beauty donned a silk pair of wide leg black trousers, a plain black shirt and a flowing black shawl with a pair of heeled pumps.The Salt star kept her brunette hair down and sported a large pair of black sunglasses.She smiled broadly as she walked out of the ceremony with her daughter Vivienne who wore flip flips and was still in the white pants that are part of a traditional karate uniform.On top Vivienne, had on a baggy grey T-shirt and had her sandy blonde hair, that looks to be the same shade as her father's, cut into a short bob.Angelina and Vivienne share a unique mother-daughter bond because the pair worked on the Disney film Maleficent together.In 2014, Jolie was playing the title villain in the film and, according to the star, she was so scary in costume that only Vivienne would go near her.
           In the film, Vivienne ended up playing young Aurora.'We think it's fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal for Brad and I at all,' Jolie told EW at the time.She added: 'But the other 3- and 4-year-old [performers] wouldn't come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv.' Vivienne, along with her twin brother Knox, are the youngest of the Jolie-Pitt brood.All together, the couple share six children. In addition to Vivienne and Knox, they have Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13 and Shiloh, 12.Brad and Angelina were Hollywood's former mega-couple for years before splitting up in 2016.The celebrities had been together for over a decade after meeting on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and falling for each other while Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston.Things between the couple quickly soured after their split, particularly over the custody of their children.Last month, the couple seemed ready to put aside their differences and set up a clandestine meeting at home to discuss the kids.Eldest son Maddox, according to a judge, is old enough to choose which parent to live with. He turns 18 next summer. According to a source that spoke with ET, 'Brad and Angelina actually set up a secret meeting at her house. It’s the first time they have truly gotten together to make things work since their group therapy with the children.'
