An investigation into whether Brad Pitt was abusive toward
his son on a private flight in September says the case has
been closed with no finding of abuse by the actor, a source
familiar with the inquiry said Wednesday.

The source, who was not authorised to speak publicly, told
The Associated Press that the investigation was closed
within the past few days.
Multiples sources have said the Los Angeles County
Department of Children and Family Services had been looking
into allegations Pitt was abusive toward his 15-year-old son
on the flight in mid-September.
Pitt’s wife, Angelina Jolie Pitt, filed for divorce days after the
incident, and her attorney said it was “for the health of the
family.”
A department spokesman said the agency could not confirm
it investigated Pitt.
Custody of the actors’ six children has been the primary
issue in their divorce. Jolie Pitt is seeking sole custody of
the children, while Pitt is seeking joint custody.
Pitt has had visitation with his children under terms agreed
upon by the former couple.
Jolie Pitt’s representatives said Monday that an agreement
on custody had been reached, although a final agreement will
be part of the couple’s divorce judgment when it is entered.
California law favours joint custody, although details about
custody arrangements are rarely made public in celebrity
divorce cases.
A representative for Jolie said the actress is relieved that the
inquiry is over and that the custody arrangements in place
will allow the children to heal.A representative for Pitt declined comment.
Pitt and Jolie were married for two years and together for 12
years after becoming close while filming 2005’s “Mr. & Mrs.
Smith.”
