Actor Brad Pitt has been cleared of wrongdoing by officials after a child abuse investigation.

A source familiar with the situation told CNN on Wednesday that Pitt has been cleared by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) in its investigation of an alleged incident of abuse involving Pitt and one of his children.

The accusation stemmed from an incident on a private plane in September — occurring one day before Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt after two years of marriage.

At the time, a source with knowledge of the situation told CNN that Pitt was “taking this very seriously” and had cooperated with authorities.

When reached via e-mail by CNN, a DCFS spokesperson declined to comment on the case citing confidentiality laws.

Jolie is seeking sole physical custody of the couple’s six children — Maddox, 15; Pax, 12; Zahara, 11; Shiloh, 10; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8 — meaning the children would live with her and Pitt would be allowed visits.

Last week, Pitt filed a request for joint custody.

Both Jolie and Pitt are currently following an agreement in which the children stay in their mother’s custody and have “therapeutic visits” with their father, according to Jolie’s representatives.

“Angelina said from the beginning that she felt she had to take action for the health of the family and is relieved that after their 8-week involvement, the DCFS is now satisfied the safeguards are put in place that will allow the children to heal,” a representative for Jolie said in a statement.

The conclusion of the investigation comes one day after Pitt made his first public appearance since he and Jolie announced their split.
