Brad Pitt cleared in child abuse investigation

Actor, Brad Pitt was cleared of child abuse allegations by the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services, (DCFS) on Wednesday, which now gives him a big advantage in his custody battle with his soon to be ex wife, Angelina Jolie.

Authorities say they would close the investigation involving an incident in Sept. between Brad and Maddox on a private jet. Adding that after thorough investigations and interviews by social workers, they have concluded Brad did not commit any form of child abuse during the argument that ended with physical contact.

No further action will be taken.

Angelina is asking for sole physical custody of their 6 children as part of their divorce but Brad wants joint custody.
