Brad Pitt

A source familiar with the situation told CNN on Wednesday that Pitt has been cleared by the Los Angeles County Department of Child 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.

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.

The actor filed his divorce paperwork Friday at the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Pitt is seeking joint and physical custody of their six children in the divorce documents obtained by CNN.

Pitt cites irreconcilable differences and asked the judge to grant him more time to figure out a property agreement. Together the couple own homes in Los Angeles, New Orleans and France.

Jolie initially filed for divorce from Pitt in September after just two years of marriage. The actress is seeking physical custody of their children.

Pitt visited them on Oct. 8, and there was a monitor present; however, not all of his kids were there.

Many have wondered how finances will play into the power couple's highly-publicized divorce, but E! News can confirm money is not the issue at this time.

A source with knowledge of the situation said Thursday: "[Brad] is taking this very seriously and he's cooperated. He has always worked hard to be a good father and wants to do whatever is best for his family."

"LAPD is not handling any report of allegations of child abuse for Mr. Brad Pitt," LAPD Officer Jenny Houser told CNN.

A spokesman for LA County Children and Family Services, Armand Montiel, added that "DCFS is not allowed to confirm or deny any subject of allegations."

The French actress addressed rumours in an Instagram post.

"Many years ago, I met the man of my life. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need," she said.

Cotillard also revealed she and her husband Guillaume Canet were expecting their second child.

The 40-year-old's private life had been thrown in to the spotlight following the news that Jolie had filed for divorce on Monday, citing "irreconcilable differences".

The singer who's written her fair share of break-up songs, dedicated the second of her six nights at Madison Square to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

The couple, who have been together since 2004 and married in 2014, are getting divorced.

A few songs into her show, the Grammy winner asked if she could "address the elephant in the room," saying the news marks the "end of an era".

The two may have made millions between them since marrying in 2014, but as the two negotiate the terms of their just-announced divorce, one expert says their biggest battle could end up being over children, not wealth.

Jolie filed for divorce Monday after separating from her husband September 15, according to court documents.

On the heels of his estranged wife Angelina Jolie's divorce filing after two years of marriage and more than a decade together, the Oscar winner has made a request to the public on behalf of his six children.
