Maddox and Pitt, 55, had a falling out in 2016 after an alleged altercation aboard a private plane. Angelina Jolie filed for divorce a few days later.
Pitt was under investigation by US authorities after being accused of physically and verbally abusing his children during an angry outburst, TMZ reported in September 2016.
After closing an extensive investigation, the LA County Department of Children And Family Services concluded the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor had not committed child abuse, according to TMZ.
Jolie dropped Maddox off at university in August.
