Angelina Jolie and her six children have been questioned over the alleged altercation involving her estranged husband Brad Pitt.

The 41-year-old, who filed for divorce from her 52-year-old husband last month, was interviewed by two FBI agents in an attempt to get more information about the alleged altercation that took place between Pitt and his 15-year-old son Maddox on a private jet.

Pitt has admitted to screaming as his eldest child during a flight from Europe to Los Angeles but insists he never raised a hand to the boy, and is said to be stunned by the allegations.

Entertainment Tonight reports the visit was not part of a formal investigation as officials are still in the "fact-finding" stage to figure out whether or not there is enough evidence to warrant an investigation.

Law enforcement sources told the website that the agents spent more than three hours at Jolie's Malibu home.

Earlier this month, it was reported that the FBI would not be opening an investigation because Maddox suffered no injuries and some witnesses on the jet say Brad's contact with the boy was "inadvertent". Officials claimed the case should never have been referred to them by the LA Police Department.

Pitt and Jolie announced their split four weeks ago after Jolie filed for divorce on September 19 with the actress pushing for sole custody of Maddox, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, ten, and twins Vivienne and Knox, eight.
