Jolie also claims that her ex-husband verbally abused and poured "beer and red wine" on his children during the flight from France to Los Angeles, with the documents referring to it as "the day Jolie's marriage came to an end."
The Fight Club star began shouting, accusing Jolie of being "too deferential to the children", her lawyers claim.
Shortly into the fight, Jolie's lawyers claims her ex-husband "grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall."
"Pitt then punched the ceiling of the plane numerous times, prompting Jolie to leave the bathroom," the filing states.

The actor is then said to have "lunged at his own child" when they tried to verbally intervene, at which point Jolie "grabbed him from behind to stop him", the court papers claim.
"To get Jolie off his back, Pitt threw himself backwards into the airplane's seats injuring Jolie's back and elbow," the filing continues.
"The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other," it adds, "Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face."
Ms Jolie's lawyers say she and the children, who were aged 8 to 15 at the time, "sat still and silent under blankets" for the rest of the journey.

Pitt has sued Jolie, arguing that he and his former wife had agreed not to sell their stakes in the estate without the permission of the other. He claims she decided to sell her stake in the estate to a Russian oligarch in an attempt to "undermine" his investment and cause "gratuitous harm" to him, after he had "poured money and sweat equity into the wine business".
But his ex-wife disputes this - blaming Pitt for ending negotiations over purchasing her shares of the property.
Jolie's decision to sell her stake in the property was partly because of her "growing increasingly uncomfortable with continuing to participate in an alcohol-related business, given the impact of Pitt's acknowledged problem of alcohol abuse on their family," her lawyers claim.
In 2019, Pitt told the New York Times he had joined Alcoholics Anonymous after splitting from Jolie.
