NEW YORK, June 29, 2011 (NYDN) – According to California Court records, Mel and Robyn Gibson have finally settled the divorce that ended their 26 year long marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The couple, who split up in 2006, originally filed for divorce in 2009, but certain factors dragged the case on for two years.
These factors include rights to Mel’s sizable fortune, which some estimates put at upwards of $850 million–easily making him one of the richest people in Los Angeles. The fortune, amassed during their two and a half decade-long marriage is subject to be split evenly under California law.
The couple did not make their split public until 2009, when Mel was seen with then-gifrlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. This came shortly after Mel’s infamous drunken driving arrest and his anti-Semitic remarks which some cite as the reason for his relative lack of success with film ventures since then.
The Gibsons, who had seven children together, now report that they have come to an agreement on the terms of divorce and expect that all proceeding will be finalized by the end of August.
