Mel Gibson Divorce - Goodbye, But Not Farewell

With all the strife in celebrity marriages these days, our sources say the marriage between Mel Gibson and Robyn is coming to a very amicable end ... but in reality the pair will be in business long after the divorce is final.



We're told Mel and Robyn have agreed on pretty much every big issue. In fact, it's so smooth, a judge isn't even involved yet. Instead, Mel and Robyn are using lawyers, accountants and business managers to hash out a settlement.

There is one complicating factor: The large majority of the couple's assets are in the form of houses and other non-liquid property. Robyn will get roughly half in the property settlement. The problem is -- property doesn't pay the bills month to month, and it's a bad time to sell.

Nevertheless ... the suits are busy valuing the assets, and we're told everything should be settled in the next two months.

But the divorce won't be the end of their relationship. We're told Mel doesn't have the ready cash to buy Robyn out of Icon Productions, his film company. So the plan is for both of them to stay in business together after the marriage ends.

So it is possible to end a long marriage without going to court every five minutes.

Here lies another douche bag cheater. Not only did he cheat he produced a baby. Hows that for nice! But the icing on this man's cake is his bigotry. He's intolerable for millions of reasons and it's not an effort to hate him.

THATS COOL! MEL AND ROBYN ARE STILL TOGETHER AND IN GOOD TERMS, AND WILL NOW ALSO WORK TOGETHER.
ROBYN NEVER HAD A SHARE IN ICON NOR WORK THERE, BUT FROM NOW ON SHE WILL. AS CO-OWNER OF ICON.
THIS ALSO MEAN THAT SHE HAS HER SAY ON WHOM IS HIRED THERE AND WHAT PROJECTS THEY RUN.. I KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN GO GET HERSELF A MEAL TICKET ELSEWHERE. LOL

IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THEY ARE IN SUCH GOOD TERMS AND SETTLE EVERYTHING SO NICELY.
I AGREE THAT IT WILL BE VERY DUMB TO SELL NOW. WORSE TIME EVER!
IT WILL BE BEST TO WAIT ABOUT 2-3 YEARS TO DO SO AT LEAST, THAT PRICES HAVE GONE UP AGAIN FOR THAT TYPE OF ASSETS.

IN FACT I AM SURE AND CERTAIN THAT THE ICON THINGS, IS A WISH MEL GIBSON HAD SINCE A VERY LONG TIME, TO SEE HIS WIFE WORK WITH HIM THERE, MORE THAN A QUESTION OF BUYING HER OUT OR NOT.

I DONT UNDERSTAND PEOPLE COMMENTING HERE. DONT YOU KNOW THAT THE CHILD IS NOT HIS?
MEL GIBSON NEVER HAD A CHILD WITH THAT RUSSIAN HOOKER.

SHE GET BAKED BY SOMEONE ELSE. AND MEL GIBSON IS NOT LIVING WITH HER AT ALL.
GET REAL PEOPLE, WITH ALL THE BEAUTIFULL WOMEN THIS MAN CAN GET, DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE HE WILL GO WITH THE WORSE LOOKING TRASH?

MEL IS MORE CLEVER THAN THAT, AND HE RATHER BE ON HIS OWN THAN HAVING TO ENDURE HER SIGHT.

Wow. I hate to admit it, but he DOES look like Boris Karloff in this picture. Looking like Boris Karloff is cool if you ARE Boris Karloff, but not if your....Mel Gibson? Wow. And yeah, I thought DEVOUT Catholics didn't divorce, either. Hmm. I guess it only applies to OTHERS. Do as I say, not as I do. *Sigh*

While catholics can legally divorce, if they had a church sanctioned wedding, they are still in the eyes of the church, married. Hope that answers the question about catholics and divorce.

Mel could have been a real jerk regarding their divorce, and hasn't.
