Mel Gibson Single by Sundown

Mel and Robyn Gibson
Mel Gibson will officially be back on the market by the end of the day ... because a judge is about to sign his divorce decree.

The couple and their lawyers have been negotiating a financial settlement for more than a year, and we're told the deal has finally been struck.

Now, the paperwork has been submitted, the judge will sign off and Mel will be a single guy by the end of the day.

There was no prenup -- remember, they were married for 28 years before officially separating.  Although there are reports the Gibsons' net worth approached $900 million, but we're told it's less.

The couple separated back in 2006 -- shortly after his infamous Malibu DUI arrest -- and Robyn filed for divorce in 2009 -- shortly after learning Mel's then GF Oksana Grigorieva was pregnant.

The divorce has been surprisingly civilized, with Robyn even writing a letter of support for Mel last year ... in his legal war with Oksana Grigorieva.  Robyn wrote in all the years she was with Mel, he never struck anyone in their family.

Went to the LASC website. TMZ filed an Order and Request yesterday. What are they expecting to get? The Final Decree, the Property Settlement? Should be interesting.

Good Luck to both Mel and Robyn and their family..now if Oksana would just disappear for good and give Lucia to Mel all would be right.

If he was in possesion of even a single brain cell he'd be begging this woman to take him back. If she's in possesion of even a single brain cell she won't. I love me some Mel but I'd hate to be married to him..

Congratulations to Robyn Moore Gibson!!! By the "CLOSE OF BUSINESS" today, you will be "FREE", "SINGLE" and "INDEPENDENTLY WEALTHY"!!! You played "CAPTAIN SAVE A HO" for almost 30 years and now the "DEBT IS SETTLED"!!! You were "classy" and "gracious" when you could have very well left your soon to be "EX" to his OWN CERTAIN DEMISE!!! Lord knows you're a MUCH BETTER woman than "ME" because your "EX" choose to "FREAK" with Ole Greedy and I "WOULDN'T" have been nearly as "MERCIFUL"!!! Mel Gibson gave that "FOOL" opportunities that NO ONE ELSE was willing to and SHE THREW HIM "UNDER THE BUS" BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T ALLOW HER TO "USE" HIM ANYMORE, PURE AND SIMPLE!!! NOW, LOOK AT "HER" -- YOU JUST "CAN'T" FIX "STUPID"!!! Lady, you're a "REAL" WINNER and the "WORLD" KNOWS IT!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! MAY "GOD" BLESS YOU AND YOURS!!! PEACE!!!

Of course he says it's less than $900 million, doesn't want Robyn or the IRS to know the truth... and Mel supposedly pays almost zero taxes by putting his earnings in the tax-free accounts of his "church"... his azz should be investigated for tax evasion.
