Mel and Robyn Gibson say they have irreconcilable differences, but not when it comes to keeping their finances private.
We've learned both Mel and Robyn filed a joint request -- essentially asking the judge in their divorce case to keep info about their finances private. The judge saw it their way and signed the order on Friday.
According to the order, neither party (and that includes their lawyers) is allowed to disclose any information revealed in the discovery process. That means all of the financial documents that have been requested to establish the value of the Gibsons' estate can't be released directly or indirectly to the media.
As we first reported, the lion's share of the estate is real property -- houses and what not. We're told the total value is less than the $900,000,000 previously reported -- but it's still a fortune.

Mel Gibson's divorce is rolling along, but we're told it ain't gonna be as simple as a clean 50/50 split.
First of all, it looks like Mel's reported wealth -- $900,000,000 -- is inflated. The business people are still figuring it out, but a huge portion of his net worth is tied up in real estate. As one source put it, relative to his wealth, there's not a lot of cash involved.
That's not to say Mel and Robyn are living on a budget. They have millions in the bank ... we're told Mel is pulling in about $17 million on his latest movie project.
Now here's where it gets complicated. Some of the real estate is being held in trust for their children. As for the rest of the real estate, it's not a good time to sell, but we're told they will most likely have to liquidate the lion's share of these assets for their property settlement.

Now we know which of the many Oksanas Mel Gibson has actually been hooking up with -- because he took her out on the red carpet last night!
Gibson, whose wife Robyn filed for divorce earlier this month, showed off his new arm candy in Hollywood, holding hands with 39-year-old Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva at the premiere of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."

Some inside info in Mel Gibson's divorce ...
We're told Mel and Robyn have actually been more civilized with each other than they have in the last few years. The divorce so far is amicable, and the only thing that will get in the way is money.
As for how much money, our sources say Mel and Robyn don't know precisely -- the whole thing that they're worth $900,000,000 is a guess from the media. We're told the lawyers and accountants are working now to nail it down.
Stay tuned ...

To the victor goes the spoils ... in Mel Gibson's case it's more like Victor Victoria. Among the $900 million in assets they will divide up, there are a number of insanely expensive estates....
We have pics of five houses, for starters ...

We've learned Mel Gibson's wife Robyn has just filed legal papers to divorce Mel Gibson, her husband of 28 years, citing "irreconcilable differences." Pretty ironic -- Robyn signed the papers the day before Good Friday.
Sources tell us there is no prenuptial agreement -- they were married in 1980, before Mel Gibson amassed a fortune estimated at $900 million back in 2006. Under the laws of California, community property -- which includes earnings -- is divided 50/50.
The Gibsons have 7 children, but only one -- Tom, who turns 10 tomorrow -- is a minor. In Robyn's legal papers, filed this morning in L.A. County Superior Court, she seeks joint physical and legal custody of Tom.
Robyn is also asking for spousal support and attorneys fees.
Robyn lists the date of separation as "to be determined." This is important, because earnings generally cease to be community property when the couple separates. There could be a skirmish over this. We're told the couple grew increasingly apart over the last few years, especially since Mel's drunk driving arrest in 2006.
There have been reports that Mel has been involved with another woman, which the actor denies, but we're told the reasons for the divorce go beyond any third party.
If there is a fight, Robyn is in good hands -- she's repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser, who has handled divorces for the likes of Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears and Stevie Wonder.
UPDATE: Robyn and Mel Gibson just issued a statement: "Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so."
Sources tell TMZ the couple has been separated for more than 2 1/2 years. We'll see if Robyn agrees. Again, the separation date is important in dividing assets.
