LOS ANGELES – Court records show Mel Gibson's wife has filed for divorce after 28 years of marriage.

Robyn Gibson filed the petition in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences.

The petition doesn't give any details about the split. Robyn Gibson is seeking jewelry and some other property, and has suggested joint custody for their 9-year-old son.

The records show the couple were married in June 1980.

They issued a joint statement Monday, saying they have "always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so."

Well, it says in the report that all she’s seeking is jewelry and some property.

Leave this couple alone!!!

Divorce is painful enough for all concerned and need not become grist for the chattering class (especially those in Hollywierd who love to hate Gibson.)

Oh NO!!!! This has got to be one of the biggest oversights of the Obama administration to date. I can't believe they don't have a "Divorce Tax" in place yet.

I wonder if recent events have made him more reactionary and she wasn’t on board with it. Its hard to tell since his community is so secretive and extremely exclusive, but I think it would be obvious to state that this would be Earth shattering for his community, if not even undermining his authority and standing.

It would be funny if Mel's wife hires a Jewish defense attorney and even better yet if the judge that hears the divorce case in also Jewish.

Just to remind people what Mel said during his DUI arrest:

"F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.

As far as I know, those exact words were not spoken by Gibson.

However, both their statements have proven that both Clinton and Gibson are both anti-Semitic scum.

Too bad for all involved. Divide the money/property by two, shake hands and walk away. Shouldn’t take more than a day. Why people with more money than most countries fight to hold on to *all* of it is totally beyond me.

This is indeed tragic on many levels, especially for their children.

Gibson did such an outstanding job with Passion of the Christ, that many wrote to him asking him to produce films about other religious figures like St. Francis of Assisi. There is a great hunger in this nation for a return to morality in the cinema and Gibson must have recognized this in the accolades he received from the various christian denominations.

sadly, the Passion of Christ was just a money maker for him......it sure didn’t convert him.

I think it’s his boozing that’s the problem.

I know it didn't change his life......ie drunk driving, his drunken rant and adultery......sorry, it's the truth.He may be a great director, but his personal life is pretty sad. I note he was fooling around with this bimbo while with his sons and still married to their mother. Pathetic.
