Mel Gibson, who has faced claims of domestic violence lodged by ex-lover Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva, has come to an agreement over custody and child support of the 22-month-old child, Lucia, the two share. Although specific details of the custody agreement haven't been released, it's assumed Grigorieva will continue to have primary custody of their daughter.
And less than two weeks after they agreed to the child's custody, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Lichtman announced Gibson will pay periodic payments to Grigorieva totaling $750,000 and establish a trust for their child.
Furthermore, Gibson will maintain a multi-million dollar home for the pianist and his daughter until she turns 18, when it will be sold for Lucia's benefit. It's also believed Gibson agreed to pay Grigorieva's legal fees, which are estimated at between $3 million and $4 million after their battle that began shortly after Lucia's birth. Under terms of the agreement, neither the actor nor Grigorieva, can publicly discuss or write about their relationship.
