Married for 31 years, no prenup, yea, that’s how it goes. She wasn’t someone who married someone famous just with the intent of it being a quick marriage with a big payoff.

Hope they are able to both move past the pain and bitterness and live happy lives.

From all I have read, Robyn has kept Mel from completely going over the edge, even after their divorce.

An instructor in a real estate Law class once laid out an instructive scenario on how much a man lost as he and his wife drove across state lines on a “move” from East coast ... to California.

[cowboyway]

Anybody got Robyn’s phone number?

[Jukeman]

Does anyone really give a rat’s a.. about this beside those involved. Why is it even news worthy?

[Timaeus]

Old joke: Why are divorces so expensive?

Because they're worth it.

Who gets the dog?

That should be enough to keep her off food stamps.

He’s gonna wake up one morning, look down at his prone body on the sheets of his bed, and wish to God he had worked harder to maintain his marriage of 30+ years.

Some of you say “nay” ... but when he is left all alone, his body ailing, his mind failing, he’ll come to his senses and realize that a woman who stood with him for over thirty years was a ‘keeper’ and he is a failure for not realizing this sooner.

See my tagline ... marriage is a covenant, not a civil agreement. Covenant, not just an agreement to ‘love’ until love ends or one gets tired of the other or things aren’t working the way the ‘controller’ wants or some new face flatters a faltering ego ... I pray for the souls of the Gibsons and their children.

The difference between a Saint and everyone else, is that a Saint lives and acts in a saintly manner. Mel Gibson failed himself here ... as the male, the man, the husband, he knows his responsibility to the marriage covenant. God help him to repent, do penance, and reconcile with God and his family.

Did he keep the Fiji island?

For a family man, Mel always struck me as a bit too much at ease all dressed in studded black leather in many of his films.

[mountainfolk]

I think Robyn Gibson is saving Mel from himself because she will have the wealth to support the whole family and Mel himself when he runs through his share. I doubt that Mel begrudges her anything and he certainly is aware that she made it possible for him to do his job. Robyn was in a partnership that worked well for Mel who wanted a family and a career which required his absence from daily contact with them. He was fortunate that he had a wife capable of holding down the fort. I wish them both well for the future.

[SgtHooper]

The laws are so screwed up. She doesn’t deserve 1/100th of his worth.

[ChocChipCookie]

I’ll bet she felt little joy, though. The money had always been hers, just as my husband’s income is mine to use as household income. I’d bet she would much rather return to the years when they were a happy and whole family.

[fortheDeclaration]

She is entitled to half of what THEY earned in those years.

Modern society wants to make a marriage a partnership, it isn't, it is becoming one with someone.

He may have lost $400 million but at least he can grow a cool beard.
