Bill Murray and his wife Jennifer Butler Murray have finalized their divorce — a month after she accused him of adultery and drug use.

According to the June 13 court documents (obtained by TMZ.com), the comedian, 57, has been ordered to pay child support.

She will have custody of their four kids and keep all their properties in her name.

He must also pay her a lump sum of $7 million. (They had signed a prenup that it is still valid, according the court papers.)

The news comes a month after she accused him of adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse and sexual addictions.

According to her six-page filing, she claimed he abused her on more than one occasion during their marriage.

One time, the document claimed, he "hit his wife in the face and then told her she was 'lucky he didn't kill her.'"

His attorney said the comedian was "deeply saddened by the breakup of his marriage. He and his wife are loving parents and they are committed to the best interests of their children."
