Good things come to those who wait?

After 28 years of marriage, Robyn Moore filed for divorce in April 2009 -- but it took more than two years for her to reach a settlement with her estranged husband, Mel Gibson.

According to TMZ, Moore's lawyer appeared before a judge Tuesday morning to announce that the former spouses have reached a full agreement regarding the terms of their divorce (including property settlements). Their lawyers are expected to turn in their final paperwork in August, making their divorce official.

Though the terms of their settlement have yet to be revealed, it's been reported that the couple did not have a pre- or postnuptial agreement. As a result, "any income earned or property purchased during the marriage is considered communal property," L.A. divorce attorney Stacy Phillips told Us Weekly in 2009.

What was at stake? Besides owning three homes in Malibu purchased for more than $16 million combined, The Beaver actor, 55, snapped up an island in Fiji and a ranch in Costa Rica. (Between 2004 and 2007, he sold properties in Montana, Connecticut and Australia for more than $46 million total.)

The Oscar winner, who once commanded up to $25 million per role, has also appeared in more than 40 movies and directed another four flicks. The star also rakes in cash from his Icon production company -- $800 million from 2004's The Passion of the Christ alone.

    It's not MEL's fortune. After 28 years of marriage it's THEIR fortune.

    ALL that drama with the Octomom looking girlfriend and the baby and he's STILL not divorced from his WIFE? Mel is SUCH a d-bag and he made a movie about Jesus! Cheating is one of the biggest no-no's Mel. Didn't you know that?

    Half? For putting up with Mel - she deserves WHOLE. How she gets EVERYTHING. And if there is even one penny left - I hope it goes to the Russian exgirlfriend he beat the crap out of.

    Robyn DEFINITELY deserves half. I was a Mel fan until his stunts from this past couple years.

    She definitely deserves half--Mel is a piece of work, can't imagine being married to him. I feel the same way in the reverse too--if a woman is the money maker then I think the husband should be entitled to half too.

    28 years, 7 kids -- that lady deserves HALF.
