Mel Gibson’s Divorce Woes

Divorces are always a little messy. If you happen to have most of your assets locked up in property in a bad real estate market, have celebrity status, and a long marriage like actor Mel Gibson, then the divorce may just bring you down to your knees.

Mouth Unhinged

Divorce lawyers representing both Mel Gibson and his wife Robyn seem to have entered a blood fest. Initially it was thought that the couple would have an amicable out of court settlement divorce but things don’t look too good for that scenario any more. Mel Gibson has squandered off his “celebrity good will,” what with his 2006 anti-Semitic rant, and his 2010 mega rant against African Americans and women. This was quite bizarre since his famous partner in all four Lethal Weapons-Danny Glover-is black. Finally, all these things only seem to be complicating the divorce situation that both sets of divorce attorneys want to make the most of.

Another Blockbuster Needed

Gibson and his wife Robyn also have joint holdings in their production house that Gibson can’t afford to buy her out of as yet. Perhaps a Lethal Weapon 5 will pay for everything, or not. A divorce lawyer is of great essence in cases like these. The celebrity status makes this case very high profile and thus, a public spectacle. On the other hand, the division of assets and property needs to be done in the most amiable manner that both the parties find satisfying. Only good divorce attorneys can do this job and not have everyone feeling like they gave more than they received. Particularly in out of court settlements, a bad divorce lawyer could end up costing you an askew settlement and improper division of assets.

At Your Beck and Call

Divorces have become more and more common in today’s day and age and divorce lawyers seem to have more work than ever. There is simply no shortcut to getting a divorce settled and an experienced lawyer can make all the difference to your divorce proceedings. Remember to hire a competent, reputed, and experienced divorce lawyer if you ever have to deal with the trauma of a divorce and the loss of property and money shortages that accompany it. A noble divorce lawyer is someone you should have at your beck and call in a situation such as this. It is certainly more than anyone can handle.
