Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva settle custody

accreditation
Mel Gibson and ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva have finaly settled the ugly custody battle that almost ruined Gibson's career.

In a Los Angeles Superior Court hearing, the "Brave heart" director and musician ex-girlfriend finally agreed to the custody agreements after a year long war of words.

The two have been banned from writing books about their relationship, which unraveled in early 2010 amid accusations of violence and extortion.

Gibson told Judge Peter Litchman:"I would like to thank your honor for bringing this matter to a reasonable conclusion."

Grigorieva also thanked Lichtman for "the tremendous help to resolve this situation."

The bitterness between the couple became public a year ago after taped phone calls were leaked online where Gibson was heard ranting, cursing and insulting the mother of his child.
