Tyrese Gibson - Gibson's Divorce And Custody Battle Finalised

Singer/actor TYRESE GIBSON's lengthy divorce, property settlement and custody battle have been finalised.

The former model filed for divorce from his wife Norma in January (09), citing irreconcilable differences following 10 months of marriage.

Norma challenged Gibson's petition and accused him of being a bad father to their two year old daughter Shayla.

She also requested a judge grant her some financial compensation, even though the union was so brief, because "(Gibson) earned roughly $800,000 (£567,375) during the 10 months of marriage".

Gibson was ordered to give a $65,000 (£46,000) divorce payout - even though Norma signed a pre-nuptial agreement to walk away without a settlement if they ever split.

According to court papers obtained by RadarOnline.com, a judge approved all terms of the divorce on Thursday (20Aug09).

The former couple will share custody of Shayla, with the Fast & The Furious star paying $6,230 (£3,894) a month in child support.

Gibson will also get to keep the Californian home he bought before he wed Norma, while their other assets and cars have been divided.
