Transformers Star Tyrese Gibson Wraps Up Divorce

Model-turned-rapper-turned-actor Tyrese Gibson was married to Norma Mitchell for 10 months before he filed for divorce late last year. Their divorce took almost as long to settle as the entire marriage. Eight months after the filing, the former couple has settled their divorce case including custody of their 2-year-old daughter, Shayla.

A judge approved the terms of their settlement last week in Los Angeles. RadarOnline posted a copy of the court’s judgment.  Gibson and Mitchell will share legal custody of Shayla but Mitchell appears to have primary residential custody of the child. Gibson has visitation with Shayla every Friday, Saturday and Sunday – but none of those visits are overnight stays. Gibson will pay $6,230 a month in child support.

Although Gibson had been temporarily ordered to pay rent on behalf of Mitchell, those payments are no longer required under the final judgment and both parties waived any right to request spousal support. Gibson is required to pay the remaining lease payments on Mitchell’s Land Rover and purchase the vehicle for Mitchell when the lease runs out.

They divided their marital property with Mitchell receiving a $42,500 cash payment to equalize the distribution. Gibson retained his premarital home in Temecula, California.

Gibson, who appeared in this summer’s Transformers sequel, was represented in the settlement by family law attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan, who previously represented Kevin Federline in his divorce and custody battles against Britney Spears.
