Actor and Ex Reach Child Custody Agreement

After fighting for months over child custody, an angry actor and his ex-girlfriend have finally come to an agreement.

The child custody settlement has been hampered by additional allegations made by both sides, although only one was addressed in court this week. In order to finalize the settlement, the actor was forced to plead no contest to the charge of domestic violence filed against him last year. The Oscar winner's violent streak was revealed last year when his ex-girlfriend released audio tapes of her harassing him, while she was also seen around town with several bruises on her body.

While the two began their relationship in a storm of passion, ultimately breaking up his marriage when she realized she was pregnant, it quickly turned sour. When she spoke about his verbal and physical abuse towards her, the actor retaliated by saying the former model was attempting to blackmail him for $20 million.
