Mel Gibson has filed his response to his wife Robyn Gibson's divorce petition, media reports said Tuesday.
Robyn Gibson, 53, Gibson's wife of 28 years, filed the petition last Thursday. The petition doesn't give any details about the split.
Robyn is seeking jewelry and some other property, and has suggested joint custody for their 9-year-old son.
Mel, unlike his wife, gives a specific date of separation -- the papers say the date is Aug. 26, 2006.
Actor Mel Gibson arrives as a guest at the Los Angeles premiere of the film "American Gangster" in Hollywood, California Oct. 29, 2007. Robyn and Mel grew apart after his infamous arrest on July 28, 2006, according to media reports.
Mel also lists "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce.
They issued a joint statement Monday, saying they have "always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so."
Mel is one of Hollywood's biggest names, with a pair of Oscar wins for best picture and director for "Braveheart."
