Melanie Griffith, Antonio Banderas Finalize Divorce And Divide Up Combined Film Earnings

Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas are officially divorced. A judge finalized their divorce last Friday, according to People. They first announced that they would be divorcing in June 2014.

"We have thoughtfully and consensually decided to finalize our almost 20 years of marriage in a loving and friendly manner honoring and respecting each other, our family and friends and the beautiful time we have spent together," they said in a joint statement at the time, as HNGN previously reported.

The divorce documents state that Banderas, 55, made a lot of money from "The Mask of Zorro," "Desperado" and "Spy Kids," so he gets to keep that for himself, while Griffith, 58, gets to keep everything she made from her earlier work, according to TMZ. As for everything else either of them did between 2004 and 2014, which includes "Shrek 2," "Puss in Boots," "Machete Kills" and "Expendables 3," they will be splitting those earnings.

Apparently, they signed some sort of postnup in 2004 that changed the financial deal of their marriage. Since they got married in 1996, it seems as though everything from then until 2004 will be kept separate. Benderas will be paying Griffith $65,000 a month in spousal support, though, and she will be getting their house in Aspen, Colo. They have sold their L.A. mansion and split the profits.

In January, Banderas revealed that their bond remains strong for the sake of their family. They have a 19-year-old daughter, Stella. "We're going to keep seeing each other," he told the Spanish-language publication Hola! "We will continue. The family isn't dead, not at all."
