Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce settlement has been laid bare, with court documents revealing the former couple’s extraordinary monthly incomes as they officially bring their 19-year marriage to an end.
Legal papers lodged in Nashville, Tennessee show the Oscar-winning actress and the country music star, both 58, each earn a reported monthly income in excess of US $100,000 (AU $148,000).
The former power couple finalised their divorce three months after Kidman filed for one on September 30, bringing an end to one of Hollywood’s most enduring marriages.Â
According to the court filing, both parties have agreed to waive all claims to alimony and spousal support, with each responsible for their own legal expenses.
In a surprise move, the pair also agreed to pay zero child support for their two daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15.
Under the terms of the agreement, Kidman will have primary custody of the girls for 306 days of the year, while Urban will spend 59 days with them – described as ‘every other weekend’.Â

The pair, who married in 2006 and announced their separation in September, will divide their shared investments, bank accounts, furniture, appliances, vehicles and personal belongings privately, with each walking away with what they personally own.
It is still unclear whether the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place.
A hearing was scheduled in Nashville earlier this week, but Kidman was unable to attend as she was flying back from spending the New Year in Australia.
The Hollywood star was spotted flying out of Sydney just days ago after spending the festive season back on home soil – her first visit to Australia since the break-up.
Kidman looked radiant as she arrived at Sydney Airport on Sunday ahead of her return to Nashville, where she lives in a sprawling mansion she purchased with Urban in 2008.
She was accompanied by daughters Sunday and Faith on the trip, which marked their first family holiday back to Australia without Urban.
The documents suggest that Kidman and Urban hashed out all the details with their attorneys amicably, avoiding any formal discovery or interrogation.Â
The decree explicitly states: ‘Each party indicates that he or she does not want to proceed with formal discovery, including completing interrogatories and requests for production of documents, or discovery depositions, that are designed to discover assets and debts.’

The settlement follows reports that reality had started to sink in for Urban following his divorce.Â
The country star was allegedly ‘wondering if he’s made a huge mistake’ following their split.Â
After recently performing private shows for members of Donald Trump’s inner circle, the star was reportedly feeling more isolated than ever.
‘He’s got to pay the bills – and divorce lawyers don’t come cheap,’ a source told Woman’s Day magazine of the couple’s settlement.
He has forked out for their daughters’ private school tuition and, according to the publication, needs to make a living in any way he can.
‘It’s a lonely existence for Keith right now – he’s exhausted, isolated and looking at a future he never imagined,’ the source added.
‘He’s also lost his best friend, Nicole, who was also his greatest supporter in life. He’s wondering if he’s made a huge mistake.’
