Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher's divorce has been finalised, two years after their split

               Agreement: The former couple managed to come to a financial agreement and their divorce was finalised this week   Officially over: Two years after they separated, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have agreed a financial settlement and officially dissolved their six year marriage
Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher's split up in November 2011 but the divorce has just been finalized. 
According to TMZ, Ashton's lawyer Laura Wasser filed the documents in a Los Angles courthouse on Tuesday after the couple finally agreed on a financial settlement, which had been holding up proceedings. 

The website reports Kutcher, 34, gave Moore, 51, more money than he had originally planned in order to dissolve their marriage. While the former Hollywood power couple seemed to be on friendly terms when they were spotted chatting at LAX Airport last month, there are thought to have been battling over money for some time.



A source recently told the New York Post's Page Six: 'There had been lengthy negotiations between lawyers for both sides about the financial settlement — in particular, how much he owed her from their marriage.
'They have finally come to an agreement that was acceptable to all sides.' Demi is believed to be worth $150 million in her own right, but reportedly wanted spousal support from her ex-husband - a contentious issue, given her vast wealth. 
This is the end: Ashton Kutcher's lawyer filed his divorce documents and his marriage to Demi Moore officially ended on Tuesday
Meanwhile, Ashton became the highest-paid actor on television when he replaced Charlie Sheen as the leading role in Two And A Half Men in May 2011 for a staggering $750-000 per episode. 
The star has also made lucrative investments in various technology companies, and earlier this week signed on to the project for Lenovo's new Android tablet as a spokesman and product engineer. Ashton and Demi didn't sign a prenuptial agreement when they tied the knot in September 2005, meaning the actress could, in theory, be entitled to a proportion of her former beau's earnings while they were together. 

The Two And A Half Men star filed for divorce in December 2012, a year after the couple first parted ways. 
In her papers, filed in March 2013, Demi cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason behind the split, and stated the official date of separation as November 17, 2011 - two months after Ashton's alleged one-night stand with party girl Sara Leal. While Demi has had a few brief relationships following the split, Ashton has gotten serious with his former The '70s Show co-star Mila Kunis. 

Now the divorce is final, Ashton reportedly can't wait to get a ring on Mila's finger and is said to be planning on taking her to Hawaii as soon as he can. A source recently told The Sun, 'Demi and Ashton's divorce has cast a cloud over his and Mila's relationship because it's dragged on for so long.
'Thankfully Demi's turned a corner. She's no longer bitter and she wants the divorce over and done with as soon as possible so she can get on with her life too. 
'Ashton's free to officially propose to Mila. Both of them want to marry and have children.'
