Oksana Grigorieva's lawyers want to question Mel Gibson's ex-wife Robyn about her claims the Braveheart star was not violent during their marriage, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
Team Oksana is poised to sensationally subpoena Robyn Moore Gibson to appear before a deposition; Robyn, of course, is the same woman who the actor left for the Russian musician after 28 years of marriage.
As RadarOnline.com was first to report, Oksana has told law enforcement that Mel once admitted hurling a television at his former wife.
The actor's ex-girlfriend also said she personally witnessed him hitting his youngest son, Tommy.
The legal move adds yet another twist in the bitter battle between the Mel and Oksana and could result in Robyn being forced into the witness stand to be questioned.
Oksana's legal advisors want to probe Robyn about the sworn affidavit she submitted to the court stating Mel was not ever abusive to her or his children.
"Mel never engaged in any physical abuse of any kind toward me before, during, or after our marriage," Robyn reportedly told the judge overseeing the case.
Robyn's support of Mel raised eyebrows within Oksana's camp who want to question her motivation for doing so, said a source familiar with the case.
She filed for divorce from the Oscar-winning Braveheart star last year, citing irreconcilable differences.
The decision triggered one of Hollywood's most expensive divorces, because the pair reportedly had no pre-nup and she was able to secure half of the star's $850 million fortune.
Robyn, 54, is the mother of Mel's seven children - six of whom are adults.
Specifically Oksana's lawyers want to investigate what supposedly happened during one allegedly brutal confrontation throughout their marriage.
"Mel was telling several times how he threw a TV into her (Robyn) once when they were arguing," a source has claimed.
"Thank god he missed and the TV fell out a second story window."
Oksana also alleges that Mel hit Tommy in the head while at a hockey game at Los Angele's Staples Center two-and-a-half-years ago.
"Oksana told authorities about Mel's 'angry outbursts' toward his own family and friends," said a source familiar with the Mel Gibson investigation.

Oksana's Lawyers Set To Subpoena Mel Gibson's Ex-Wife

Melissa Etheridge Was Expecting a Call From the Kids, Got Served Instead
A process server didn't come to Melissa Etheridge's window, but his arrival at the door of her hotel room wasn't particularly welcome, either.
"In a ploy to have me served, and mistakenly believing that by serving me I would have to dismiss my Petition, [Tammy Lynn Michaels] used our children as pawns," Etheridge states in a declaration released Thursday in which she describes how she was presented with her ex's petition for sole custody of their 3-year-old twins.
The Grammy and Oscar winner says Michaels told her the kids were going to meet Etheridge at her hotel. "Finally, I received a text message...stating, 'My plans changed, sorry,'" the singer recounts.
Etheridge offered up this custody-battle fodder as part of a filing objecting to Michaels' request for more spousal support, plus $4,300 in monthly child-support payments so that the former Popular actress—who says she has no income at this time—can afford childcare while she's out working.
Among the monthly expenses Michaels lists in her latest court filing are $6,000 for rent, $1,500 for groceries, $800 for eating out and $50 for laundry and cleaning. Plus, she's used to spending $5,000 a month on clothes.
Etheridge makes between $600,000 and $750,000 a month, Michaels claims—more than enough to fork over more dough.
But Etheridge, who stated in her petition to dissolve their domestic partnership that she wants to share custody of daughter Johnnie Rose and son Miller, isn't biting.
Her lawyer told a judge Monday that his client has been giving Michaels $2,000 a month and paying all of her household expenses.

Tyco’s Kozlowski is served with divorce papers
Tyco’s Kozlowski is served with divorce papers : ServeNow.com: "Tyco International Ltd.’s imprisoned former chief executive officer, L. Dennis Kozlowski, has been served with divorce papers, giving him 45 days to disclose his financial condition to his estranged wife, Karen.
Former Cumberland resident Kozlowski, 60, was served Thursday at the Mid-State Correctional Facility in Marcy, N.Y., his lawyer Dirk Lorenzen said. The former CEO previously refused his wife’s demand for disclosure. His lawyers told a Palm Beach County, Fla., court he was never served with divorce papers, so disclosure wasn’t mandatory within 45 days of her July 31 filing.
Kozlowski’s financial information may be of interest to Tyco shareholders who sued him and the company. They are seeking to recover money lost when Tyco shares plunged after accounting problems became public in 2002.
“Clearly, he’s taking a view he is willing to play games,” New York attorney John Moscow, a former prosecutor, said. “It could be spite, or it could be he doesn’t want [Karen] or anybody else to know his assets.” "
