Actor Jake Gyllenhaal's dad, Stephan Gyllenhaal, has made a divorce settlement with his former partner Kathleen, working out a deal over the custody of their 9-year-old son Luke. According to the court papers obtained by RadarOnline.com, the two have agreed to the divorce proceeding as a default matter without any notice. 

What do the court documents say? 

Stephen and Kathleen have reached a consensus over custody and support, saying they have "entered into a written agreement regarding their property and their marriage or domestic partnership rights, including support."

"This is an amicable divorce. Stephen and I have consciously uncoupled and are now co-parenting our beloved son while being the best of friends. We consider ourselves a family still, with togetherness and love," mentioned their joint statement. 

The news of their separation came out last year when Stephen, a noted film director, filed for divorce from Kathleen, whom he has been married to for the last 11 years. The date of separation was cited as March 26, 2022, and the director mentioned irreconcilable differences between the two. The petition was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, asking for joint custody of their 9-year-old son.
