Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix have reached an agreement about their divorce.

On Tuesday TMZ reported the couple, who split a year ago, will have joint custody of their two sons 13-year-old Indiana and Atticus, aged nine.

It was added that though at first the brother of Ben Affleck wanted to deny her any spousal support, in the end he did make some type of private financial settlement.

The two wed in 2006 and separated in 2016. She filed for divorce this summer. They had a prenuptial agreement.

In November a judge signed off the papers for the divorce, according to People. The actor was ordered to pay his ex spousal and child support.

The documents show that Summer cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split. She asked for joint legal and physical custody of their children as did he.

The pair tied the knot back in 2006, having met in 1995 through Summer's brother Joaquin Phoenix, who was working with Casey on To Die For.

They got engaged in 2003.

When the pair split last year, they issued a joint statement to insist they had 'amicably' gone their separate ways.

Their spokesperson confirmed: 'Casey and Summer have amicably separated. They remain very close friends.'

And a source added at the time: 'She was having a lot of trust issues. They went to therapy but they just couldn't recover.'

This year he has been seen with Floriana Lima, even taking her to the Academy Awards where he won an Oscar for Best Actor.

Meanwhile, his brother Ben is still in the process of divorcing Jennifer Garner.

They both want joint legal and physical custody of their three kids Violet, Seraphina and Samuel. As for spousal support, they left it open, so the judge could award it before the divorce becomes final, according to TMZ.

They do not list a date of separation, but in June 2015 they announced their separation.
