Mel Gibson offered the mother of his illegitimate child almost $20 million to settle their bitter custody battle before it imploded, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

But Oksana Grigorieva is rejecting the massive cash settlement because she would have had to share custody of their eight-month-old daughter Lucia.

"Mel wanted Oksana to sign an agreement that would have meant Lucia spends 80 per cent of her time with her mother and the remaining 20 per cent with her father," said a source, familiar with the case.

"Over time, it could have increased to 50-50.

"Mel was offering a deal that would have landed Oksana almost $20 million over her lifetime, but despite the inducement, she couldn't bring herself to sign the final agreement.

"Oksana thought that Lucia spending even 20 per cent of her time with Mel was too much -- and after the incident on January 6, she became convinced Mel was not fit to be alone with her."

...
We're told Oksana initially agreed to the $20 million deal.

However, the Russian musician has since claimed she signed the agreement "under duress," according to a source with knowledge of the case.

Last month, as she prepared to launch her fight against Gibson, Oksana replaced the lawyer who masterminded the pact with the actor's lawyers and installed her current legal eagle, Marci Levine.

Yet despite Oksana's claim that she was forced to sign the agreement against her will, the judge overseeing their custody fight upheld the original 80-20 parenting plan, said the source.

"Oksana is powerless to stop Mel from having visitation rights to Lucia," added the insider.

Sources close to Grigorieva cite the co-habitation agreement and her reluctance to agree to the $20 million loot as proof she is not interested in Gibson's fortune or tried to extort him.

Protested one source, "Oksana gave up her potential financial future in order to secure her baby daughter's safety."
