A month after after his wife sued him for divorce in a shocking filing alleging abuse and infidelity, Bill Murray and Jennifer Butler Murray have worked out an agreement to end their marriage.

According to court documents dated June 13 and obtained by TMZ.com, Butler Murray, 42, has been granted primary custody of their four children and will keep the couple’s homes in Hemet, Calif. and Sullivan’s Island, S.C. Bill Murray, 57, must pay child support and will keep other property in California, New York and Massachusetts.

Bill Murray must also pay Jennifer a lump sum. The Murrays signed a prenuptial agreement in which Bill would pay his wife $7 million in a divorce, and, according to court documents, it is still valid.

In May, Butler Murray filed for divorce on the grounds of drug addiction, physical abuse, adultery and abandonment. She also requested a restraining order against her husband.

According to Butler Murray, she felt forced to move with their children to a new home as a result of the actor’s alcohol, marijuana and sex addictions, among other reasons. According to a newspaper report, the filing said that Murray once “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.”

At the time, the actor’s lawyer, John McDougall, said only: “I can say that Bill Murray is deeply saddened by the break-up of his marriage to Jennifer. They remain loving parents, committed to the best interest of their children.”

Comedian Bill Murray’s wife of more than 10 years, Jennifer, has filed for divorce.

In documents filed May 12 in a Charleston, S.C. family court, she accuses him of “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment,” the Charleston Post & Courier reports.

According to the six-page filing, she claims the funnyman abused her on more than one occasion during their marriage.

One time, the document claims, he “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’”

She is also seeking a restraining order banning him from her $3.65 million home and is asking the court to determine if their premarital agreement is valid and enforceable. (If the marriage is dissolved and the premarital agreement is made a part of the order, the Courier reports, he would have to pay her $7 million.)

They have four children.

His rep could not immediately be reached for comment.

Nobody worry about me, says Bill Murray. He was just dropping off people after a party when he was stopped in downtown Sweden driving a golf cart.

The police ”asked me to come over and they assumed that I was drunk and I explained to them that I was a golfer,” Murray told reporters Monday at the Venice Film Festival, where he appeared before the premiere of his new film ”The Darjeeling Limited.”

The actor-comedian, who was among the early cast members on NBC’s ”Saturday Night Live” and was nominated for an Oscar for 2003’s ”Lost in Translation,” said he was in Stockholm last month to play in a pro-am golf tournament, and hitched a ride to a post-event party in a golf cart.

When no one wanted to drive home, he volunteered.

”I ended up stopping and dropping people off on the way like a bus. I had about six people in the thing and I dropped them off one at a time and as the last couple were getting out, who wished to be dropped off at a 7-Eleven. … I didn’t know they had 7-Elevens in Stockholm,” said Murray, who turns 57 on Sept. 21.

That’s where police called him over.

Swedish police took a blood test after he refused a breath test. He could face drunken driving charges, though a Stockholm police official has said fines were more likely than a prison sentence.

Bill Murray was pulled over by police in Sweden while cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart, then refused to take breathalyzer test after police said they smelled alcohol, authorities said Wednesday.

The Lost in Translation Oscar nominee, 56, was stopped early Sunday after police saw him in the slow-moving vehicle. Police then noticed the alcohol smell, Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund of the Stockholm police tells the Associated Press.

Murray could face a a drunken driving charge for the incident.

“He refused to blow in the [breathalyzer] instrument, citing American legislation,” said Holmlund. “So we applied the old method – a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in.”

In describing Murray’s allegedly inebriated state, Holmlund said, “There were no obvious signs, like when someone is really tipsy.”

Murray, in Sweden to visit a golf tournament, subsequently signed a statement admitting to driving under the influence and agreed to permit a police officer plead guilty on his behalf should the case go to court, Holmlund said.

“Then he was let go. My guess is he went back to America,” according Holmlund, who said Murray would only be charged if tests show his blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit – said to be very low in Sweden.

A high alcohol level could lead to a prison sentence, however, Holmlund considered fines a more likely possibility.

Of the vehicle in question, “It was a golf cart. How it ended up in this predicament I don’t know,” said Holmlund, adding that Murray was not facing any theft charges.
