No drama here.

The divorce was finalized on June 18 in a Manhattan court.

The 53-year old "Californication" actor will be paying $40,000 a month to Leoni as well as an additional $8,333 a month in child support. The couple has two children - 15-year old daughter Madelaine and, 12-year old son Kyd.

The court has also ordered that the actor pay for his children's other expenses, which include medical check-ups, summer camp, schooling, tutoring and extracurricular activities.

Computation for the support payment was based on the former "X-Files" actor's $7.9 million annual salary.

Although Leoni will have primary physical custody of Madelaine and Kyd, the former couple will have joint legal custody of the two.

Duchovny and Leoni, star of "Deep Impact", were married for 17 years before filing for divorce last year.

The couple's union started disintegrating when Duchovny revealed that he had a sex addiction. After his revelation, the star checked into rehab in August 2008.

After their first split, the two reunited briefly, but broke up again in 2011.

The two finally decided to call it quits in 2013, listing their New York City home for $9.25 million.

Currently, Duchovny lives in a three-bedroom condo in New York. The said condo has links to his former "X-Files" co-star, Gillian Anderson.

During their personal turmoil, Leoni decided to focus on spending time with the children instead of her Hollywood career.

When she decided to return to work, she asked her son if he was okay with her not being around as much, to which he replied, "Yeah, I was getting kind of sick of you."

Leoni will be leading the cast of the new CBS drama, "Madam Secretary".
