Actor Tim Allen and his wife have reached a divorce settlement, avoiding a trial that was to have begun Thursday.
Laura Deibel, who married the "Home Improvement" star in 1984, filed for a legal separation in 1999 in Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple share custody of their 13-year-old daughter.
The settlement, terms of which weren't disclosed, was confirmed Thursday by the court. Representatives for Allen and Deibel did not immediately return calls for comment.
