Under an original 2011 agreement, Oksana, 46, and their daughter Lucia were supposed to be allowed to live in the house until Lucia turned 18.
A new agreement made earlier this month nixed that plan in favor of Oksana receiving an extra $10,000 in child support a month, bringing her total per month payments to approximately $30,000.
Family friendly: The large home is located in Sherman Oaks which is in Los Angeles' Valley area and popular with families

She allegedly had been asking for $100k a month as the two fought over child support for six-year-old Lucia.
However, they finally struck a deal for the smaller increase, with Oksana also agreeing to move out of Mel's rental home. She is said to be renting a place in Malibu.
Originally Mel had agreed to pay Oksana $15 million to settle child support and alleged domestic dispute cases, but that hinged on her keeping recordings of him secret.

However, after signing the deal, Oksana then released the tapes - in which Gibson can be heard using racist language and threatening to beat his then-girlfriend - at which point her settlement was drastically reduced.
Oksana then spoke about Mel on The Howard Stern show in 2013, after which The Californian Court of Appeal are understood to have denied her the remaining $500,000 of the then already reduced $750,000 payment.
The 60-year-old actor had already paid Oksana $250,000, but TMZ claim the actor is no longer obligated to pay the outstanding balance due to her forfeiting their agreement.
