Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- Nicolas Cage and his ex-girlfriend agreed on a financial settlement to end a lawsuit that she filed against the actor over his promise to give her the home where she raised his son . Christina Fulton 's lawyer would not disclose the terms of the deal , but she called it `` mutually satisfying '' for both sides . When a Los Angeles County sheriff 's deputy , who was escorting Cage out of the courthouse Tuesday afternoon , said to him `` Long day , huh ? '' the actor grunted and said `` Yeah . '' Cage , Fulton and their lawyers spent much of the day mediating the case in the chambers of Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Teresa Sanchez-Gordon . At one point , Judge Sanchez-Gordon walked into the courthouse hallway to consult with Fulton and her lawyers , with reporters standing nearby . It was the only public clue that a large sum of cash was about to change hands , although the amount is secret . Fulton , the mother of Cage 's 20-year-old son , filed her $ 13 million lawsuit two years ago , accusing Cage of breaking his promise to let her keep the Hollywood home where she raised Weston Cage . Although she is still living in the home , she faces eviction since Cage allowed it to go into foreclosure , she said in a recent CNN interview . It was not revealed whether the lawsuit settlement would allow her to keep the house . A huge federal tax debt and the falling value of his investments caused Cage to lose several other homes in the past two years . Their son was placed on a psychiatric hold in a Los Angeles hospital for several days last week after a violent incident on a Hollywood sidewalk . Fulton said the resolution of her lawsuit clears the way for her to seek a conservatorship of her son . The mother claims he needs special psychiatric care that he has not gotten since he moved out of her home after he turned 18 . Weston Cage issued a statement through his father 's lawyer last week saying he did n't want `` anything to do with my mother . '' `` Any problems that I have ever had is because of the relationship that I had with my mother , '' his statement said . That drew a quick retort from Fulton : `` My son is under a spell . He 's under a trance . Weston would say whatever his dad wants him to say . '' She suggested that Cage 's lawyer solicited it from her son while he was under a psychiatric hold at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center . On Tuesday , Fulton said she would not be deterred from seeking control over her son . `` The right parent is not the most popular , '' Fulton said . Earlier , Fulton called the quote , she called it `` an absolute disgrace , '' suggesting that Cage 's lawyer solicited a statement from her son while he was under a psychiatric hold at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center .
The settlement was `` mutually satisfying , '' Christina Fulton 's lawyer says . Fulton sued Cage , accusing of breaking a promise to give her the house . She claims that she never received any money from Cage and has been unable to sell it since then because of Cage's legal action against her.
