The Lethal Weapon star had been booked to answer questions about ex-lover Oksana Grigorieva’s explosive claims that the Oscar winning actor/director punched her in the face twice, leaving her with two broken teeth and a concussion.
But on Wednesday – 48 hours before the grilling – lawyers for Mel advised Oksana’s camp he was unavailable to appear for the deposition, RadarOnline.com has been told.

Multiple sources confirm to RadarOnline.com that Mel has left the United States.
He has homes in Costa Rica and Fiji.
Mel’s return date is not known and his legal team has not yet confirmed another date for him to be deposed.
By postponing the probe, Mel continues to avoid questions about his bitter custody battle with Oksana over their infant daughter Lucia.
Oksana, 40, has told investigators Mel, 54, exploded in rage January 6 at his Malibu mansion and punched her as she held their daughter.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's detectives are probing the allegation, along with Mel’s claim Oksana tried to extort millions from him with threats of a scandal.
Investigators spoke to Mel last month, however, the embattled Braveheart star invoked his constitutional rights to not answer any questions pertaining to the allegations.

Despite Mel’s silence, Oksana was deposed twice this week.
At the center of the probe was whether Oksana leaked the explosive tapes to RadarOnline.com, in which Mel is heard spewing racial slurs, profanity and hatred toward his ex-lover.
It’s understood Oksana protested to Mel’s lawyers she was not responsible for the tapes becoming public.
As we reported, Oksana did not give RadarOnline.com the tapes.

If its not set up and agreed without agreement by both sets of lawyers you also can not either "miss" or "fail to turn up" to an meeting!!!

Undoubtedly, Meltdown will refuse to answer deposition questions and invoke the 5th Amendment.

If Depraved Heart continues to avoid be deposed, the court will compel him to attend.

Incorrect. A deposition is "noticed" by one side and is thus set. It is common for the lawyers to continue a deposition to another date by mutual agreement, but that is a courtesy.

Incorrect.

I think ROL staff need to look up the work skipped in the dictionary!! you can not skip an appointment which is not set up!! Lawyers on 1 side may have requested but both sides must agree on date for it to be formally set up.

The DCFS clearing also puts question marks over other claims of abuse. They would look at the whole relationship & home. He paid his child support, put a roof over their heads, & now paid the lawyers for his ex.
