MADONNA AND her film director husband Guy Ritchie will be officially divorced today amid reports that Ritchie will walk away with none of the singer's $450 million (€360 million) fortune.
The couple, who were married for almost eight years, will have their decree nisi announced in the High Court in London at 10am.
Although they announced their plans to divorce last month, Madonna (50) had reportedly contacted leading divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton in June.
It is believed that Ms Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney in his divorce battle with Heather Mills, and Ritchie's lawyer Helen Ward, worked hard to reach the agreement, which the couple wanted to finalise before Christmas.
The "quickie" divorce - in which both parties agree to all the terms, including how to divide up numerous properties - will see their two sons, Rocco (8) and David (3), who was adopted from Malawi in 2006, dividing their time between Britain and the US. Ritchie (40) is believed to have his own £30 million fortune.
