In short:
Pop star Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie have been granted a divorce at the High Court in London. The decree was granted just a month after the couple, who have three children, declared their eight-year marriage was over.
The couple wed at Skibo Castle in Scotland in December 2000, and announced their separation last month after months of speculation.
It has been reported that the couple did not demand a financial settlement from each other. Madonna is thought to be worth some £300m, while Ritchie is believed to have £30m in assets.
The couple are also reported to have agreed to share custody of their two boys, Rocco, eight, and three-year-old adopted David Banda, while Madonna's daughter from an earlier relationship, 12-year-old Lourdes, will stay with her.
Another statement released by the court showed Senior District Judge Philip Waller, who granted the divorce, was satisfied the court did not need to exercise powers under the This suggests the couple had come to an agreement over custody before the divorce.
My opinion:
I think it is great that there finally is a "Hollywood" divorse without any drama! No arguments about custody over the children or the need to for money from your ex. I think this is because they both are succesfull people who are independant and do not need each others support. It is also best for their children, in this way they don't have to deal with any rumours or stories in the tabloids.
