Madonna and Guy Ritchie divorce
Madonna finally got what she wanted without a dent on her wealth in terms of alimony costs after she and husband Guy Ritchie obtained a quickie divorce last Friday which officially ended their eight-year marriage. Madonna and Guy Ritchie, who were married in December 2000, had an uncontested divorce in a London High Court. The only foreseen hitch in the proceeding was the question of child custody but that was settled between them.
Reports show that Madonna wanted the three children to stay with her. Madonna has a 12-year old daughter sired by fitness trainer Carlos Leon, a three-year old adopted son and the couple’s eight-year old son. Ritchie said the case has already dragged on for a long time but claimed it had nothing to do with him nor his alleged demand for money since money has never been an issue. Ritchie’s fortune is estimated at $60 million but he could have had up to 50% of the $600 million estimated wealth of Madonna under the divorce laws of Britain.
