Madonna Hires Sir Paul's Tough Divorce Lawyer (Photos)

Our friends over at Holy Moly! just revealed that Madonna has hired the toughest divorce lawyer in Britain, Nicholas Mostyn QC. The singer is said to be ending her eight year marriage to producer Guy Ritchie.

Mostyn was Sir Paul McCartney's heavy hitter and has a long list of high profile divorce cases that he has handled successfully in favor of his clients. Madonna is apparently not messing around. Forbes estimated Madonna's earnings from last year at $72 million and word is that there isn't a prenup. Ouch! That means that Guy could be entitled to half.

No juicy news on why the couple are going their separate ways other than they grew apart - boring. Now that the adoption of their son David Banda is finalized, it is no longer essential to keep the marital bonds intact and it appears the end is in sight for the couple.

Rumors have surfaced for some time now, noting that the couple have had very few public appearances over the past six months. The meeting between Madge and Mostyn is said to have taken place in London over ten days ago. We will keep you posted on any new details or denials as they surface.
