Two of London’s most formidable female lawyers will go head to head over Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s divorce.
The pop superstar will be represented by Fiona Shackleton who acted for Sir Paul McCartney in his L24.3 million split from Heather Mills earlier this year.
Facing her will be Helen Ward, who secured L48 million for Beverley Charman when she split from her insurance magnate husband John in 2006.
Mrs Charman’s payout is thought to be the biggest divorce award in English legal history.
A spokesman for the film director confirmed he had hired Manches, the firm where Lady Ward is a partner, but would not say which lawyer would represent Mr Ritchie. Manches refused to comment.
According to the firm’s website Lady Ward “specialises in family law, with emphasis on the financial consequences of the breakdown of relationships with particular expertise in cases involving substantial assets, complexity and an international element.”
It adds: “Where it is necessary she also deals with cases involving the resolution of disputes relating to the children.”
Arrangements for the couple’s children are likely to be central to Madonna and Mr Ritchie’s divorce.
The singer has a 12-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from a previous relationship. The couple have an eight-year-old son, Rocco, and adopted their younger son, David, three, from Malawi.
The divorce was announced in a joint statement released on Wednesday, nearly eight years after the couple’s lavish wedding at Skibo castle, Scotland, on December 22, 2000.

I think Guy would provide a stable background for Rocco. All you Guy haters have forgotton about poor Rocco. Madonna was the selfish one in this relationship, everyone knows that. Who the fuck does this freak think she is????? If she thinks she’s giving an image of being an all loving, earth mother she wouldn’t be going through all this. She is selfish through and through.
Yeah, fuck off Madonna back to the home of the freaks where you belong. Go back and lick Palin’s punani as you so obviously want to do.
Poor Guy, he wants a real woman to fuck. Imagine all those years of pent of frustration. I bet you all Madonna is well shit in bed. He must think when he wakes up to her in the mornings, he’s woken up next to a corpse. He’s had a very lucky escape.
I’m off to his pub later YAY!
Kandra - So does Guy, and he seems to be a better parent.
Ally your so goddamn stupid.
I dont think she needs to waste her life just Bcuz you think her kids need to be raised in UK.you aint their parent,she is.and she knows whats best 4 ‘em.
ALLY - I totally agree with you!!!!!
Madonna is so fucking selfish!
She dont even care about her own babies!
Shame on her!
They should be raised in London so they could live a normal life. NY with Madonna would be a chaos, but maybe they could live that prette normal too.. Hmm.. Anyway…
Ok, if she is a “Godness”, then did she make the Universe, Earth and Sky? Only a god can do that.
I don’t hate Madonna?
I just think she is cheap.
Fuck OFF!
