The celebrity couple have managed to avoid a Mills-McCartney style circus in the courts by agreeing terms on finances and the custody of their children.
A notice of their decree nisi will be published in the Registry of the Family Division in London on Friday and a formal announcement from the couple is also expected.
Madonna will keep all of her L300 million fortune after Ritchie – said to be worth L30 million – said he did not want any of her money.
Legally, he could have been entitled to half of the wealth earned during their seven and a half year marriage, which is estimated to be L120 million, and reportedly rejected a L20million offer.
The biggest concern was the children, with both parents wanting the two boys to live with them.
But the couple will share custody of their sons, eight-year-old Rocco and three-year-old adopted David, who will divide their time between New York with their mother and London with their father.
Madonna’s 12-year-old daughter Lourdes, from a previous relationship, will live in America with her mother.
Under the details hammered out by the couple’s lawyers, it is understood that Ritchie will keep the couple’s 1,200 acre estate in Wiltshire – reputed to be worth L12 million – and the Punchbowl Pub in Mayfair.
Madonna hired Fiona Shackleton, who represented Sir Paul McCartney in his acrimonious split from Heather Mills, while Ritchie took on Lady Helen Ward.
He also hired Stephen Cobb, QC, one of Britain’s top children’s lawyers.

oh dear first and foremost i dont have to learn english cause its not my first language.second u too beneath me spitting your shit on me and cursing…respect is something u will learn if u become a respectfull person….end of discussion…u r to brainless to talk to.
Oh Jay! You really are a king-size knob head. If Guy was fucking around (and the Great British public wouldn’t blame him), why didn’t Madonna put that down on the petition?????
Learn to fucking write English Jay, you CUNT!!
it`s not my style respond messages but…(???)are u prince? u dont have a name? ok. when she was ,like u said,not keeping her legs closed with a-rod what was guy doing? taking care of children? helping africa?directing some crapping movie?studing kaballah?drinking?fishing? I don`t think so.If,cause i don`t believe in this crap papers,she was cheating on him maybe just maybe he was doing the same.I SAW her in his premiere,looking fabulous smiling on his side to promote him around the world…yes she have that power…he on the other hand went to cannes festival to `help` her with that pitbull face…left her alone on the red carpet she went up the stairs to meet sharon all byhersef…not very polite for a british gentleman…i don`t judge him or her….i think and get to my conclusions with photos and facts.
I am glad to know that Guy is sticking to his word. He said from the start that if they were ever to divorce he wouldn’t take a penny from her. If he is getting something is what he brought to the marriage wich sounds very fair to me.
Oh yeah Jay!!!!!!! Madonna really did try so hard to keep her marriage together. Pity she didn’t do the same with her legs with A-Rod.
Go Guy. Find a woman with curves in all the right places and knows how to have fun.
this proves that all that bullshit the press takes from `close friends` or `sources` is not true at all…they are adults they`re not in love anymore,they tried rebuild the marriage,but as adults they realize there was no reason to be together.i hope they will be happy…and became friends like she and carlos are nowadays.If she is a controlfreak he`s a stupid teenager to realize that just EIGHT YEARS and too kids later.I know 1 thing.I think she tried harder.She went to his premiere and they were divorcing.He on the other hand didnot appear on the rock and roll hall of fame.
If he`s angry that she workout too much i say that he only was attracted to her cause shes doesnot looks like a 50 year old granny.she`s a beautiful hot older woman.By the way look at some pics from his premiere in 2000snatch.he was hot.In a red tshirt.Now she looks better then that and he lokks awfull…older than his age.
Well this is getting to long i just wanna say they`re nice together but it seems that everyone is happier now.Good luck to everyone.
