Madonna and Guy Ritchie's divorce granted.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie's divorce has been granted.

The pair - who were married for nearly eight years - were given a decree
nisi at the clinical Principal Registry of the Family Division in High
Holborn, London
Listed under the names Ciccone M L v Ritchie G S, their case was heard by
District Judge Reid along with 16 other cases which were for "pronouncement
of decree or order under the special procedure rule".
In court papers and an affidavit signed in Beverly Hills, Madonna listed
Guy's "unreasonable behaviour" as the reason for the divorce.
Neither party were present at the court.
The couple must now wait six weeks and one day before their decree absolute
is awarded, officially ending their marriage.
It has been claimed Guy will receive £2 million of the pop superstar's
reported £300 million fortune and will share custody of the pair's sons
Rocco and David.
Guy said : "It dragged on much too long and that had
nothing to do with me. It was never about the money - never about her b****y
art collection. I just wanted to settle it and move on.
"I didn't raise any objections at any stage until she insisted the children
lived permanently in New York."
Madonna's daughter Lourdes, from a previous relationship, will remain with
her in New York.
