Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and at this point it really is looking like doomsday for Madonna’s marriage to Guy Ritchie.

Fiona Shackleton, the divorce lawyer who ensured that Sir Paul McCartney retained all but 24.3 million of his 825 million fortune, has been lined up by the 49-year-old pop star, according to the Times of London.

Madonna, whose fortune is estimated at $300 million, is understood to be seeking legal advice on a possible divorce from her husband of seven years, the film director Guy Ritchie.

No Pre-Nup?

It is thought that the couple did not have a pre-nuptial agreement, which means that the starting point for any settlement would be a split of 50-50. A variety of factors such as the length of the marriage and the wealth brought to the marriage by Madonna, in particular, would then be taken into account.

Is it possible that Madonna did not sign a pre-nup? That’s pretty unreal. Thoughts?
