MADONNA LAYING GROUNDWORK FOR A DIVORCE: REPORT

Madonna may be ready to end her marriage of seven years.

The pop star is seeking legal advice from divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney in his divorce, according to the Times of London. Her husband, Guy Ritchie, is believed to be dealing with a law firm called Forsters, the newspaper reported.

A spokesman for Madonna declined to comment to the Times.

Called the “steel magnolia” because she’s so tough, Shackleton also represented Prince Charles in his divorce.

The Times reported that Madonna and Ritchie apparently didn’t have a prenuptial agreement, which would mean a 50-50 split of assets is possible. Madonna is believed to be worth about $600 million.
