"The main concern for Madonna and Guy are their children – the security of their children in all senses of the word and the wellbeing of their children," Rosenberg told People. "That's the priority for both of them moving forward. It's a sad situation."
The former couple, who have Rocco, 8, and David, 3, together and Madonna's 12-year-old daughter Lourdes with ex Carlos Leon, have not yet reached a settlement.
"The judgment of the court would be to try and assess what they came in with and divide what they built up fairly equally," said David Allison, a lawyer with Family Law in Partnership, a London firm, to the Associated Press.
If you recall, amidst the talk that the couple was splitting a few months back, there was a rumour that the couple had no pre-nup. This has been confirmed exclusively to Perezhilton. As a result, Madonna has hired big name British divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton, who has also represented Prince Charles and Sir Paul McCartney in their divorice settlements.
With $518 million at stake, this is probably the right choice! This could definitely get messy!
