Divorce is always hard for anyone going through it. But perhaps for celebrities it can be even harder, especially when every aspect of the situation is being published for the world to see. Below are examples of some recent famous divorces:
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
This divorce has been a hot topic since its announcement in June this year - It is Tom Cruise's third divorce, but here Tom made sure a prenup was involved. No one knows the content of their prenup, but considering what usually happens with celebrity divorces it might be wise to guess that Katie Holmes will find herself with a lot of money once they are done.
Many prenuptial agreements state what a couple wish to do in the event of a divorce, and they have been in use in the US from the late nineteenth century. They often help to make the hard time easier by setting out who will get what and how much money will be given by each party. But even these cannot save a case from getting messy, as evident by the number of divorce scandals circulating the internet.
Paul McCartney and Heather Mills
Paul McCartney, the sweetheart of the Beatles, had allowed his rather musically untalented first wife Linda to sing on their albums and at their concerts. Considering her bad voice, fans were displeased about this. However, the couple loved each other and seemed to have a perfect marriage until Linda died of cancer in 1998. Paul was left to care for their children alone.
Sir Paul later fell head over heels for Heather Mills. While his children disagreed, Paul was certain he wanted to marry her and did so without a prenup - this was to be an issue.
But by 2006 their relationship had turned bad and the two wanted a divorce. Reports stated that Heather was trying it on and that the judge disliked her, but she ended up being given a total of around lb74 million - although some of this was to aid her in looking after their child.
Always a romantic, Sir Paul is now married to Nancy Shevell, a New Yorker with much money of her own - again, no prenup. Meanwhile Heather has reportedly spent nearly all of her received money on business, charities and two properties for her daughter.
Madonna and Guy Ritchie
Movie director Guy Ritchie appeared to be surprised at the coverage of his 'soap opera' divorce with pop-star Madonna - it was as though he hadn't seen another celebrity divorce before.
Despite the fact that one of the prevailing initial rumours stated that Ritchie didn't want even a penny of Madonna's money and that simply wanted a good situation for the children, the couple settled on a high figure late last year. The estimated figure of this settlement was between lb47 and lb56 million, as well as the value of their two properties in the UK.
