US pop star Madonna and Guy Ritchie ended eight years of marriage in a few minutes yesterday when a British court granted them a "quickie" divorce.
Neither Madonna, 50, nor British film director Ritchie, 40, were in court for the hearing, according to the Press Association. It was listed on Thursday under the names Ciccone M L v Ritchie G S.
A sworn statement released by the court showed Madonna petitioned for divorce on the grounds of Ritchie's unreasonable behaviour and she said the behaviour was continuing.
In another court document, district judge Philip Waller said he was happy the court did not need to exercise its powers under the Children Act nor give directions under the Matrimonial Causes Act.
Family lawyers said the document did not necessarily mean the terms of the divorce had been finalised, just that the court was happy with arrangements as they stood now.
The couple announced the split last month, nearly eight years after their fairy tale wedding at Skibo Castle in Scotland.
