The parade of ugly that was Madonna and Guy Ritchie's divorce wrangling has come to an end. According to the London Times, the estranged couple have received a quickie divorce settlement.

How quick? Their marriage dissolution was but one of 16 that District Judge Reid of the Principal Registry of the Family Division in High Holburn, London, performed Thursday. Neither Madonna or Ritchie were present for the decision.

Under the agreement, Madge (born Madonna Louise Ciccone), 50, and Ritchie, 40, will share custody of their children, Rocco, 8, and David Banda, 3. The kids will divide their time between Ritchie's London residence and Madonna's homeland of America.

Ritchie also did not receive a cut of Madonna's considerable fortune, in accordance with his publicly stated wishes.

The pair, who married in December 2000, announced their breakup last month amid rumors that Madonna had begun dating New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, 33.

Since then, reports of Madonna and A-Rod's involvement have increased, while Ritchie has been busy pursuing his own passions.

Quotables /
“Opting for a quick and fairly painless severing of ties (as far as celebrity divorces go), super pop diva Madonna and Guy Ritchie are now officially no longer a couple. And good for them. Might as well rip it off like a Band-Aid nice and fast!”
Socialite Life
“Madonna and Guy Ritchie finalized their divorce today at a court in London. The two were granted a so-called “quickie divorce.” Madonna listed the reason for the split as Guy’s “continuing unreasonable behavior.” Whatever bitch.”

“Madonna and Guy Ritchie are officially divorced. The settlement was reached this morning in a London courtroom where neither Madonna nor Guy were present.”
“Madonna and Guy Ritchie have been granted a quickie divorce today. The decree nisi was announced at the Principal Registry of the Family Division in High Holborn, London, but the pair did not attend. It brings to an end almost eight years of marriage for the former celebrity golden couple who married in a fairytale wedding at Skibo Castle in the Highlands of Scotland on December 22, 2000.”
