Madonna filed for divorce in October 2008, citing irreconcilable differences. On 15 December 2008, Madonna's spokeswoman announced that she had agreed to a divorce settlement with Ritchie, the terms of which grant him between £50–60 million, which includes the value of the couple's London pub and Wiltshire estate in England. This would be one of the largest divorce settlements in history. The couple issued a joint statement calling the settlement "misleading and inaccurate", and that it remains private. At the Principal Registry of the Family Division, district judge Caroline Reid pronounced the "decree nisi," which dissolved the marriage within six weeks"." Madonna and Ritchie entered a custody agreement for their children.
