Madonna announced last month that she and Ritchie were going their separate ways… and now they have been granted divorce.

Following a hearing in London Friday, the judge at the clinical Principal Registry of the Family Division of the High Court in High Holburn, London has granted divorce to the British director and the Sticky and Sweet performer.

Reports state that the couple, who married in Scotland in 2000, will share joint custody over their children, Rocco, 8, and David, 3, who will split their time between Mummy Madonna in the US and Dad Guy in the UK.

Lourdes, 12, will be staying with Madonna since she is the singer’s daughter with Carlos Leon, the 50-year-old singer’s previous partner.

The couple’s 8-year-old union will be legally dissolved in six weeks time when they will be granted a decree absolute.

Darn, that was fast. Somebody with "emotional disabilities" wanted out reeeaaal bad.
