Tiger Woods' website has officially revealed about the finalized divorce settlement of the number one golfer in the world, Tiger Woods with wife of five years and a former model Elin Nordegren.In October 2004, Woods married Elin Nordegren, a Swedish former model and daughter of former Minister of Migration Barbro Holmberg and journalist Thomas Nordegren.
The Judgment was delivered on August 23, in Bay County (Florida) Circuit Court dissolving the marriage. The Judgment provides for shared parenting of their two children.
Am Law reports that Elin Nordegren was advised by McGuireWoods, with attorneys Richard Cullen and Dennis I. Belcher in Richmond, Scott S. Cairns in Jacksonville and Walter H. White, Jr., and Josefin Lonnborg in London, assisted by Rebecca Palmer of Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster, Kantor & Reed, P.A.
Tiger Woods was represented by Thomas J. Sasser of Sasser, Cestero and Sasser P.A., and Peter T. Mott of Brody Wilkinson, P.C., Golfer’s long time General Counsel.

Above the Law reports that Elin Nordegren will walk away from her marriage to Woods with between $100 million (Rs. 450 crore) and $150 million (Rs. 675 crore). And although contingency fees aren’t permissible in divorce cases, we believe McGuireWoods will be paid well.
