Cheryl Cole to Divorce Ashley Cole – Costly Divorce Battle Begins

Just yesterday we broke news that Cheryl Cole Wants a Divorce from Ashley following his latest infidelities. Rather than going over all the details again, I’ll cut to what really matters, and where things go from here.

Friends close to Cheryl claim that she is “definitely proceeding with divorce” which, if true, will put a stop to all the people who have said the divorce is unlikely to happen…. me included!!!

A friend with Cheryl in LA said: “Cheryl is holding it together, she is extremely tough. She loves Ashley, he is the love of her life, but there is only so much she will take. Cheryl is exhausted with it all. There was a point when she was going to ride it all out, but she heard rumours of more women coming forward, and cannot face that. They will publicly split within weeks.“

But let’s just assume for the next few minutes that the Cheryl Cole Divorce is 100% going ahead. What will happen to the Cole’s assets? Well lets talk about that now…

The couple failed to sign a pre-nuptial agreement before their wedding in 2006, meaning a split is likely to result in a very costly divorce battle. Although Cheryl is a millionaire in her own right, she is significantly less wealthy than Ashley. Last year the Cole’s joint worth was £13 million – almost all of which accrued after their wedding.

That figure is likely to be much higher now, but a legal source has said: “This is an unusual situation for a footballer as very few have wives with their own earnings. However the discrepancy between their net worth means that Mrs Cole would have a very strong case for a significant claim over a large portion of his wealth, now and in the future.“

So putting it bluntly, although Ashley is worth much more than Cheryl, Cheryl has a right to much more of his wealth than he is of her wealth. SHE will come out on top financially if the divorce goes ahead. That is likely to piss Ashley off, which is fantastic news for me and the rest of the fans at this website *high five*.

But what are each Ashley and Cheryl Cole worth individually? Take a look at the following diagram for details…

Although this is not 100% certain, In cases like this, the man (Ashley) is likely to keep the house, while the woman (Cheryl) will walk away with a tidy sum in her back pocket. She is also highly likely to keep the family pets, loosing the pets to Ashley will be a bitter blow to Cheryl, so lets all hope for her sake that he doesnt contest and will let her have her Buster and CoCo.

So those of us who are hoping Cheryl will cut Ashley’s dick off, sorry, divorce him, it looks like our hopes maybe answered by the good lady herself.

More news when we have it!!
