Madonna MadonnaGuyB.jpgWow! That was fast!

Divorce proceedings are scheduled to start Friday for Madonna and Guy Ritchie in the UK, according to Reuters.

The case is listed in London's High Court as "Ciccone M L v Ritchie G S" in the family division.

Both are entitled to attend the court, but neither Madge nor Guy is expected to show up.

After an initial divorce decree is issued, the split will be finalized in about six weeks.

It's expected that Guy will not accept any financial settlement from Madonna, but that the two will share custody of their sons, Rocco and David.

Maybe this one isn't going to be as ugly as we thought!
