The Madonna & Guy Ritchie debate continues with attention having moved from ‘who gets the money’ to ‘who gets the children’ with Madonna reportedly wanting to settle in New York with their three children and Guy wanting to remain in the UK.

The couple have an eight year old son, Rocco, adopted Malawian David Banda, aged three and 12 year old Lourdes from a previous relationship of Madonna’s.

It is of course hoped that the couple will manage to reach agreement regarding the children without the need for Court Proceedings which can often prove extremely stressful and lengthy. It is always preferable for families to agree arrangements which are in the best interests of the children without recourse to Court where an effective stranger, albeit very experienced in judging these matters, will decide what is in your children’s best interests.
 

Let’s hope that with the right legal advice and support the couple reach agreement and avoid any long term emotional damage being caused to the children.
