London
(ANI):
Madonna
has
further
intensified
reports
that
her
marriage
to
Guy
Ritchie
has
hit
an
all
time
low,
by
lining
up
the
divorce
lawyer
who
masterminded
Sir
Paul
McCartney's
divorce
battle
with
Heather
Mills.
The
49-year-old
superstar
allegedly
had
talks
with
Fiona
Shackleton
in
April
after
her
seven-year
marriage
was
in
crisis.
While
the
legendary
singer
was
hopeful
for
a
truce
with
Guy
defying
any
need
of
paperwork,
it
now
seems
that
her
relationship
with
the
filmmaker
hit
such
a
low
that
she
opted
for
a
proper
consultation.
"Madonna
always
seeks
out
the
best
in
whatever
field
she
is
interested
in
at
any
given
time.
Fiona
Shackleton
is
the
best," The
Mirror
quoted
a
friend
of
the
singer,
as
saying.
Meanwhile
Shackleton,
has
earned
herself
a
fearsome
reputation
in
her
handling
of
two
of
the
highest-profile
divorces
-
Charles
and
Diana
followed
by
Macca
v
Mills.
"Apparently
Madonna
was
impressed
by
Fiona's
work
for
Sir
Paul
and
the
way
she
handles
herself
in
the
public
eye.
She
is
a
consummate
professional,"
said
one
of
Shackleton's
friends.
While
Shackleton's
assistant
refused
to
comment
on
the
issue,
a
spokesman
for
Madonna
said:
"We
are
unable
to
comment
on
this."
