London
(ANI):
Singer
Cheryl
Cole
is
set
to
divorce
love-rat
husband
Ashley
Cole
in
the
High
Court
today.
X
Factor's
Cheryl,
27,
filed
for
divorce
on
grounds
of
unreasonable
behaviour
by
England
ace
Ashley,
29.
In
a
procedure
taking
just
seconds,
district
judge
Christopher
Simmonds
is
expected
to
grant
the
decree
nisi
in
court
nine.
After
a
six-week
cooling-off
period
the
decree
absolute
will
be
granted
-
leaving
no
legal
connection
between
the
stars.
Cheryl's
legal
team
first
sent
papers
to
Cole
last
May
and
filed
for
divorce.
Cole
responded
immediately
-
accepting
his
infidelity
had
wrecked
the
marriage.
The
case
is
referred
to
only
under
their
initials
-
reading
CAC
v
AC
-
but
tops
today's
list
of
29
divorces
at
the
court.
Neither
star
is
expected
to
attend
the
process
to
formally
dissolve
the
shattered
four-year
marriage.
"Cheryl
is
in
the
States
but
is
watching
things
very
closely.
She
is
relieved
and
pleased
things
have
progressed
significantly
since
her
illness.
She
just
wants
to
move
on
with
her
life
and
getting
the
divorce
done
will
end
a
very
painful
chapter," the
Sun
quoted
a
source
as
saying.
"She
and
Ashley
have
no
need
to
stay
in
touch
and
all
housing
and
assets
will
be
handled
by
their
legal
representatives."
Cheryl
had
initially
stated
she
did
not
want
a
penny
from
Chelsea
defender
Cole.
But
it
has
emerged
she
can
expect
up
to
4.5million
pounds
after
the
sale
of
assets
and
property
including
the
couple''s
Surrey
mansion.
