According to a report in ‘The Mirror’, Elin has contacted a top celebrity divorce lawyer in California.
“Elin Nordegren -- rocked by her husband’s string of alleged affairs -- could get half the 337.5 million pounds he has earned in the five years they have been married,” the report stated.

The 29-year-old Swede, spotted recently without her wedding ring fuelling speculation of a seperation from the golfer who has been romatically linked to 14 women so far.
Tiger has taken an “indefnite break” from golf to save his marriage but if reports are to be believed, Elin is in no mood to forgive her husband’s “trangressions”. Reports say Elin will meet celebrity lawyer Sorrell Trope next week.
“Trope, 82, a partner in Californian law firm Trope and Trope, has represented big-name stars including Cary Grant, Nicole Kidman, Nicolas Cage and Britney Spears in a 60-year career,” the report said.

Elin plans to file for divorce in California instead of Florida, where the couple resides.
“Under California law the ‘no-fault divorce’, introduced in 1970, means there is an equal division of assets and property. This could mean that any pre-nuptial agreement Elin signed with the golf star will be torn up,” the report said.

“Mr Trope is the best divorce lawyer in the business and the divorce laws in California are much more favourable than most other states. “Elin can fight for half of what her husband has earned since they were married. And Trope can bust through any pre-nup -- he’s done it many times before,” a source was quoted as saying.
