Elin Nordegren is bringing in the big guns, reportedly hiring Nicole Kidman's divorce lawyer to preside over the disintegration of her marriage to Tiger Woods.
The 29-year-old mother of two has enlisted veteran legal eagle Sorrell Trope, 82, London's The Times reports.
Los Angeles-based Trope is experienced with high-profile cases. He's represented Nicole Kidman, Britney Spears and Cary Grant.
He also has Frank McCourt, the owner of the LA Dodgers baseball team, on his books, charging $239,000 for a month's work in November, the Los Angeles Times reported.
But Ms Nordegren's rumoured desire to file for divorce in California - where property laws could gift her a better settlement than in their home state of Florida - may not materialise, according to The Times.
Californian law requires her or Woods to have lived in the state for six months before any petition is filed.
"Particularly with children involved, who I believe have lived in Florida, you can't get around that easily,” Orlando-based divorce lawyer, John Wallace, told the paper.
“You don't need to be a rocket scientist to have done a good job drawing up a prenup.
"That's where she's going to have difficulty. You can't deal with children's issues in a prenup....This is the kind of divorce that's a lawyer's dream.
"You could have lawyers fighting over several different issues in different states.”
Meantime, bookmakers continue to have a field day with the scandal.
British bookmaker William Hill is taking bets on just how much Ms Nordegren will get if she decides to divorce the world's No. 1 golfer, who is taking an indefinite break from the sport after admitting to infidelities.
As the scandal widens, gamblers can get 25-1 odds Ms Nordegren will receive more than half a billion dollars in a divorce settlement. The odds drop to 6-4 for a settlement under $100 million. William Hill is offering only 1-2 odds that she would get between $100 million and $500 million.
At odds of 25-1, people who bet $1 and win will get $25 plus the $1 stake back. At 6-4 odds, a $4 bet will get $10 in return.
William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said the company had been taking bets on whether or not the couple would get divorced at all, but took the market down because it was too one-sided with people betting on divorce. William Hill also had bets on how many women would come forward as alleged mistresses, but Mr Adams said that was too difficult to verify.
None of the bets, though, have been for much money.
"People are putting on small bets, probably so they can have a giggle in the pub and show their mate a betting slip," Mr Adams said.
"It's not vast sums of money."
Two other British bookmakers, Ladbrokes and Coral, are only taking bets on Woods as a golfer, saying they wanted to stay away from his personal problems.
"We did think about it, but we tend not to go down there," Coral spokesman Gary Burton said.
Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said his company is more concerned about Woods' sporting achievements.
"We usually stay away from the less tasteful elements, so we've given that one a miss," Mr Weinberg said.
Ladbrokes is only taking bets on whether or not Woods, with 14 major titles, will break Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 — and the odds on that are getting longer.
"He's 2-5 to break the record, 23-1 not to," Mr Weinberg said.
"We were as short as 1-20."
Coral is taking bets on whether Woods will play at the Masters, the first major of the year, in April.
Two weeks ago, they were giving 9-2 odds that he would miss the tournament at Augusta. That's been cut to 11-10 because of the mounting scandal.
Woods is also 4-6 to play at the Masters, and 2-9 to break Nicklaus' major record.
As for Woods ever playing golf again, Coral has cut the odds from 33-1 to 16-1.
William Hill is offering the most bets, going even further than next season by giving 6-1 odds that Woods will win the Olympic gold medal at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
He is also 4-6 to play at this year's Masters and 11-8 to win a major in 2010.
"In terms of golf, we think that it won't affect him massively," Mr Adams said.
"He's such a focused bloke, I think he can separate the two.
"If anything, he might come back more focused."
