Tiger Woods divorce: Elin Nordegren hires lawyer Sorrell Trope

This Tiger Woods update has his wife Elin Nordegren reportedly hiring celebrity lawyer Sorrell Trope. From my research Sorrell Trope is one to hire when someone means to smash a prenuptial agreement. It also means Elin is not only serious about divorcing Tiger Woods, she's going to take as much of his money as she can get.

Sorrell Trope

Sorrell Trope of Trope & Trope in LA is 82, lives in Brentwood, CA, and has practiced law since 1949. His area of practice is Family Law. He's received the highest possible ratings at Lawyers.com. (Now I don't know how well that can be trusted, but it's there for review.) A website called "TenLeaders" wrote this about Trope:

By the time (President John F.) Kennedy had taken office, Trope was Southern California’s paramount divorce lawyer, representing the likes of Cary Grant and Rod Steiger, among others...Years later Nicole Kidman retained Trope in her split from Tom Cruise.

Sorrell Trope also more recently represented Britney Spears in her child custody and divorce case against Kevin Federline.    


Meanwhile, the Times Mirror UK reports that Nordegren's told her friends the divorce is 100 percent on.  Now I still don't know how we went from marriage counseling to this point in just two weeks, but I suppose something about a rumored "love child" by Theresa Rogers may have something to do with it.

Regardless, it's a massively big mess for the World's Greatest Golfer.

Stay tuned.
