Nicole Richie Meets With Divorce Lawyer, Source Reveals
‘In Touch’ has exclusively learned that Nicole Richie has taken the next step towards ending her four-year marriage to rocker Joel Madden.
A source exclusively shares with ‘In Touch,’ “Nicole recently met with one of LA’s most prominent divorce attorneys and is weighing her options.”
The source explains that months of bitter arguments over things like their busy schedules and parenting their kids — daughter Harlow, 7, and son Sparrow, 5 — have proven to be too much for Nicole and Joel.

As ‘In Touch’ previously reported, the couple have been “spending more time apart because all they do is fight when they’re together.”
“The last thing she wants is a public split with the children involved, but she’s desperately unhappy,” the source shares.
