While news of the decision by billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his wife of 27 years, Melinda Gates, to end their marriage sent shock waves throughout the media, philanthropic world, and business sectors, divorce attorneys expect details of the actual divorce settlement to be far less dramatic than the announcement.

Even though the settlement from their divorce could be one of the largest in history, Stuart P. Slotnick, co-chair of Matrimonial and Family Law at Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney, expects the divorce proceedings to be rather tame. So those looking for a nasty legal battle may be out of luck.
