Sounds like the long-rumored divorce filing by Elin Nordegren Woods is rapidly approaching — and the settlement could approach $500 million.
A source close to golf superstar Tiger Woods' estranged wife reports the Swedish beauty has been in ‘‘round-the-clock’’ conversations with a battery of lawyers — both in her native Stockholm and in the United States, where she actually would file.

According to the source, Elin is mostly concerned about protecting her two kids' financial interests. She recently read a book about a very wealthy man whose children from first marriage got screwed out of their inheritance by their father — influenced by a second wife who wound up with the lion’s share of the money.
‘‘She’s really obsessed with that book,’’ said the Elin intimate, reporting the book is Empress Bianca, a novel that reportedly is a thinly veiled ficitionalization of international socialite Lily Safra, written by Princess Diana biographer Lady Colin Campbell.
Supposedly, the Woods divorce settlement would fall into the $500 million to $600 million range.
Elin Woods supposedly is concerned about ‘‘locking-in’’ specific times where she can live in Sweden with the couple’s two children.
Also, she is said to be serious about buying a U.S. home in the Scottsdale, Ariz., area. According to the source, Elin looks at that being a replacement for the home she currently shares with Tiger in Windemere, Florida — a place ‘‘that has way too many unhappy memories for her,’’ added the Elin friend.
