LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren finalized their divorce yesterday, but speculation has already begun over the details about the former couples secret settlement.
According to divorce court papers obtained by Access Hollywood, the couple will share custody of both Sam, 3, and 18-month-old Charlie. The parents first announced they would co-parent when they released a statement to the media on Monday, following news of their split.

Divorce attorney Neal Hersh, who does not represent either party, told Access Hollywood that the agreement may even give Nordegren permission to take the children out of the country.
I wouldnt be surprised if, for example, she has the right to take them to Sweden in the summers, Christmas or for vacations or something like that, he said.
Nordegren has just the spot. She purchased a $2 million waterfront estate near Stockholm last year, which has since been renovated.

The divorce papers also indicate that the pair underwent parenting classes online, something Hersh said isnt unusual.
I dont know what the system is there, but obviously these are very high profile people and Im sure if there was a method to do it online that these two availed themselves of that, he said.

As for Nordegrens secret cash settlement, its speculated Woods payout to Nordegren is somewhere between $100 - $500M, figures reported by both NBCs Today show and CBS The Early Show.
CNBCs Darren Rovell was surprised to see British newspaper The Sun previously suggest a number as high as $750M.
Tigers total net worth is about a billion dollars, so to think shed get 75 percent of all the money hes earned over his 14-year professional career is mind-numbing and not possible, he told Access Hollywood. I dont expect the final money to be more than $100M.
Earlier this summer, Forbes debunked theories that the divorce settlement was worth $750M, as they estimate Woods is worth only around $600M.
Nordegrens silence is expected to be part of the agreement, but does that mean someone close to her could possibly tell her story instead? Rovell said that isnt likely.
Theres a lot of money on the line here for anyone who breaches the confidentiality of this settlement, and they will be hunted down, he told Access.
Rovell Twittered a jab at Woods newly single signature, posted on Woods website on Monday, noting that instead of Tiger Woods, it looked like the golfer wrote Single dude.
It pretty much did look like single dude with a couple scribbles in between, he pointed out.
