(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Arnold Schwarzenegger has hired a lawyer and is reportedly "moving forward" with his divorce.

The former action hero and his wife of 25 years Maria Shriver announced they had separated last month. Arnold later revealed he fathered a love child over ten years ago, with his admission causing the end of his marriage.

Shortly after the split Maria hired renowned attorney Laura Wasser, although she has not started divorce proceedings.

Last week there was speculation that lawyer Robert Kaufman would be working for Arnold, after the men were seen meeting. It's now been claimed Arnold has decided Bob is the right choice and is ready to officially end the union.

"Sources tell us... Kaufman's already been in touch with Maria's attorney, Laura Wasser - and we're told they are moving forward' with divorce negotiations," reports TMZ.

It's thought Arnold chose Robert as he's renowned for keeping divorces low-profile. Jennifer Aniston used the attorney when she split from ex-husband Brad Pitt, while Reese Witherspoon got in touch with him when she parted ways with Ryan Phillippe.

Last week, it was claimed Maria could be in line for a 155 million divorce settlement which would be one of the biggest in history. Arnold's wealth has been estimated as 310 million, of which she would be due half. (C) Cover Media
