Along with dividing the children, the bank accounts and the pets, divorce inevitably means dissolving the family home.

The bigger the fortune, the bigger the real estate fallout, and RadarOnline.com has photos inside some of the homes being fought over in Hollywood’s most acrimonious break ups, courtesy of our friends at Zillow.com.

Heidi Klum and Seal shocked both fans and celebrity divorce pundits alike last week when they announced they were ending their seven year marriage. At the crux of the property battle is a 12,300-sq foot Mediterranean mansion in L.A.’s Brentwood Country Estates which they picked up in foreclosure in 2010 for $14.2 million.

With 8 bedrooms, 9.5 bathrooms, a cigar room, domed library, wine room and a decadent outdoor  entertaining area with a pool, spa, rolling lawns and Italian rose gardens on an 8.5 acre estate, it is certainly worth fighting for in court.

Of course, his $400,000 Lamborghini was parked right outside.  Some things don't change.

Hot on the heels of news Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa are divorcing, one of Kim Kardashian's best friends, Carla DiBello, is being linked in unconfirmed reports to the Lakers superstar.

Not only are Kim and Carla close galpals, she is also a producer on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

Several websites have buzzed about DiBello, 27, being on very friendly terms with the 33-year-old millionaire athlete for the last couple of years.

Kim has been friends with DiBello for some time and in her capacity as producer on the shows has traveled around the world with Kim, including a recent trip to Dubai
.
Before becoming a reality television producer, Carla was director of strategic relations for SBE Group which owns a number of hotels and clubs in Hollywood favored by celebrities and athletes. She was also Steve Wynn’s assistant at his famed hotel casino in Las Vegas.

As RadarOnline.com reported, Kobe’s wife Vanessa called time on their marriage on Friday after 10 years and two children; Natalia, 8, and Gianna, 5.

A statement issued by the couple through a publicist requested privacy “during this difficult time" and said "the Bryants have resolved all issues incident to their divorce privately with the assistance of counsel and a Judgment dissolving their marital status will be entered in 2012," it read.

Vanessa infamously stood by her NBA champ husband during a high-profile scandal in which he was accused of sexually assaulting a worker at a Colorado hotel.
