Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren finalized their divorce Monday less than a year after the golfer’s secret cheating life was exposed.

Elin was the plaintiff and her three-page petition was filed and executed Monday by Judge Judy Biebel in Bay County Circuit Court in Panama, Florida. It was filed shortly after noon and cost $397.50, a pittance compared to the tens of millions of dollars at stake in the settlement.

The divorce documents state the marriage is “irretrievably broken.”

In a joint statement issued through their lawyers on Monday, the couple said: "We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future.

"While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us."

RadarOnline.com learned exclusively that Elin canceled a planned vacation in late July. Her parents and sister have visited in recent months, lending emotional support to her.

“The past few weeks Elin has not been in a good mood,” a source close to her told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “But she seemed to come out of it recently.”

Tiger has a mansion in Jupiter, Florida which is almost completed and may be his new home.

Tiger and Elin are parents to Sam and Charlie.

Financial terms of the divorce were not disclosed. Tiger has been living in the Orlando-area home that the couple once shared. Elin has been living in a rented house approximately one mile away.       

One of the battlegrounds of the divorce was the possibility that Elin would move back to Sweden with their children.

The marriage exploded after Tiger’s affair with Rachel Uchitel was exposed. After the National Enquirer published a report detailing Tiger’s secret rendezvous with Uchitel in Australia late last year, more than 10 women came forward claiming to have had affairs with the golfing legend.

But, as RadarOnline.com was first to report, when Tiger announced his return to the pro golf tour Elin was furious and believed that he was not serious about changing his life. Their relationship went downhill quickly.

“Elin and Tiger had been having dinner together, and things were looking up but when Tiger went back to golf, it was over,” the source said.

Elin took several overnight trips without Tiger and stopped talking to him months ago.

They focused on their children and said:"Once we came to the decision that our marriage was at an end, the primary focus of our amicable discussions has been to ensure their future well-being. The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them as we adjust to a new family situation, which is why our privacy must be a principal concern."
