Their case - Ciccone M L v Ritchie G S - is listed under the "quickie" divorce procedure.
Their decree nisi is due to be announced at 10am in Court 10 of the Principal Registry of the High Court's Family Division.
The couple are unlikely to attend the hearing in High Holborn, which is likely to last a matter of minutes.
A judge will grant the couple a preliminary divorce decree, or decree nisi.
After six weeks and a day they are likely to be granted a decree absolute - and the divorce will become final.
The showbiz couple announced last month they were splitting after almost eight years of marriage.
Billie praised for not taking cash
Ritchie has reportedly done a "Piper" - by refusing to take a penny of Madonna's estimated £300m fortune.
It is named after actress Billie Piper, who famously walked away from her marriage to Chris Evans without taking any of his cash.
Ritchie, who has had a successful career in his own right, is believed to be worth around £30m.
The couple's two boys - Rocco, eight, and three-year-old adopted David Band - will split their time between London and New York.
Lourdes, 12, Madonna's child from an earlier relationship, will remain with her.
According to the Evening Standard, the couple's two female lawyers Helen Ward and Fiona Shackleton have been working round the clock to hammer out a settlement.
Lady Ward, acting for Ritchie, was said to have have brought on board Stephen Cobb QC to negotiate where the children will live.
A source told the newspaper: "It's indicative of Ritchie's priorities that he brought in Stephen Cobb, who is a specialist children's QC.
"Put it this way, you wouldn't go for Cobb if you were after a huge financial settlement."
Mrs Shackleton represented Sir Paul McCartney in his high profile divorce from Heather Mills.
