While the Jon and Kate Plus 8 Season 5 opener made it seem like the prospect of the Gosselins' divorce was still ambiguous at this point, sources are saying that the reality TV stars are much closer to a nasty split -- and that their separation will lead to a fight on how to divvy up a $10 million estate.

Sources close to the family supposedly told the National Enquirer (OK, admittedly not the most reliable source) that both Jon and Kate have met with "high-powered lawyers" without each other's knowledge, and that they want this all to happen fast:

"Jon said their goal is to be legally separated by July 15 because Kate wants to move on quickly," an insider told The ENQUIRER.

Another insider also told the tabloid that there's a "small fortune at stake here -- easily $10 million" and that "Jon and Kate will be fighting over it like cats and dogs!"

If that $10 million fortune is accurate, perhaps they're making more money than previously thought. No matter what's going on, after racking up 9.8 million viewers last week, America will definitely be tuning in to watch it all play out.
