The multi-millionaire is accused of cutting up her credit cards and changing the locks to their £10.5 million Florida home to try to pressure her into an agreement after more than a year of squabbling.

While Norman, 52, is pictured travelling around the world with new girlfriend, tennis legend Chris Evert, 52, Mrs Norman, 57, says she has been left with no means to support herself. Norman has denied the claim.

Rough time: Greg Norman, wife Laura and Chris Evert

This is the latest dramatic turn in the long-running divorce - and comes just as it seemed to be reaching an amicable end.

The couple's legal teams announced they had all but reached an agreement in June.

But the apparent settlement had only come after Mrs Norman's attorneys threatened to drag squeakyclean-Evert into the affair.

It is believed that Mrs Norman was set to get around half of her husband's fortune, estimated to be worth up to £250million.

According to papers just filed by Mrs Norman's attorneys, Norman is now trying to coerce her into signing an altered version of the settlement by using dirty tricks.

They say her credit cards have been her only access for money to pay for daily living expenses as there has been no alimony agreement yet.

"She now has no means of support," they said.

Norman is "attempting to starve her out so she has no choice but to surrender to his positions," they added.

Norman's attorney, Martin L Haines, laughed off claims he had cut off Mrs Norman's money.

"I would say she is spending as she wishes and vacationing as she wants," he said.

"Let's just say she does not meet the Webster's dictionary definition of impoverished."

He said Mrs Norman's claims were "nasty" and and an attempt to cast Norman in a bad light.
