Ronnie Wood and Jo Wood have been granted a decree nisi.
Neither the Rolling Stone nor his estranged spouse were present at London's High Court earlier this week when the first stage of their legal separation was granted on grounds of the 62-year-old musician's adultery.
The couple, who wed in 1985, split up last year after Ronnie, 62, fled to Ireland with Russian cocktail waitress Ekaterina Ivanova, 20, for a drinking binge in July. He was expected to return to Jo, 54, after a stint in rehab in September. But he continued to see Ivanova after being treated for drugs, alcohol and sex addiction.
Earlier this year, Jo said she was "relieved" not to be with him any more.
She said: "I miss him, but now I have more time for me. I don't have to worry that I'm going to get home and he'll be drunk."
The couple's decree absolute - the final stage of their divorce - will be granted in six weeks.
