Maria Shriver has hired a high-profile celebrity divorce attorney in wake of her husband's love child scandal, according to a new report.

"Maria hasn't decided yet if she wants to end her marriage," one source told the magazine. Wasser was reportedly hired before the news of the affair went public.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Shriver, 55, split from her husband, actor/former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, 63, after he admitted to fathering a child with another woman.
A joint investigation between RadarOnline.com and Star Magazine was first to reveal that the woman is Mildred "Patty" Baena, a longtime housekeeper for the family.
In addition to Spears and Jolie, Wasser's other celebrity clients have included Ryan Reynolds, Christina Aguilera and Stevie Wonder.
