The New York based model had a fling with Jude over the Christmas period last year and was given a gift by Jude that will keep giving and giving (in monthly installments).
Burke, who has confirmed she is the woman in question, has called on some high flying lawyers to make sure she never has to work again her baby is properly provided for.
A statement from her lawyers said: "Ms. Burke can confirm that she did in fact have a relationship with Mr. Law and that she has informed Mr. Law that she is expecting his child later this fall. Since informing Mr. Law of the pregnancy, he has been nothing but responsive and supportive of Ms. Burke and the pregnancy."
But it looks like that support will have to come with the smell of filthy lucre.
A source told The Sun:
"Jude is in for a seriously tough time.
"He's accepted he's the father and promised to do everything he can as a father. But the family in New York want it in writing.
"There is a high-powered lawyer in the girl's family getting involved and Jude is terrified he will be cleaned out. Her family are also furious he's had his way and disappeared back to Britain.
"The girl wants a large maintenance payment and financial costs, including a percentage of Jude's future earnings, agreed in writing."
Which means that we could be in line for a whole load of shonky films like Guy Ritchie's probably awful Sherlock Holmes to come. Thanks, Sam.

I wonder if she'll call the kid 'meal ticket'. Or maybe 'free lunch'.
Moneygrabbing slapper.
She certainly scrubs up well.
And what more (money)loving environment could there be to welcome the child into the world...
Get yours.
thanks for that witty and razor sharp interjection. Please feel free to sally forth with any other similar words of wisdom. Or not.
Christ, is this what's passing as attractive to the "stars" these days? didn't anyone tell him you can find better than this at Lidl?
24?????????
Is that in dog years?
KERCHINGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!!!
Monday morning January 2010 - Jeremy Kyle show - I f------ an A lister- is it really his child ?...................... Skanky slut
He must have been fucking pissed to have tupped that. Finny gets it on the money - better class of tart in the local Lidl's. She must be laughing her fucking tits off - payday in about 7 or 8 months... Jude Law you stupid twat
But it still begs the question- why has he admitted paternity at this stage? I have , however , had the privilege to have met him in the Lewisham Tescos- back in the day- when he was shopping with his dad, and he asked me TWICE if I wanted to go before him. I declined because I was momentarily star struck- ( o.k- its not too embarrassing to admit that I watched Family Affairs- is it? )
Lovely lad- i'd do him xx
His forehead takes two hours to view it in its entirety. You could watch a film on it. Like being at the IMAX cinema.
I think she is quite attractive. But if she is 24 then so am I.
