Kim Kardashian’s Divorce Getting Ugly
For a couple that was only married for 72 days, the divorce proceedings
for Kim Kardashian and estranged husband Kris Humphries are taking a long time
to complete. The situation becomes even more inexplicable considering the
couple had a prenuptial
agreement.
Earlier this week, Humphries’ divorce lawyer argued in court
that the legal team for Kardashian has been holding up the discovery process. “I
don’t want to use the word uncooperative, but they are not making the process
easier,” said Humphries’ lawyer.
Kardashian’s lawyer refuted this claim, insisting that they have
been cooperative throughout the entire process. Additionally, Kardashian’s
divorce lawyers have already spent $250,000 on the case so far and plan to
recoup these costs from Humphries.
From day one, this has been a rather unusual divorce
proceeding. Humphries countered Kardashian’s request for a divorce with a
request for an annulment. He also accused Kardashian of defrauding him by going
through with their marriage strictly to garner TV ratings and additional
attention from the press.
Humphries’ lawyer plans to depose 33 witnesses, including
Kardashian’s mother and her current boyfriend, Kanye West. Humphries believes
Kardashian was having an affair with West during their marriage.
A 72 day marriage with a prenuptial agreement should
normally be relatively straightforward and resolve itself rather quickly.
However, nothing seems to go smoothly for Reality TV stars. Why should this
divorce be any different?
