May Trial for Kardashian-Humphries Divorce

 Posted on March 05, 2013 in Divorce

In a recent article in the Chicago Tribune, the divorce of reality star Kim Kardashian and NBA basketball player Kris Humphries will go to trial in May. More than a year and half after the couple had decided to separate and file for divorce. On February 15^th, a judge in Los Angeles ruled that the trial would be in May.

The celebrity couple had an elaborate wedding, in August 2011, that was filmed for TV. The couple called it quits after only 72 days of marriage. Kardashian filed the divorce stating irreconcilable differences. They have been having difficulties with agreeing on the divorce terms. Humphries has insisted on an annulment claiming that Kardashian never intended on keeping the marriage. Kardashian began dating rapper Kanye West last April and is now pregnant with her first child. The divorce will be Kardashian’s second. She was previously married to Damon Thomas, a music producer. They wed in 2000 and divorced after 4 years, in 2004.

The trial for her second divorce will be May 6^th, set by Los Angeles County Judge Stephen Moloney. Kardashian and Humphries are both required to attend the court date and they must also be present for the pretrial hearing on April 12^th. Most Hollywood divorces are settled through negotiation rather than a trial because of publicity. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who filed for divorce last year, took only two weeks to settle their divorce and kept the financial and personal details private.
