After months of rumors concerning discord in the couple's marriage, reality star Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband, NBA player Lamar Odom on December 13, 2013. According to sources close to Kardashian, the decision to seek a divorce from Odom was a recent one, reached after months of holding out hope that the relationship would improve.
Kardashian and Odom wed in 2009 after dating for only one month. Although many critics speculated that the marriage would be short lived due to such a short courtship, the couple seemed to be beating the odd until reports began to surface earlier this year concerning Odom's alleged affairs and drug addiction. Those close to Odom report that he is not surprised by Kardashian's decision to seek a divorce, and wishes for the process to go quickly and smoothly.
Although it may be difficult to fathom a divorce quickly and smoothly between two well know celebrities, court records may indicate that Odom's wishes may not be that farfetched. Several popular celebrity new sources have reported that in her court filings, Kardashian is seeking a divorce on the ground of irreconcilable difference, she is seeking the restoration of her maiden name, she is not seeking any spousal support and she is asking the court to deny any request for support made by Odom. There seems to be no other substantial issues to be determined by the court in the divorce as the couple does not have children together and the couple entered into a comprehensive prenuptial agreement prior to their marriage. If these early reports are at all indicative of how the Kardashian v. Odom divorce will end, it seems like this will be one of the more serene celebrity divorces.
