Khloe Kardashian refiles for divorce from Lamar Odom
Khloe Kardashian and her estranged husband Lamar Odom's divorce is back on.
The 31-year-old reality star split from the former professional basketball player in December 2013, and divorce proceedings began in July, 2015, but the sportsman was found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel and hospitalized last October (15), Khloe put the brakes on the legal part of their split and raced to be by his side as he recovered.
Khloe's lawyer, Laura Wasser, filed documents asking a judge to
withdraw the divorce papers, and the request was granted.
But Wasser was back in a Los Angeles court on Thursday (26May16),
refiling the divorce documents for her client, according to
TMZ.com.
In the papers obtained by the outlet, Khloe cited irreconcilable
differences, just as she did in the first divorce filing. Sources
tell TMZ the amicable exes worked out a property settlement the
first time around, and they had a pre-nuptial agreement in place as
well.
The former couple will now have to wait six months before the
divorce can be finalized.
Ever since Lamar's health scare, the two have remained close, and
Khloe is still upset about her failed marriage, insisting recently
she still doesn't like the word divorce.
In an essay for Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter, Khloe wrote, "I've been
blessed with a lot in my life, and I've also had challenges. It was
a challenge for me when I decided to get divorced. At my core, I
don't believe in divorce, but I came to a point in my marriage
where I had to make the choice to take care of my own mental and
emotional well-being in order to protect myself and my
happiness."
But Khloe is still open to the idea of remarrying Lamar in the
future - in a recent episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians,
she discussed the possibility or a second go at marriage while
traveling with Lamar, mom Kris Jenner, and other members of her
famous family. She said, "We're we're definitely getting out of
this marriage because it's been a little tainted."
