London: Kim Kardashian’s divorce attorney told a judge on Wednesday that the reality star wants to move on with her life but is “handcuffed” to her estranged husband Kris Humphries, as the case is not yet ready for trial.
Superior Court Judge Stephen Moloney told attorneys for Kardashian and NBA star Humphries to return to court in mid-February to set a trial date to either dissolve or annul the couple’s 72-day marriage, the Daily Mail reported.
He didn’t set a deadline for depositions and other pre-trial investigation to be completed, but indicated a trial could be held early next year if it is ready by February 15.
Humphries, a power forward for the Brooklyn Nets, is seeking an annulment based on fraud, but his attorney says he needs more time to collect documents from companies that handle Kardashian’s reality shows.
Kardashian is seeking a traditional divorce and her attorney Laura Wasser has cited both the marriage’s short duration and a prenuptial agreement as reasons for why it should be quickly resolved.
“I don’t think his client has a fraud case,” Wasser said in court of Humphries’ attorney.
“I think there’s a fishing expedition going on here,” she said.
Humphries’ attorney Marshall Waller said he needed to be sure he had documents from E! Entertainment and NBC Universal before deciding the scope of his case, but that he was narrowing it down.
“I do understand the desire to get this case moved,” Waller said.
“There’s nothing in particular about this case that makes it more important than anybody else,” he said.
Wasser however said that unlike in a regular divorce proceeding, Kardashian cannot have her marriage dissolved and resolve other issues later.
“Ms. Kardashian is now handcuffed to Mr. Humphries,” she said.
