in a lavish ceremony in Montecito, Calif. And while the E! star filed
to end the marriage after 72 days, the divorce proceedings continue to
drag on. Kardashian's attorney Laura Wasser and Humphries' attorney
Marshall Waller appeared before Judge Stephen Moloney on Wednesday
morning in Los Angeles Superior Court. Waller said he has so much
discovery request that he thinks it would be at least four months
before he's ready for trial, adding that Kardashian's side has not
been cooperative during the deposition/discovery process. "I don't
want to use the word uncooperative, but they are not making the
process easier," Waller told the judge. Waller said that, so far, he
has been able to serve depositions on Kris Jenner, but has been
unsuccessful obtaining Jenner's business records. "I'm not going to
depose Ms. Jenner until I get the business records," Waller stated.
"I'm trying to get information." Waller said he is seeking this
information to prove the marriage was a fraud and that Kardashian had
no intention of going through with the marriage. The attorney said
while he has served subpoenas on NBCUniversal, Bunim/Murray and Jenner
Communications, only NBC has responded, saying it might have a
warehouse of documents that fit the subpoena request. Waller also said
he has not only been trying to serve and depose Kardashian's
boyfriend, Kanye West, but plans to depose 33 witnesses in total.
Meanwhile, Wasser, Kardashian's lawyer, said she had been told that a
"strange individual outside my client's house was ringing the doorbell
and said he had a box for Mr. West." Wasser said when the individual
left a Nordstrom box at the door, inside was a deposition request for
West, adding that she did not understand why Waller tried to serve
West by sending a process server with a box to Kardashian's home when
Wasser said she would have gladly given them the name of West's
attorney. "To say I am frustrated is an understatement," said Wasser,
who outlined what she described as delays and nonresponsive behavior
on Humphries' side. She said her office has been more than
cooperative, even flying to Minnesota to depose Humphries. Wasser said
her office is also deposing Humphries' girlfriend in New York State on
Tuesday. Wasser went on to say that at this point Kardashian has
incurred $250,000 in attorney fees. "It's expensive," Wasser said.
"And I'm at a loss to figure out what the holdup is. They had a prenup
and were married 72 days." Wasser insisted she plans on making
Humphries pay the fees in the end. "We are going to ask for every cent
of those fees back from his client," Wasser informed the judge. "To
what end does he want this annulment?" Judge Moloney set the next
court date at Nov. 28 for a status conference. Kardashian filed for
divorce from Humphries on Oct. 31 to end the short union, citing
irreconcilable differences and noting in her papers there was a
prenuptial agreement. A month later, however, Humphries fired back,
requesting instead for a legal separation or an annulment and made no
mention of a prenup. Until a divorce is granted, the two are still
legally married.
