Kim Kardashian Divorce: Plans To Block Kris Humphries' Bid For Spousal Support

Kris Humphries was reportedly shocked to learn that Kim Kardashian, his wife of 72 days, had filed for divorce.

"I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce ... I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work," the NBA star told TMZ.

But is it the split that's getting Humphries down, or Kardashian's plan to deny her ex spousal support?

According to divorce docs filed by Kardashian Monday, the reality starlet asked the court to reject any request by Humphries for spousal support. She also asked that both parties cover their own legal fees.

The couples assets will be divided in accordance with their prenup. According to Us Weekly, the prenup protects all of Kardashian's assets prior to the marriage (the Kardashians pulled in $65 million last year alone), and she will also keep everything she earned during their short union.

By contrast, Humpries -- who is currently unemployed due to the NBA lockout -- reportedly makes around $3.2 million a year.

Kardashian has retained celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has represented Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, and Kiefer Sutherland in their splits, among many others. It's unclear if Humphries has retained counsel yet, but we wouldn't be surprised if he opted to be represented by one of these other celebrity divorce lawyers:

i think a good lawyer will get that pre-nup thrown out because of the short amount of time and fact she most likely had alternative motives seeing as she was handsomely rewarded so much for the reporting of their wedding

I'm normally a pro-chick-guy in most things because women don't get the same breaks men do but in this case I'll break ranks and say, go dude, stick it too her. Your pride and humiliation does have a cost. You were nothing more than a prop like a mink coat or Mercedes.

"It's good to be the lawyer"...you would imagine these pillars of morality would have sex BEFORE the nuptuals..."Let's see, nothing to do the next couple of months, I know, let's have a wedding !"...Never thought I'd take Kim's side on anything, she's so valley-girl, but that Kris dude is one, BORING fellow...I think Cheney does a more exciting interview..

either way...maybe the greedy be-octch should give the ring back...but she won't because it's real

I find it hard to feel sorry for the guy, he knew what he was getting into so he can't start playing victim here. Problem is they were both focused on the wedding not the marriage.

He was surprised that she had filed for divorce? What? They didn't even discuss it?

Only in a culturally flat-lined society can jokes like Kim Kardashian be famous. I was wondering who would out-do Britney Spears. It guess I've found the answer.

Let’s hope that at least Kris Humphries gets a slight windfall to his name as his soon to be ex wife continues her world wide quest to court love, adulation and a pay packet at any means possible. Such are the affairs of insufferable fools who believe their own lies. Or do they?

i suspect she got wind of statements he may have said not in her presence as to why he married her. The deed was unusually swift and final. She found out something bad. Famous people rarely find true love. They are, well, too famous and too loaded$.

I highly doubt thtat's the situation... She made loads of money and threw him away like a dirty rag.

She was out with her former boyfriend, Reggie, over the weekend.

Kim's no victim and no fool. She's all about herself and the dollar signs.

Hey Kim! Please forward my cell# to Kris. I promise not to take up too much of his time. I'm sure it would be fun to hookup with him for 72 days or so.

Girl, just pay that boy for all his pain and suffering.

Right? Or at least give him back the ring but I doubt she'll do that.

Wow, Kim Kardashian is a smart business woman to get a prenup -- We women have to protect ourselves first and foremost, even if we [feel] that we are passionately in love.

WOW! Kim is going to make a fortune off this seasons divorce episode! The video footage alone will probably take two or three bank vaults to hold.

Oh God Kris make her pay. She lied to you. You did nothing wrong. What she put you and your family through is not right. She should not be able to do this to someone. She lied to you. Hire the best attorney and take her for all she has. She does not deserve true love. Don't let her make you look like a joke. Get it all.
