Jessica and Nick -- Divorce Final

Jessica Simpson, Nick LacheyTMZ has obtained court documents that seal the deal on Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's divorce.

The papers, filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, officially end their three-and-a-half year marriage.

As TMZ first reported, Jessica and Nick agreed to end the marriage immediately, but deal with their financial dispute at a later date.

Sources tell us that Jessica has offered Nick $1.5 million to walk away from the marriage, even though under California law Nick would be entitled to half the fortune the couple amassed during their marriage.

76. What I think is sad is that when Nick and Jessica met, he was the cash cow. He had more fortune than she did when they married. Then, with the success of "The Newlyweds" and her clothing and beauty lines, she became the breadwinner, and he supported everything she did. For her to allegedly offer him $1.5 million to "walk away" when she reportedly made over $30 million in 2005 alone, is a slap in the face to Nick. California laws states he's entitled to half the assests and finances collected during the marriage, and I think he deserves every cent. Apparently her daddy is giving her legal advice.

77. She is on the fast track to freak status. Her anchor to some sense of normalcy has been cut. Soneone take out the trash, please.

79. They were a cute couple. She is way too old to be playing daddys girl, too silly and shallow to be a serious contender.

81. jessica and ashlee are not fake!! That was really rude to bash them like that! Everyone is at least "fake" once in their life...and ur definitely shady and a jacka** for bashing them like that...bash urself!! ur just jealous of them. And nick will be fine...he'll find someone that will make his dreams come true...and i thought that they made a great couple...but apparently it wasn't in their destiny to be together. Don't worry jess and nick you'll both find happiness and a family someday. Best wishes to both of you.

82. In my opion, I think they made a cute couple. I like both of them. The true problem in their relationship was probably no privacy (from public and yes probably even family). The thing is that nobody truely knows what happens behind closed doors. I don't envy celebrities. You figure your whole life is out there for the public to see. It is hard enough with the normal relationship problems, but to have the public eye watching your every move. I couldn't do it. I love my husband and trust me I wouldn't leave him for the world, but it wouldn't be easy either. You always have somebody claiming you are be unfaithful. As long as you have faith and trust in the one you are with you can get through anything I believe. In relationship there are always test. I wish both of them luck in their life and their careers.

83. She was a kid following her parent's advice. If you can't trust your own father, who can you trust. Most of us would do the same if in her shoes. The divorce is good because she is coming into her own. It's her money--regardless of how blonde stupid and spoiled she appears via the media. women are always more scruntized and judged harshly more than the men (they can get away w/ anything)
Moving from your daddy's house to having a husband who also treats you like a child. Come on! It was time to grow and take control of her life. Why should people be so hateful? Nick won't do so much better than we all think. The breakup helped boost his career- what was he doing when she was getting offers??? This separation/divorce made people sympathize he got the attention he needed. Most of us had bad breakups and others never hear the real truth. This definitity applies

84. I think that these youngsters were headed for trouble from the beginning. The father held the strings from the beginning. I feel sorry for Nick and sorrier for Jessica. Her father, the preacher, thinks that it is fine to manage his daughter who covorts around with hardly any clothes on. I'm ashamed for him. He paraded her virginity around like it was for sale. Nick was a pawn. He was there to make her look better. He was in a boy band, and really didn't count in the scheme of things. That poor Jessica did not know how to wash dishes. I think that the father loves money and he has used his daughters to make his fortune. For shame!!!Jessica is a deer in the headlights. She will realize her mistake very late. And hopefully, blame her father.

86. What is important here is that Jessica's sister, Ashlee bought herself a new face.
Had never seen a pop star as homely as that one was.
Good luck with your new face Ashlee!
You needed it!

88. I'm so tired with being bombarded with triteness involving oppositional-sex marriages that carry a 54% divorce rate! I don't even call that marriage. By the way, for Bible-stomping Bush supporters everywhere, same-sex marriage in Massachusetts has a 0% divorce rate. It may not have glitter or the hype of hetero unions, but it's proof of lasting forever makes for much better news than this garbage.
