TMZ Obtains Houston/Brown Separation Docs

Posted Sep 13th 2006 7:50PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained the court documents filed by Whitney Houston seeking a legal separation from her husband of 14 years Bobby Brown.

The documents were filed Friday September 8 in Orange County Superior Court. Houston's rep confirmed to TMZ that the Grammy award-winning singer will officially file for divorce next month. The documents do not reveal Whitney's intentions with respect to custody of the couple's daughter Bobbi Kristina.

Houston has high-powered celebrity divorce attorney Stephen Kolodny to represent her. Kolodny has been involved in epic divorce battles, though it is unclear how that bodes for Whitney and Bobby.

1. Oh gosh. Let's hope that Whitney isn't planning on filing for custody of her daughter. For sure Bobby is the lesser of the two evils at this stage in the game.

. With her history of drug abuse, ( some of them documented on tape )there isn't a judge who would grant her full custody. It will be joint custody at best. I am sure they will put the interest of the child first

2. Whitney ... I don't blame Bobby for your current condition and I'm sure you don't either. But ... he contributed and it's hard to get out of rehab while going back to the same habit (i.e. people around you who do drugs). This is a blessing. If you mean it ... stay gone if you want to get better. You can't get out of rehab and go home to people doing drugs ... it won't work! God speed girl. God speed.

4. This is Whitney's way of telling Bobby that he's so 1992.

5. You go girl. Drop the ball and chain, get into rehab, then get into the studio and make some music. A lot of people are pulling for you.

6. I am surprised that it took Whitney Houston 14 years to wake up, and get out of this marriage.

7. I have nothing bad to say about Ms Houston Or Mr Brown. I just hope both of them will be civil to one another because they do have a daughter- who by the way has been through enough. I do wish them the best. However I think both of them need to go into rehab for 6 months!

14. I AM SO GLAD THAT WHITNEY IS FINALLY GOING TO GET OUT OF THAT UNHEALTHY MARRIAGE. I JUST HOPE THAT SHE DON'T CHANGE HER MIND AND TAKE HIM BACK. I'M SURE PART OF HER DECISION TO FILE FOR A DIVORCE IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT KEPT TELLING HER HOW SELF DESCTRUCTIVE SHE HAD BECOME AND HOW BOBBY WAS A BAD INFLUENCE IN HER LIFE.WHITNEY HAS TWO SIDES TO HER. SHE HAS A WILD SIDE AND SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL AND SPIRITUAL SIDE. BOBBY HELPED BRING OUT THE WILD SIDE IN WHITNEY. I HOPE THAT THE DIVORCE IS CIVIL AND THEY DO WHATEVER IS BEST FOR BOBBI CHRISTINA. AND THEN MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, WHITNEY WILL STOP THE SELF DESTRUCTION AND CLEAN UP HER ACT AND GET BACK IN THE STUDIO AND COME BACK TO THE WHITNEY THAT THE WORLD KNOWS AND LOVES. IT COULD HAPPEN, BECAUSE SHE HAS ALREADY MADE THE FIRST STEP BY FILING FOR DIVORCE. WE NEED HER BACK WHILE SHE'S STILL FAIRLY YOUNG, BECAUSE SHE HAS SO MUCH TO GIVE AND A GIFTED AND TALENTED PERSON LIKE THAT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE.

15. FINALLY.

It's about time. Whitney, you are still young and it's not too late to get back to who you are.

Thoughts and prayers go out to you as you make this transition.
