TMZ Obtains Houston/Brown Separation Docs

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!

15. That is no way to talk about a child. A child that probably has seen her fair share of bad days. Whitney...you can do this...use that god-given talent that has been hiding for 14 years. It was good to see you out on the town at the awards show....keep up the good work....we are wishing you the best.
