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.
Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston

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.

61. To Whitney, I think you are doing the right thing, I am not saying it is all Bobbys fault, but ,from the way I see it is. You can sing your but off and make any one feel good inside. I just want to see you back the way you was, girl and you know you was good, and still is.

63. Whitney,

May God continue to be your refuge and strength. I pray nothing but the best for you and "your" family. Remember *negative is what negative does (nothing)*, those people that speak negative energy in your direction are the "nothings" I refer to.

No one has the right to play judge or jury in anyone's situation, it is up to those of us that truly want what's best for you to be there and support you (in good times & bad). Always look toward the hills is which comes your help, the Lord is so good, he never forsakes us nor leaves us, we abandon him when we stray away, but what GLORY it is when he hears our cries.

God knows what we can bare and when our suffering is too much. All we have to do is call on him in our time of need, and he does answer our prayers (if we only open our spirits to listen). I am so thankful to the Lord that you reached out to him for help.

What the enemy meant to try and destroy you God turned your situation around to bring him Glory. Your come back is a "testimony" for so many people, whether some one has been battling drugs, abuse, or even going through a divorce, I truly feel that you have inspired some one to make that positive step toward their destiny as you have done. I wish you all the best in your "REBIRTH", my ears are awaiting to hear the Angelic voice GOD blessed you with!!!!!

67. She was the most obnoxious and rude person when she was rich and riding high. Arrogant and so into herself. It's nice to see how fast she fell. I believe she will get her just due. Why can't rich people be like Sammy Davis and not forget the fans that make you; Whitney, now you are getting what you deserve--a taste of reality.

68. I hope Whitney does file for custody of Bobbi Kristina. "The wise old owl" said Bobby is the lesser of two evil. I would prefer the one who has been successfully rehabilitated through rehab, over the one who hasn't. Also, when has Bobby ever shown interest in having custody of ANY of his children.

Best wishes to Whitney! I hope that she not only get control of her financial and career affairs, but that she STAYS CLEAN.

Whitney, you can do it, girl. GOD believes in you.

69. Stay in Prayer on your journey back Whitney, you may have a lot of haters out there, but for every hater there's 2 prayers who love you and will help pray you and your daughter through this difficult time, as I am one of them.
There was a time when no one could stand in my presence and say a bad word about, nor towards Whitney. They would get royally cursed out , if not hit. I had to see for myself, i.e. Being Bobby Brown, before I would believe the rumors about Whitney and drugs. I actually hate that that show aired, as I am sure you are too. It took away from me my childhood idol, Cinderella's fiary god-mother, Rachel Marron, Savannah, and Julia, and I'm glad she's about to make her presence known once again. Bless you and yours, Whitney.

71. Whitney,

Everyone is judging you and telling you cruel things. But, there are some people who is praying for you as well.

Don't judge Whitney unless you can walk a mile in her shoes.

I am praying for you and your family be strong.

Pray and Go with God. Always keep him in your heart no matter what and you will surely come out fine.

God Bles you with your recover and your divorce.
