Whitney and Bobby's Divorce Finalized

Posted Apr 5th 2007 8:45AM by TMZ Staff

Whitney Houston and Bobby BrownIt's pretty much all over -- including the crying -- for Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's marriage.

An Orange County judge granted Houston a divorce yesterday, and sole custody of their 14-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina. In the ten-minute hearing, Judge Franz Miller ruled that the divorce would become final on April 24.

In court, Houston testified, as the AP reports, that Brown was an unreliable father. "If he says he's going to come, sometimes he does. Usually he doesn't," she told the judge.

Houston wept as the decision was announced, and did not talk to reporters afterwards. Brown didn't show up for the hearing. The couple has been married since 1992, and Houston filed for a legal separation last September. Brown's attorney says he will seek to overturn the judge's ruling.

12. Not that Whitney's a great example of a person or mom, but Bobby just further stereotypes black men as unable to be responsible husbands and fathers. He's a scumbag for abandoning his child.

14. Hey Whitney
Im glad your finally getting closure in this situation. We the public have watched you become one of the most sensational women of your time...Through it all you stayed real and kept getting back up...Or as they say in AA Keep coming Back...lol
In any event i must say that it takes balls to be as open and non contaminated by the media's well covered knowledge of your drug and family problems. You truly are an inspiration
I know that it must be hard to try to let go of someone you have spent most of your adult life with regardless of good or bad times...The truth is that no matter what you two will always love and care for each other...
So keep up the good decision making...sometimes LOVE is crazy....Just love yourself first : )

15. Ummm...overturn the ruling? Oh Bobby, you silly boy. There was a default judgment back in Dec., I believe. How exactly does one overturn a judge's ruling when you apparently just ignore the action and hope it'll go away? And we know you were aware she filed for the divorce?

Duh.
