Whitney and Bobby's Divorce Finalized

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.

62. Yes, It is about time that Whitney gets away from Bobby. I know she loved him so much and it must be so hard on her even though he corrupted her. She's a big girl and is accountable for her own actions and she knows it. She is strong... a LEO. She will plow through this life will be good. A good gospel album and a christmas album would be ideal for her as well as hanging out with one of her best friends.. CeCe . I have to hand it to her though... she loved and stuck by that man longer than she should have. It was her business but the fact that she was/is so famous compromised her privacy and her laundry clean and or dirty was all over the place. I wish her the best. Even though her divorce will be final on the 24th.. she is going to go through so much. I as a huge fan, wish her the best. I want the old Whitney back.. she's is there somewhere. :-)

64. she ought to try to get off the drugs if shes on them and he ought to have stood behind her too. not an easy thing but not easy if no support either. the bible says if you dont care about your own flesh and blood you are worse than an unbeliever. hey dont we have too many uncaring fathers in this world that call themselves fathers but are they doing their job??? and how many abusive and tear their woman down and dont take a fair share of their responsibility. this country is FULL of them................then they want to look down at the woman. he should have taken all credit cards from her and tell her he is handling the money if she wants to stay married. they say if you hand a drug addict a credit card it is like handing a four year old a credit card. if he really loved her this is what he should have done even have her watched or in rehab twenty four hours if nec. is not impossible.

66. I've loved you from the very first time I saw you. You live on Dodd Street in that house with the pool. I lived on Cottage place right around the corner. I am sure that you remember the old McDonalds. "I will always love you". Keep God first. I am sure that I will see you in New Hope Baptist. Come and visit us again at St Luke AME - We always welcome you.

Love Bill

67. I just want to pray for the Brown family. Because whether you are with him or not you two will always be apart of each other. That is what having a child with someone does.

I have prayed for you and I will continue to pray for you. The only thing I ask is that you do not try to make hip hop music. You are just way to good for that. Leave that mess to the likes of Beyonce.

You are not her and she could never be you. You have a God given voice. She has a voice that can be found in any black church through out America.

You can look back only if you are looking back as a reflectin and learning from your mistakes.

We all fall for me we love that are not necessarily good for us. The trick is to get out somewhat sane.

69. Hello Whitney,

Often times we go through challenges in life. However; it is apparent that you never lost your sight of what has always kept you on top; which is God. Now, it is time to get closure to this divorce and move forward with your life. It will take a lot of prayer and strength but you'll make it.

70. I am glad for both. I think it had simply been a destructive relationship for both for a long time. Nobody forced Whitney to use drugs. Nobody forced Bobby to be an alcoholic. Bobby didn't give us as much as Whitney, for sure. But Bobby has talent. If he'd just remember where he left it. That boy can dance! He could tune up that voice of his, get in shape and stage his own comeback. That is, if he hasn't burned too many bridges to do so. Hey, they can still be friends. They've got 14 years together. It's not like it doesn't mean anything to either one of them anymore. Come on! I was married for nine years. My wife and I are still quite good friends. In total were together for 11 years. You don't just forget like that. Especially if you've got kids. The best to both of them.

71. Hey Whitney,
next time you want to do charity work, volunteer at a shelter. Don't bring home the work.
