Arnold and Maria Still Married After 7-Year Divorce Case
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver may get in the Guinness Book of World Records, because they just crossed the 7-year mark in their divorce case with no end in sight.
Maria filed for divorce July 1, 2011 ... this after she learned Arnold fathered a child -- Joseph Baena -- with their housekeeper.
There was never any real custody beef ... of their 4 kids, two were minors at the time -- 17-year-old Patrick and 13-year-old Christopher -- and they both quickly agreed on joint custody. Well, Christopher's now 20, so there hasn't even been a theoretical custody issue for years.
As for a property settlement ... we reported at the time there was a pot of around $400 million to split. The couple, that reportedly started dating in 1982 and married in 1986, did not have a prenup.
Sources connected to Arnold and Maria say there were bumps along the way in hammering out a settlement but, since the split is 50/50, there are no serious roadblocks.
Our sources say Arnold has not shown interest in making the divorce final. As for Maria, she's waffled ... sometimes pushing for a divorce but other times just letting it ride. Everyone we've spoken with says Arnold and Maria are not getting back together ... yet, when push comes to shove, they both seem unwilling to pull the trigger.
After 7 years, there's a real possibility the divorce isn't going to happen ... ever.

Ashanti didn't know her ex-bf, Nelly, had cut ties with his dad after she shared a video of herself hanging backstage with him, but she's hoping father and son will reconcile.
We got Ashanti Thursday at LAX and asked her if she thought her hang with Nelly's dad is what made the rapper publicly eviscerate his pops. She seemed shocked when we told her about the fallout from her video.
The word father is strong word.. something I never knew anything about as a child because mine never did what he had todo only what he wanted... “HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT POPS IM DONE WITH YA NO MORE MONEY FROM ME” LET THEM PAY YA BILLS..!!
@Nelly_Mo
Ashanti told us she hopes the rift isn't because of her, but it seems pretty clear, based on the timing ... it is.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
She and Nelly dated for a decade, but broke up more than 3 years ago ... so you'd think they would've moved on by now.
Ashanti brushed off the controversy by explaining her intentions, and also gave us some 411 on her joint LP with Ja Rule ... which sounds like it's going to be huge.
