Kim Kardashian wants divorce finalized before giving birth

Kim Kardashian hasn't been talking as much these days, but she is speaking out about the dissolution of her marriage to Kris Humphries. The reality television star recently filed a petition with the courts, requesting a speedy process in finalizing her divorce from Kris that began last year after just three months of marriage.

"I do not want to be married to [Humphries] when I have my baby," explained Kardashian. "Immediately upon it becoming known to the public that I was pregnant...I began to see articles in the media with quotes attributed to [Humphries] stating that now that I am pregnant he has 'got all the power,' 'that he is in control of my misery' and that he is not going 'to allow' me to be divorced by the time I have my baby. I am requesting the status of my marriage be determined now for not only my health and welfare but also for the health and well-being of my unborn child."

The star added, "I firmly believe that an immediate dissolution of our marriage will help create a new, full life for me. One chapter will be officially over, and a new one can begin. The same should hold true for [Humphries]."

Kim is pregnant with her and Kanye West's first child together. The couple have been in courtship for several months.
