Kris Humphries Wants $7 Million From Kim Kardashian, But Skips Court Hearing
Posted on Fri Apr 12th, 2013 11:50am PDT By X17 Staff
Kim Kardashian barely made it to her divorce settlement hearing on time today after her driver accidentally took her to the wrong courthouse, but Kris Humphries didn't even bother to show up!
Both parties had been ordered to appear, and while Humphries' legal team was present, the NBA star reportedly claimed that there was "a delay or cancellation of sorts with his scheduled flight to Los Angeles," according to E! News. It's not clear whether Humphries phoned in to court or not, but if he didn't have permission to do that, the website reports that he could be held in contempt of court.
Judge Hank Goldberg moved to close the court and exclude the media, explaining that "the nature of settlement and settlement conferences under the evidence code are confidential."
The purpose of today's meeting was to see if a settlement could be reached before the case went to trial, but apparently neither party wants to budge. Kardashian filed for divorce from Humphries in October 2011 after 72 days of marriage, but he wants an annulment based on fraud and $7 million. Kim is asking that Humphries pay her legal bills, and earlier this week, the reality TV starlet's lawyers filed their witness list for the upcoming trial, which is set for May 6.
