Kris Humphries 'files for annulment on the grounds of fraud'

Kris Humphries leaves the Post House with a friend after eating dinner in New York City.
Kris Humphries has reportedly applied to annul his 72-day marriage to Kim Kardashian on the grounds of fraud.

The NBA star, whose estranged wife Kim filed for divorce last month, has apparently now submitted his own papers. He has asked instead for an annulment which could signal the start of a lengthy court battle between the two.

"There's a clear conflict if one spouse is seeking a divorce, but the other wants an annulment," family law attorney Scott Weston, who is not involved in the case, told People magazine. "A judge will have to decide which to allow, which could take many months."

But an insider said Kim might actually welcome Kris’s decision.

"She always wanted an annulment but attorneys were against it so she's happy that both parties agree now," said the source.

Kris is said to have marked the box labelled ‘fraud’ as the reason for the annulment, citing October 31 as the official date of separation.

Does annulling for fraud mean Humphries would potentially be able to sue for damages ?

More clowns, just like the Republican nominees. What's in the water in the US lately anyway?

PR stunt. How can he claim fraud when he actually married her and had sex with her for several months? People marry for all sorts of reasons, not just "love".

Not to mention which if California is similar to those states with which I am familiar. Even if you have a good case for annulment you are still probably better advised to just go for no-fault divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences it will cost less money in the end.

In this case since they both have access to real $$$$$ it may be that "I was wronged" will win over "the cost of fighting is the the same as giving her what she wants and in the end we still are going to be splitsville."
