It's not the shortest marriage on record, but few have gotten as much media coverage from start to finish. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries have put all rumors to rest. They're reportedly getting divorced. Some lawyers in Pennsylvania who specialize in simple, uncontested divorce may be inclined to speculate whether proceedings to finalize the divorce will take longer than the marriage lasted.

The high visibility couple tied the knot just 72 days ago. The reality TV personality and NBA player exchanged their vows in a ceremony that was spotlighted by the media in a way some pundits described as being on par with the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

According to the flurry of stories being generated now, Kardashian lists today as the official date of separation. She reportedly cites "irreconcilable differences," as the reason for the split. As late as last week, members of the Kardashian family were denying that there was anything to the gossip that the marriage was on the skids.

One source tells PEOPLE magazine that Kardashian had been looking for a fairytale situation, but that the couple just couldn't handle the pressure of life in front of a camera. Documents related to the filing indicate that Kardashian is insisting that each side pay their own legal fees. She also has asked the court to block any attempt on his part to get alimony.  In Pennsylvania, alimony would likely not be awarded after such  brief marriage.  Here, many factors come into play where alimony is concerned, nearly all of them financial; however, in a simple, uncontested no-fault divorce, alimony is seldom an issue. However, where it is, the parties must agree on it in advance and it must be in writing and part of the final decree.

The couple reportedly does have a prenuptial agreement. Whether that will streamline the proceedings in reaching a final settlement is likely the source of some debate in some quarters.
