Horrible Father Allen Iverson Has Some Very Sobering Conditions Tied To His Divorce Settlement

Allen Iverson is officially free of Tawanna Iverson, his now ex-wife and mother of his five kids, but not before the judge dropped the hammer on The Answer. In addition to signing off on the divorce, the Atlanta family court judge added some exceptionally harsh words in the final decree, basically calling the former NBA star a terrible father:
“[Iverson] does not know how to manage the children; has little interest in learning to manage the children and has actually, at times, been a hindrance to their spiritual and emotional growth and development.
For example, he has refused to attend to an obvious and serious alcohol problem, which has caused him to do inappropriate things in the presence of the children while impaired.
He has left the children alone without supervision. He has left his young daughters in a hotel room with men who are unknown to the mother.”
Using those words as ammunition, the judge awarded Tawanna legal and physical custody of the kids, granting visitation to A…

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Stay Married, Wife of Lakers Star Drops Divorce

Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa continue to be married, and will remain so for quite some time after the divorce petition by Mrs. Bryant was reportedly dropped. 

TMZ reports Vanessa Bryant has decided to stay married to the Lakers superstar and father of her two daughters, issuing Kobe Bryant is “not getting divorced, because Vanessa Bryant says so … She will file legal docs to dismiss her divorce petition.”

If there is one thing going well this season, it’s been the relationship between Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa who were on the verge of divorce. 

Not sure that is exactly on top of what Lakers fans were hoping for this year, but they will take their blessings where they can find them. 

Back in December of 2011, TMZ reported Vanessa Bryant had filed for divorce from Kobe for reasons they stated as the NBA star being “unfaithful.”

Whatever the reasons, the report stated the legal papers cited “irreconcilable differences,” ones that seem to be very much reconciled at the moment. 

If the past year has been about Kobe getting healthy and staying productive on the court, it has been just as much about mending his relationship with his wife off of it. 

The report reminds us the two have been moving ever slowly to this decision, leaving the Hurricane Sandy relief concert arm-in-arm and then spending New Year’s Eve together. 

There was even the 2012 Christmas Card of the Bryants that really showed a happy family ready to put some nasty business well behind them. 

If you are wondering about financial ramifications of the decision, TMZ has you covered on that as well:

Fact is … we’ve checked property records and Vanessa still owns 2 of the Newport Beach mansions — she just sold the third for $3.2 mil.  We don’t know for sure, but it seems like Kobe may have signed a post-nup, giving Vanessa more financial leverage in the relationship.

Bryant continues to make his way through an awful season wherein a star-studded team has been hit with injuries and under-achieving production. 

Still, he would be the first to tell you the year is getting off to a rather great start.

Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian’s divorce at a standstill

Divorce proceedings for Brooklyn Nets power forward Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian have been going on for a year. Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, is reportedly the holdout.
“Kris Jenner has decided that she will let the divorce drag on because she is not willing to give into any of Kris’ demands,” a source told Fansshare.com. “Kim wants them to just settle out of court, but Kris Jenner is adamant that Kris will not get away with calling the marriage a scam.”

Will Kanye Propose to Kim Kardashian After Kris Humphries Divorce Is Finalized?

No, no, no…God, please no. 

We are about to see how gullible the American viewing public is, and my estimation puts that final tally somewhere between very and extremely. 

Radar Online reports Kanye West is in the initial throes of asking Kim Kardashian to be his wife. 

This means Yeezy is not smart, and neither are the masses who will no doubt tune into another season of Kim Kardashian Finds True Love. 

Radar Online continues their exclusive report with news that West is actually thinking about using diamonds and rubies from his late mom Donda’s collection of fine jewelry to craft a ring for his girlfriend and reality TV superstar. 

That seems like a good thing to do, make a ring from your deceased mother’s collection to give to a woman who would be marrying for her third time. Yes, remember that Kardashian was married to music producer Damon Thomas once upon a time. 

The Kris Humphries divorce is just her most public failure. 

That divorce, which is still pending, seems to be the last speed bump to a new engagement, according to Radar Online

A source tells them: 

And now, Kanye has found a woman he respects and loves just as much as his mom, so he wants to share her jewelry collection with Kim. 

He’s hoping to propose to Kim with the ring when she finally gets divorced. 

His friends think it’s a terrible idea and are advising him not to give Kim the ring. Because it’s a gift, it would be difficult for Kanye to ask for it back if they ever split up.

They’ve also reminded him that Kim is not somebody who works hard for her money. She makes millions doing reality shows and selling her image, and Donda’s jewelry shouldn’t be part of that image. 

The divorce continues through depositions and seems to be destined for a longer haul, so you can wait for the “Very Special Season of Kim Kardashian Totally Falls in Love, This Time It’s For Real.”

The last time the reality TV princess milked her relationship for ratings (cynical much?), she was marrying New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries. 

That fairy tale marriage lasted 72 days, shorter than her current relationship with West. 

At some point, a wedding will take place. I base this assumption more on the sick feeling in my stomach than I do this report. 

At that point, we will see how many viewers buy in once again. My vertigo tells me it will be all of them.

Report: Bryants to put divorce on hold

Kobe Bryant Divorce on Hold: Can He and Vanessa Work It Out?

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant are calling off their divorce. Well, at least for the moment. 

TMZ is reporting the Bryants have reconciled enough for Vanessa to consider not signing off on the divorce, something she can do as early as this upcoming weekend. 

Per the report, Vanessa Bryant, who was ready to call off her marriage to Lakers star Kobe Bryant due to past infidelities, needed to wait a full six months before completing the divorce process. 

That time period was set to conclude over this upcoming weekend, but sources have confirmed with the news agency that Vanessa has relented on making the split final. Per TMZ:

Vanessa could end the marriage as early as Monday … but we know she won’t.

Now here’s the deal. We’re told Kobe and Vanessa have had their ups and downs since she filed for divorce … and there’s nothing stopping her from filing final divorce papers at some point in the future if things don’t work out.

The other interesting part in all this is Vanessa owning three mansions, as the report states. Kobe, at some point during the divorce process, signed off those properties to his wife. 

Time, it seems, is finally working out for Kobe Bryant. The Los Angeles Times reported back in December that Vanessa was wise to wait out the 10-year mark on their marriage:

The fact the marriage lasted 10 years gives Vanessa Bryant several advantages under California divorce law. After passing the 10-year mark, attorney Dmitry Gorin said, a marriage is defined as a lengthy one, which means the spouse is allowed to maintain her standard of living after the split.

Another period of time has given Vanessa some time to consider the marriage and make her believe it’s something worth saving. 

Leaving all snark aside, this is wonderful news, and it has nothing to do with loyalty to the Lakers or being a fan of the NBA or men who dominate the sport. 

This couple has two children, two daughters names Natalia and Gianna. Above all else, the news should resonate the most with these two girls who have been put through some weighty emotional distress. 

So the question of whether they can hold it together past this tumultuous time rests on the momentum they have made for themselves over the past six months. 

They have lasted this long, so I am wagering they hold on a bit longer. At least, that’s what we wish for the Bryants. 

Here is to hoping mom and pop continue down this road of reconciliation, if only to keep the family together. 

Follow me on Twitter for wall-to-wall excitement.
