Lost amidst the hoopla of Kim Kardashian dating Kanye West? She's still married to Kris Humphries!

How can this be, considering the couple signed a pre-nup that divided their assets? And considering they have now been apart far longer than the 72 days for which they were wed?

Simple, Kim's lawyer argued in court today: Humphries is dragging out the precedure because he wants to keep his name in the news.

According to TMZ, Laura Wasser stood in front of a judge today and decreed the action of her client's ex. She said Kardashian will be asking Kris to foot her legal fees if a divorce trial actually commences.

And it looks like we really might be headed down that path: the judge ruled that depositions will be permitted, meaning Kim might truly sit in front of opposing counsel, under oath, and be asked about her motivations for marrying Humphries.

Amazing.
