It began in the jungle and ended in the high court today, the high-profile
celebrity couple Peter Andre and Katie Price, have had their divorce granted
after several months of hostile wrangling and bitter accusations.

We at SimplyLawJobs feel that the interesting part about this divorce is
that they were divorcing each other! It is quite rare – from what we read,
Peter Andre started divorce proceedings claiming that the marriage had
irretrievably broken down. The ‘respondent’ Katie Price defended the
petition and made a ‘cross petition’. So in this case the divorce proceeded
on the basis of “cross decrees” where both parties divorce the other.

Today, alongside 21 other couples filing for a ‘quickie’ divorce, 4 years of
marriage went down the toilet in less time it took to say “I do”.

Ironically for a relationship that has been carried out in public and filmed
and exploited for commercial gain at every turn the Lawyers are attempting
to keep details of the divorce away from the press. It’s understandable in
relation to the children but the financial settlements are of public
interest. I am sure that it won’t be long, hours if not days before one of
them sells the details to the press and speaks of how hard done by they are.

But is this their ‘final chapter’?
