While married life was conflict-ridden for Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, getting a divorce doesn't seem to be any easier.
The two announced they would divorce after only 72 days of marriage last year, but are now at odds over how to end the marriage.
Kim wants her divorce petition heard by a mediator, while Kris is determined to have a divorce granted on the grounds of fraud, arguing that he and Kim married under false pretences.
Kim is reported to have offered a financial settlement in order to get their divorce completed quickly, but Kris says he doesn't want any of her money.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "There have been informal settlement talks going on between Kim and Kris' respective lawyers. Team Humphries has made it crystal clear though that Kris isn't seeking any money from Kim. Kris doesn't want one penny from her.
"His lawyers have said the only terms acceptable for a settlement would be if Kim agrees to Kris' contention that the marriage was a fraud. There is a stand-off at this point because Kim will never agree to that, she says the marriage wasn't a fraud. It just didn't work out."
Socialite Kim, 31, is adamant that the proceedings should be held in private.
'Fraud' footage
And it has been revealed that lawyers for Humphries want to view footage filmed for the reality TV show Kourtney and Kim Take New York, which they feel strengthens their claim for the marriage being a fraud.
It has been claimed that a heartfelt discussion between Kim and her mother Kris Jenner about her marriage woes that aired in an episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York was actually filmed on a soundstage in December, nearly two months after the discussion was presented as having taken place during a business trip to Dubai.
Kris cited fraud as his official response to Kim's divorce petition and wants his lawyer to question his estranged wife, her mother and staff from the show over the scenes, feeling they back his case.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Kris feels that if this is true and the whole conversation was faked, this would help prove that he got married under fraudulent circumstances. Yes, this did occur after the marriage, but this is one clear example that could help sway the judge to grant the divorce on the grounds of fraud."
