Kim Kardashian's younger sister split from fallen basketball star Odom in 2013, after four years of marriage, and she filed legal papers to make the break-up official that December (13).

Odom, who has reportedly been struggling with a substance abuse problem, has failed to respond to the documents, allowing the Keeping Up With the Kardashians beauty permission to seek a default judgement in the case, but she has not done so and now officials are ready to throw the petition out of court, according to TMZ.com.

The situation has allegedly caused issues regarding the sale of the former couple's marital home, which the pair offloaded for $5.5 million (£3.44 million) more than a year ago, because realtors have no idea who to hand the money over to.

Kardashian, who is currently in her family's ancestral home of Armenia, has since moved on from the broken marriage - she has been dating rapper French Montana on and off since last year (14).
