Kris Humphries' lawyer has quit.

Marshall Waller - who had been representing the basketball player in his divorce from Kim Kardashian - has left Kris' legal team following an ''irremediable breakdown of the attorney-client relationship'', according to gossip website TMZ.

Kris still has an out-of-state lawyer - Lee Hutton - but needs another California lawyer for the divorce case.

Kim and Kris split in November 2011 after just 72 days of marriage and it was previously revealed the reality TV star - who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Kanye West - is worried the drawn out divorce could have ''long-term effects'' on her baby.

The 32-year-old beauty was treated for severe abdominal pains recently, after her doctor rushed to her home in the middle of the night to examine her and warned her to reduce her stress levels.

Kim's mother and manager Kris Jenner also confirmed she has been told to relax.

She said: ''Kim has been going through this divorce for months. She has been under a lot of stress because of it and the doctors told her she had a really tough week and the stress could become a problem if she isn't careful.''
