Brown & Houston Divorce Finalized

As far as Whitney Houston's concerned, broken hearts could do themselves a favor by going to Orange County.

That's where a judge signed off Wednesday on the terms of the Grammy winner's divorce from estranged hubby Bobby Brown, awarding her custody of the couple's 14-year-old daughter, Bobbi Christina, and setting Apr. 24 as the day when Houston is officially free to dance with somebody else.

Houston, who in December requested a default judgment to speed up the process of becoming single, reportedly got rather emotional during the hearing, dabbing her eyes with a tissue and refusing to speak to reporters outside the courtroom.

According to court documents filed by Houston, 43, she and Brown, 38, had a prenuptial agreement preventing them from amassing community property and paying spousal support, leaving the issue of custody as the main item on the legal agenda.

"It's very difficult to communicate" with Brown, Houston told Superior Court Judge Franz Miller. "He's unavailable...He doesn't keep his word. If he says he's going to come, sometimes he comes, most of the time he doesn't.

"His schedule is erratic. I don't know where he's going to be at any point in time."

For starters, Brown wasn't in court on Wednesday. His attorney, Ram Cogan, said that he will file a petition protesting the custody ruling, which provided for "reasonable" visitation with Bobbi Christina.
