London, July 16: Amy Winehouse's marriage with
Blake-Fielder-Civil has been legally dissolved after filed an
appeal for divorce citing adultery by the Grammy winning
singer.
The couple were granted a 'decree nisi' at the Family
Division of the High Court here, reported Daily Mail online.
Neither party was present for the proceedings, but
court documents reveal that Fielder-Civil "finds it
intolerable to live with the respondent (Winehouse)".
In a question and answer style document Fielder Civil
is asked: "State briefly your reasons for saying that the
respondent has committed the adultery alleged".
He answered: "The respondent confessed the adultery to
me in April 2008."
He says that since April 2008 he and Winehouse had not
lived in the same household.
The 'Rehab' hitmaker who is back in London after a
8-month-long sabbatical in the Caribbean island of St Lucia,
was photographed in tears while on her way from the airport,
earlier this week.
The decree absolute will be granted after six weeks
and a day, according to British marriage laws.
The 25-year-old 'Back to Black' hitmaker had married
Fielder-Civil in a small ceremony in Malibu in 2007.
He is expected to try and stake a claim on part of her
estimated 10 million pound fortune.
Meanwhile, a source close to the star insisted that a
divorce was the best thing for her.
"It is onwards and upwards for Amy. This part of her
life is behind her. She and Blake have not been in contact for
a long time and she has a lot of good things to look forward
to," said the source.
The divorce marks the end of the couple's turbulent
love affair which revolved around their shared drug abuse.
