Amy Winehouse gets quickie divorce in 75 seconds

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.

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.
