Whitney Houston filed divorce papers in Orange County Superior Court this week, a month after filing for legal separation from Bobby Brown, Houston's publicist Nancy Seltzer said Tuesday.
The documents could not be obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press and Brown's attorney Phaedra Parks declined to comment.
Houston had asked in her separation papers that she be granted custody of the couple's 13-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina, and that Brown be allowed visitation rights.
