The end may still be in sight for Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon, who married in October.
After Anderson filed for divorce in mid-December, and then days later said they were “working things out,” her attorney filed a proof of service of summons in Los Angeles Superior Court, reports CelebTV.com.
The document, filed on Dec. 28, shows that Salomon was served with divorce papers on Dec. 15. He has 30 days to file a response to her divorce claim.
Britney Spears’s latest lawyer, Sorrell Trope, filed a request Wednesday to withdraw from the singer’s custody case, court documents show.
“There has been a breakdown in communications between (Spears) and Trope & Trope (law firm) making further representation of her interests impossible,” says the document.
Trope gave no further details. But he said the ultimate decision to quit isn’t up to him.
“A lawyer cannot simply withdraw from a case,” he says. “We will ask the court to relieve us.” A hearing is set for Feb. 4.
