Kardashian filed for divorce from Humphries on Oct. 31, 2011, after just 72 days of marriage. Their lavish, star-studded nuptials were recorded and broadcast by E! Entertainment Television.

The trial is expected to last three to five days and could reveal details about Kardashian's reality show empire, which includes "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and several spinoffs.

Two judges determined Friday that Humphries' lawyers had adequate time to prepare for the trial.

Humphries, 28, wants the marriage annulled based on his claim that Kardashian only married him for the sake of her show. She denies that allegation and says the case should be resolved through what would be her second divorce.

Humphries' attorney Marshall Waller asked for a delay until basketball season is over. But Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon refused, saying firefighters, police officers, truck drivers and others have to miss work for trials, and Humphries must do the same if necessary.

Waller filed paperwork Thursday to withdraw from the case but didn't mention that development in court and refused to answer any questions about the document on Friday.

Waller said he was still hoping to obtain and review 13,000 hours of footage from Kardashian's reality shows to try to prove the fraud claim but noted he does not yet have an agreement to receive the footage.

Kardashian's lawyer said her client was ready for trial.

"Let's get this case dispensed with," attorney Laura Wasser said.

Humphries has provided a deposition in the case, as have West and Kardashian family matriarch Kris Jenner.

There's more plastic on her than there is in a SUV.

Kim K is a piece of work. I don't understand why this guy fell for it. I do like how he is going after her because I think he is right. Her marriage to him was a big publicity stunt. That is all she does.

Kim cheated on the guy even when they were married. The judge should award alimony to the guy because her earnings with West will not be much more than his.

If there was ever a woman responsible for us guys coining the term, "good for one thing and one thing only", this gal is it.

And, I don't think she's even good at that, she is actually ugly without all that paint and Botox on her face.

Is there even a word or description for what happened here? I realize that people have a shallow conception of what marriage means now-a-days... But this Kim K. took it to a whole new level of shallow, self-serving and meaningless, in my opinion. I'm surprised she still has a career, who would be interested in following her I wonder. I'm surprised at Kanye West, too.

I hope that she can settle down, have her baby and nurture a real family with Kanye West. But THAT would surprise me too.

I think he feels that she showed zero concern about his feelings and he intends to make her pay.

Knowing her previous behavior pattern what was Kris thinking about getting involved with her? Now that she is knocked up by her current squeeze, I hope the judge is not stupid enough to want Kris to pay child support.

13,000/24 hrs a day = 541 days
