Whitney Houston gets her divorce from Bobby Brown.

Whitney, 43, will have custody of 14-year-old Bobbi Christina, her daughter
with 40-year-old R'n'B star Bobby.

The singer dabbed her eyes with a tissue during the hearing and declined to
comment on the proceedings as she left the courthouse.

Bobby's lawyer said the 'My Prerogative' singer will file a petition to
overturn the judge's decision.

Whitney initially filed for legal separation from Bobby on September 8 last
year and then followed with a divorce request in October.
But on December 28, she requested a default judgment to fast-track the
dissolution of the marriage.

The couple married in 1992 when Whitney was at the height of her success.
During their marriage Bobby has been arrested for drugs and alcohol related
charges and Whitney has twice entered rehab to be treated for addiction to
crack cocaine.
Since their separation she has been recording a new album with J Records
president Clive Davis in Los Angeles.
Despite their split, Whitney and Bobby have been seen together on several
occasions dining with their daughter.
