Kim Kardashian doesn't want "a battle" with Kris Humphries.

The reality TV star filed for divorce from the basketball player after just 72 days of marriage in October, but this week the sportsman made an application to have their union annulled on Wednesday (30.11.11), and while the socialite is "upset" by her estranged spouse's move, she is hoping they can resolve things.

A source told People magazine: "The filing is, of course, upsetting. She respects Kris and just wants them both to find peace and move on . Kim doesn't want a battle.

"Kim is sad how things ended up. The split was a devastating decision from the beginning."

Meanwhile, Kris is said to be against divorce for religious reasons so is planning to ask for legal separation extended indefinitely if his petition for annulment - for which he cited "fraud" - is not granted, TMZ.com has claimed.

An indefinite separation would prevent both the basketball player and the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star from marrying again, but legal experts believe Californian courts will grant Kim's divorce petition.

Kris, 26, had originally agreed to sign divorce papers when Kim, 31, flew out to Minnesota for showdown talks, though the sportsman's father says he was "blindsided" by the legal action.

William Humphries said: "There was never a discussion about it - it just came out of nowhere and blindsided Kris.

"How could someone do that? Kris was completely surprised. The news was already published before he found out."
