LOS ANGELES -- A Los Angeles judge on Friday finalized former NBA player Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian's divorce, more than three years after Kardashian first sought to end their marriage.

Kardashian filed for divorce in December 2013 after the pair had been married for four years, but she rescinded the filing after Odom was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel last year. She cited Odom's medical condition as one reason to withdraw the divorce.

She refiled for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, in May. They have no children together.

The couple started a company called Khlomar, the nickname bestowed on their relationship after they started dating in 2009. The company will dissolve now that the divorce is complete, court documents state.

Neither Kardashian nor Odom will receive spousal support, the judgment states. While the judge signed off on it Friday, the pair won't be officially single until Dec. 17.

Odom last played for theLos Angeles Clippers during the 2012-13 season, averaging a career-low 4.0 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. He signed a contract with the New York Knicks in 2014 but was cut by the team before appearing in a game.

Kardashian's first divorce filing came days after Odom pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge.

The 6-foot-10-inch power forward had his best years with the Los Angeles Lakers between 2004 and 2011. The team won NBA championships in 2010 and 2011, and Odom won the NBA's Sixth Man Award during that second championship run.

In addition to appearing on several reality series chronicling her family, Kardashian helps operate clothing stores and other businesses with her sisters, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian.
