Lisa Marie Presley asks judge to declare ‘her official single’ of estranged husband

Lisa Marie Presley asks judge to ‘officially declare unmarried’ of a five-year-old estranged man because he ‘refuses’ to divorce

Lisa Marie Presley wants to ‘continue’ with her life and officially cut ties with her estranged husband, Michael Lockwood.

The 53-year-old daughter of Elvis Presley has filed new court documents in which she asked a judge to declare her official alone – a somewhat common practice in long-term divorces – despite her ex refusing to ‘end their marriage’.

In the documents, obtained by TMZ, Lisa Marie gives a bleak future for her relationship and tells the court that there is no hope for the couple to reconcile.

According to the documents, Lisa Marie wants to end her marriage since she filed for divorce in June 2016, but Lockwood ‘refuses’.

Presley is now asking for a dichotomy, ‘which means separating the marital status from other divorce issues’. If her request is granted, she and Michael will both be considered alone in the eyes of the law, while erasing the details of their divorce.

The singer-songwriter said in the documents that she wants the bifurcation ‘so I can get on with my life’.

Lockwood and Presley were married a decade from 2006-2010 and they share twelve-year-old twins Finley and Harper.

In November, Lisa Marie appeared in court for a trial as part of her divorce proceedings to decide who will have custody of their daughters.

In court documents, Lockwood, 59, accuses Presley – who was raised as a Scientologist – of using a Church of Scientology tactic called “Fair Gaming” to drive a wedge between him and his daughters.

And he also attacked Lisa Marie’s advocates for ‘hyper-aggressive litigation’ in the divorce and custody case with ‘hearings spurred on unfounded blissful allegations’.

After Presley’s 27-year-old son, Benjamin Keough, committed suicide in July, Lockwood claimed in legal documents that Lisa Marie’s grief over the tragedy could send her back to the drugs and liquor she claims she’s been free for three years.

Presley has been married four times and had four children. She married singer Danny Keough in 1988 and they shared Danielle Riley Keough – the movie star Riley Keough – and Benjamin. They divorced in 1994.

In the same year she married Michael Jackson, but they divorced two years later. Her third marriage, in 2002 to actor Nicolas Cage, also lasted barely two years. She married Lockwood in 2006, and they divorced in 2016 and filed for divorce.
