Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley took nearly a year and a half to end a marriage that lasted less than four months. The divorce was finalized Monday, according to court papers filed in Superior Court in Los Angeles.
The documents show that neither will pay financial support to the other and each will retain any assets they had prior to the marriage. They filed for separation in November 2002, just a few months after their romantic wedding in Hawaii in August of that year.
The actor - filing under his real name, Nicolas Coppola - cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split in the original divorce petition.
"I'm sad about this, but we shouldn't have been married in the first place. It was a big mistake," Presley said in a statement at the time.

A lot of us thought it was a big mistake right from the start ! Her choice of partners leaves a lot to be desired !

Let us hope she has matured and with her recording career on the move, she picks a more suitable marraige partner if she decides to get married in the future. Think before you leap Lisa.

I think Lisa needs to stop playing the aging rebel. It hardly becomes her, and only puts her on a par with some other hollywood brats who think it's cool to come over as arrogant and smart alec. Her dad made his mistakes but at least he did it with a little more humility.

I think we need to stop passing judgement on her and comparing her to her father.
