Britney Spears’ estranged husband Sam Asghari was a no-show in court this week — putting their divorce at risk of being thrown out.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the court scheduled a November 15 hearing to discuss the case being at a standstill.
Britney said she was "shocked" by the split.
In October, the Los Angeles Superior Court judge presiding over the case warned Sam that if he didn’t take the proper steps, including serving Britney with the legal paperwork, the divorce would be dismissed.
Earlier this week, the hearing went down but Sam didn’t show. The court minutes read, “Petitioner failed to appear. Matter is placed off the calendar.”
Sam demanded support from his ex.
The judge didn’t reveal if he plans to give Sam additional time.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Sam filed for divorce from Britney in August.
Britney and Sam have not been seen together since the breakup.
In his petition, he listed the date of separation as July 28, 2023. The couple got hitched on June 9, 2022.
Sources revealed Britney and Sam signed an “ironclad” prenuptial agreement that protected the pop star’s fortune. An insider said the actor will likely be paid a lump sum but is not entitled to support.
Per the prenup, Sam walked away with any cars in his possession along with any gifts given to him over the 7-year relationship.
In her new memoir, Britney praised Sam for being there for her during tough times with her family.
