LOS ANGELES (AP) ? NBA player Kris Humphries asked a judge Thursday to annul his 10-week, highly publicized marriage to Kim Kardashian on the basis that it was fraudulent.

The filing comes roughly a month after Kardashian filed for divorce and apologized to fans.

Humphries' petition did not offer any details to support his contention that the marriage was a fraud, which a judge would have to determine is true for the marriage to be completely nullified.

Kardashian's attorney Laura Wasser declined to comment on Humphries' filing.

The couple signed a prenuptial agreement before marrying in a star-studded ceremony Aug. 20 at an exclusive estate in California.

Kardashian's sisters and TV co-stars Kourtney Kardashian, 32, and Khloe Kardashian, 27, served as co-maids of honor.

Kim Kardashian and Humphries began dating late last year and announced their engagement in May. He proposed on bended knee with a 20.5-carat ring by spelling out "Will you marry me?" in rose petals.

Kardashian filed for divorce Oct. 31, citing irreconcilable differences. The actress-model is the star of the E! Entertainment Television series "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," and her marriage to Humphries was turned into a high-touted televised special.

Humphries is a free agent NBA forward who played last season for the New Jersey Nets. He is requesting that if an annulment isn't granted, the couple be deemed legally separated.

Humphries' marriage to Kardashian is his first; she was previously married to a music producer for four years.

Both Kardashian and Humphries are asking a judge to prevent either side from receiving spousal support, and Kardashian wants her husband to pay his own attorney's fees.

TMX says regulator has "serious concerns" about Maple deal (Reuters)

(Reuters) ? TMX Group said Canada's commissioner of competition expressed "serious concerns" about the likely competitive effects of Maple Group's proposed plan to buy the owner of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The commissioner has serious concerns about the likely competitive effects of the proposed transactions in the current environment, primarily in connection with equities trading and clearing and settlement services in Canada, the parties said in a statement on Tuesday.

Thirteen big-league banks, pension funds and other financial institutions that make up the Maple Group are trying to persuade regulators that the C$3.8 billion ($3.7 billion) plan to buy TMX Group is good for Canada's capital markets.

The deal has come under the scrutiny of the powerful securities commissions of Quebec and Ontario as well as two other provincial watchdogs.

Parties to the deal said the commissioner indicated that she has not reached a final conclusion. Maple and TMX Group said they intend to continue to work closely with the Competition Bureau to address the commissioner's concerns.
