A judge hasn't signed off on the legal papers to finalize the estranged couple's divorce.

AceShowbiz - Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are still legally husband and wife. A judge hasn't signed the divorce papers yet, which means Khloe is in charge of making the medical decisions while Lamar remains in critical conditions.

"It is not final until it is final. They are still a married couple in the eyes of the law," legal expert Troy Slaten tells E! News. According to Troy, the delay is simply due to a file backlog. Khloe originally filed her divorce papers in December 2013. The courthouse is estimating that it will be finalized later this year.

Troy explains, "Khloe is still his wife and she makes all the medical decisions and she is the next of kin. If Lamar were to pass away, because she does not need anything from him, I doubt that she would take anything in his will or estate and she would defer everything to his children."

He adds that the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star would be making all medical decisions for Lamar unless the estranged couple signed medical directive during the divorce.

Khloe has not left Lamar's bedside as he continues to fight for his life at Sunrise Hospital. She's accompanied by her mother Kris Jenner.

Lamar was found unconscious in a room at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada on Tuesday afternoon, October 13. He's reportedly in a coma and breathing with the help of machines as he's suffering from heart failures and has serious trouble with his kidneys and lungs. A source claimed to have been told by doctors that "cocaine and opiates" were found in his system.
