The divorce of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown was approved on Wednesday and will become final on April 24, PEOPLE has learned.
In addition, Orange County, Calif., Judge Franz E. Miller awarded custody of the couple's 14-year-old daughter, Bobbi Christina Brown, to Houston.
Brown, 40, and Houston, 43, were married for 14 years.
At times dabbing her eyes with a tissue during the court session, Houston testified that she did not require spousal or child support and that Bobbi Kristina could not depend on her father. "He's unreliable," Houston said of Brown, according to the Associated Press. "If he says he's going to come, sometimes he does. Usually he doesn't." 
Houston declined to comment to reporters after the hearing
