New reports claim that 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Phaedra Parks is finally filing for a divorce from her husband Apollo Nida. Sources say she wanted to file for it years ago, but she put if off because she didn't want her children to be affected.

Now, it seems that Parks has had enough and made the decision to leave Nida. Many believe that the biggest reason for her recent change of heart is that Nida is facing some serious jail time.

Over the years, Parks was keen to put on a smile for the public and hide her feelings about her failing marriage. Reports allege that Nida was constantly failing to perform his duties as a father to his family, and was not dependable in the slightest.

Rumors about a divorce between the two became fueled as Parks did not attend Nida's most recent court appearance. According to Nida's attorney, Parks was just busy and she could not attend the trial, but many felt that this is a big indication that Parks is ready for divorce.

If Parks goes through with the divorce, she'd be exonerated from her connection to his criminal charges. Nida is facing 8 years in prison for charges of fraud.

In a radio interview, Nida was asked if he thinks his marriage would last and he honestly answered with, "I doubt it."
