Vanessa Bryant, 29, has until Sunday to sign the documents to make her divorce from the philandering LA Lakers star final.
But according to reports, she just can't bring herself to leave the father of her two children.

'We've learned Kobe and Vanessa are trying to work out the issues that caused her to file for divorce back in December.
'They spend a lot of time together but he has not officially moved back in with her, a source told the website.

That means the waiting period expires Sunday and she would officially be free to divorce the NBA star Monday.
However, that is unlikely, the report said. There would be nothing to stop her from doing so at a later date, though.
Kobe, 33, married Vanessa in April 2001 in Dana Point, Calif., when he was 21 and she was 18. They have two daughters, Natalia and Gianna. The marriage became rocky soon after when Kobe was arrested for a sexual assault on a 19-year-old employee of an Eagle, Colorado hotel. The case was eventually dropped, but Kobe admitted he did have an adulterous sexual encounter with his accuser.
