The reality star filed court papers in Los Angeles and cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
Court documents were filed by high profile American attorney Laura Wasser - who represented Khloe's sister Kim during her divorce from Kris Humphries - at Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday with Khloe citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
Khloe has asked a judge to take Odom out of her name so she can go from being known as Khloe Kardashian Odom to just Khloe Kardashian once again.
The television personality is not asking for spousal support and splitting any assets should be clean as they have a prenup and have kept their property separate.
Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Khloe married NBA basketball player Lamar in 2009 exactly one month after they met at a party for Lamar's then Los Angeles Lakers teammate Metta World Peace.
News of the divorce comes after months of speculation surrounding the couple with Lamar's alleged drug abuse putting a strain on the marriage.
In August this year the sportsman was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and had a spell in rehab soon after.
In September, reports claiming the couple had been living apart surfaced after the pair had not been seen together in weeks.
However, in October, Khloe and Lamar were seen with the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner family in the VIP section at a Kanye West concert in Los Angeles.
But the pair did not spend the Thanksgiving holiday together with Lamar choosing to visit his father Joe.
And Khloe, who was pictured without her wedding ring at The Hollywood Reporter's 22nd annual Women In Entertainment Breakfast Honoring Oprah Winfrey on Wednesday, was said to have been left distraught when a video of Lamar emerged in November featuring a rap in which he claims he cheated on his television star wife while she was out of town.
The video is said to have been the final straw for Khloe despite she and Lamar reportedly attempting to repair their relationship by attending couple's therapy.
Khloe has posted a number of cryptic messages online in recent months which appeared to relate to her turbulent personal life.
Just the day before she filed the divorce papers, Khloe posted an image on photo sharing website Instagram which contained such a message.
It read: "I am strong because I've been weak. I am fearless because I've been afraid. I am wise because I've been foolish."
A representative for Khloe politely declined to comment on Friday night.
