fox23news.com/entertainment, January 13 12:01 PM - Avril Lavigne's album has reportedly been delayed again, following her split from husband Deryck Whibley.

The
pair separated last year after three years of marriage, with the singer
filing for divorce in September citing "irreconcilable differences."

Lavigne's fourth studio album, which is being produced by the Sum 41
star, was delayed from its original November 2009 release date by two
months, but reports suggest it now won't be ready until the summer.

The
former couple is attempting to complete the disc together but finds it
"terribly frustrating" finishing the production schedule, according to
Jam! Showbiz.

A source tells the Web site "The first eight songs,
Avril and Deryck worked with a lot of love and it came easy. But
there's three or four more to do and they just ain't feeling it. It'll
be a terrific album if they can put this aside for a month or so and
concentrate on what matters - the music."

Avril Lavigne's Divorce From Deryck Whibley Affecting Her Album Release Date

allheadlinenews.com, Anne Lu - Celebrity News Service News Writer, Los Angeles, CA, January 12, 2009 - Avril Lavigne's divorce from
Deryck Whibley is affecting her professional life. The pop punk
singer's album, produced by her soon-to-be ex-husband, was supposed to
hit the market last November, but it looks like it would take months
before it gets finished.

Lavigne,
25, separated from the Sum 41 musician, 29, in September, when her
tentatively titled acoustic album "Pink Crust" was already 75 percent
done.

Things apparent got ugly in November when Whibley's
attorney insisted that Lavigne should pay for spousal support but she
is refused to do so.

A source told the Toronto Sun that the first
eight songs in the album came out easily when the Ontario native couple
were still together, but now they are finding it "terribly frustrating"
to finish the last three or four songs.

They are reportedly trying to compromise a production schedule to get the delayed album done in time for a mid-2010 release.

Lavigne and Whibley married in July 2006 in California after dating for two years.

Avril also wants to thank all her family, friends and fans for all their support.

Personally, I still hope that they will come back together. But in any case, I always was a fan of Avril and supported her decisions and I always will.

Also, if this is the reason why Avril's next album is going to be out next year, I think we can expect some darker songs, like in the UMS album. After all, everything bad that happens, I believe you can always find a good thing at it.
