Public Information Officer Leland Tang tells E! News that Lamar currently does not have a license and has been suspended from driving for one year. According to Tang, the procedure for the post-DUI license suspension is as follows: officers take the license and give a receipt form detailing the suspension. In one year, Lamar will have to reapply and take a written test.

Everyone in the Kardashian/Jenner clan is pulling for Lamar, but a source says Khloé only recently told the family about her husband's substance abuse struggles. And despite persistent but untrue rumors of a Khloé and Lamar split, a source says "everyone in the family feels divorce should be the last option."
