Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Finalize Divorce, Rapper to Pay $200K Monthly in Child Support

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have finalized their divorce and reached an agreement about child custody and property. 

The former couple will have joint physical and legal custody of their four children: North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3. 

The Grammy winner is also required to pay Kardashian $200,000 a month in child support. He will also be responsible for half of the children's medical, educational, and security expenses. 

The couple waived spousal support and also agreed to settle disputes regarding the children by participating in mediation. However, if either party fails to take part, the other is allowed to decide on a dispute by default.

The couple's assets, including their property, will be divided based on their prenup.

The divorce finalization comes nine months after Kardashian was ruled legally single during a bifurcation hearing.

Kardashian and West started dating in 2012 and wed in May 2014. Their marriage landed in crisis following West's public outbursts in 2020 after he launched a controversial bid for president of the United States and divulged deeply personal details about his family and marriage during the campaign and on Twitter.

At the time, Kardashian addressed his bipolar disorder diagnosis in a rare public statement, asking fans for "compassion" and acknowledging their "complicated and painful" situation.

Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage and requested in December to be declared legally single. She also asked to separate issues of child custody and property from her marital status and to have her maiden name restored.
