Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have finalized their divorce, according to People magazine. As per the agreement, Ms Kardashian will receive $200,000 per month in child support from Kanye West, who last year legally changed his name to Ye. The former couple share joint custody of their four children: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. Ms Kardashian had filed for divorce from the rapper in February last year, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple was married in a lavish wedding in Italy in 2014.
According to the settlement, Ye will deposit the agreed amount in Ms Kardashian’s account on the first day of every month. He will also be responsible for half of the children’s medical, educational, and security expenses, People further said in its report.
The judge declared the two legally single at Kardashian’s request in March, ending their eight-year marriage, but issues of property and custody remained that were to be worked out in a trial starting 14 December.
The two have four children whose ages range from three to nine years old.
Kardashian and Ye will equally split the expenses for the kids’ private security and private school, including college, according to the settlement proposal.
They will also each pay their own debts, the settlement said. The two had a prenuptial agreement and kept their property largely separate.
The couple began dating in 2012 and had their first child in 2013. West proposed later that year using the giant screen at the empty waterfront ballpark of the San Francisco Giants, and the two married on 24 May 2014 in a ceremony at a Renaissance-era fortress in Florence, Italy.
The two appeared to be headed for a cordial split with agreed-upon terms when Kardashian first filed for divorce in February 2021. Neither discussed the split publicly until early this year, when Ye started lashing out on social media against Kardashian, her family and her then boyfriend Pete Davidson. Among his complaints were that he was not being allowed to make major parenting decisions and was been excluded from birthday parties and other events for their children.
Ye, who has fired two lawyers since the divorce filing, also raised several technical issues and demands, including seeking the right to question any new husband of Kardashian’s under oath, which the judge, Steve Cochran, promptly rejected.
Kim and Ye, who began dating in 2012 and had their first child in 2013, had a prenuptial agreement and kept their property separate. They got married in May 2014 in an intimate set up.
Talking about her divorce earlier this year, Kim told Vogue, “For so long, I did what made other people happy. And I think in the last two years I decided, I’m going to make myself happy. And that feels really good. And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy. I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you.”
