Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have officially settled their divorce.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the celebrity pair have agreed on joint custody that grants “equal access” to their four young children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
It’s not all good news for Kanye, though, as he’ll reportedly have to pay his former wife $200,000 in child support each month. The rapper is also responsible for 50% of their children’s educational expenses, as well as 50% of their children’s security expenses.
As per the new divorce settlement, Kim and Kanye will have to attend mediation if they ever have a disagreement regarding any of their four children in. the future. If either of them fails to attend mediation, the participating party will then become the decision maker.
The pair’s property assets were also divided in alignment with their prenuptial agreement. Both Kanye and Kim waived spousal support.
After a high-profile seven-year marriage, Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in early 2021. Kanye proceeded to very publicly try to win her back for several months, until a judge declared the reality TV star legally single in March of this year.
The divorce settlement caps a hugely turbulent few weeks for Kanye. In an open letter to Adidas, former Yeezy staff members alleged that Kanye used to show them porn, including his own sex tapes, at work.

Titled “The Truth About Yeezy: A Call to Action for Adidas Leadership”, the open letter had the staffers demanding that Adidas “address the toxic and chaotic environment that Kanye West created,” including a “very sick pattern of predacious behaviour toward women.”
Kanye also infamously visited Donald Trump at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida for an explosive dinner.
And earlier this week, Kanye surprisingly stormed out of the Timcast IRL podcast following slight pushback against his antisemitic claims. For more on this topic, follow the Film & TV Observer or the Hip Hop Observer.
