“Ye” to pay $200,000/month in Child support




Kim Kardashian and Ye have settled their divorce, avoiding a trial that had been set for next month, court documents filed Tuesday showed.

The ex-partner and her lawyers filed documents seeking a judge’s approval of the terms they have agreed to, including child support payments of $200,000 a month from Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, to Kardashian.

Both will have joint custody and neither will pay the other spousal support, according to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The judge declared the two legally single at Kardashian’s request in March, ending their eight-year marriage, but property and custody issues remained to be resolved in a trial that begins December 14.

They both have four children whose ages range from 3 to 9 years.

Kardashian and Ye will split the costs of private security and the children’s school, including university, equally, according to the proposed agreement.

They will also each pay their own debts, according to the agreement. The two had a prenuptial agreement and kept their estates largely separate.

The couple began dating in 2012 and had their first child in 2013. West proposed to her later that year using the giant screen in the empty San Francisco Giants stadium, and the two married on May 24, 2014 in a ceremony in a Renaissance fortress in Florence, Italy.

The two seemed headed for an amicable separation with agreed terms when Kardashian first filed for divorce in February 2021.

Neither of them discussed the split publicly until earlier this year, when Ye began lashing out on social media at Kardashian, his family and his then-boyfriend Pete Davidson. Among his complaints was that he was not allowed to make important parenting decisions and was excluded from birthday parties and other events for his 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 Kardashian husband under oath, something Judge Steve Cochran quickly rejected.

The deal comes shortly after several companies cut ties with Ye over his offensive and anti-Semitic comments, which have further eroded an already weakened public image.

Her last attorney, Nicholas Salick, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the settlement.

It was the third marriage for Kardashian, the reality superstar, businesswoman and influencer, and the first for rap and fashion mogul Ye. Theirs was one of the most followed celebrity unions in recent decades.
