Kim Kardashian and ex Kanye West finally settle divorce as reality star gets whopping figure in child support payment
KIM Kardashian and Kanye West have reached a divorce settlement and the reality star has been awarded a major child support payout.
The SKKN mogul filed for divorce in February 2021, seeking to end her marriage to the Chicago rapper after seven years.
TMZ reported that Kim, 42, and Kanye, 45, have settled their divorce.
The pair have reached an agreement on all matters, including child support, custody, and property division.
The Kardashians star and her Yeezy founder ex will get joint custody of their four kids – North, Saint, Pslam, and Chicago.
Documents obtained by the outlet say they will have equal access to the kids, though sources have told TMZ that Kim will have them most of the time.

The Skims founder will receive a massive sum in child support monthly from her ex.
According to TMZ, the presidential hopeful will have to pay Kim $200,000 a month.
Sources claim that it's his share of the cost to care for and maintain the lifestyle of his children and it's to be wired directly into her account on the first of every month.
In addition to that sum, Kanye is responsible for 50 percent of his kids' educational expenses and 50 percent of their security costs.

That's not all that Kim and Kanye agreed on in their settlement.
The pair reportedly agreed that if ever there is a dispute between them about their children, they'll go to mediation.
If one party fails to participate, the other automatically gets to make the decision.
Property decisions and division of assets were all whatever the duo had laid out in their original pre-nuptial agreement.
Both Kim and Kanye waived spousal support in the agreement.
DIVORCE DRAMA
In the midst of their split, things got ugly between the TV personality and fashion designer.
Back in October, Kanye got into it with another parent while standing on the sidelines at son Saint's soccer game.
The outing came on the heels of anti-semitic remarks made by the musician, that led to several companies – including Adidas and Gap – parting ways with him.
Kanye was recorded arguing with the parent and TMZ broke the news.
The parent reportedly expressed her thoughts on the rapper's recent comments, leading to a dust-up between them.
The rapper was seen storming off the field while Kim, who had been keeping her distance all the while, hung back.
At the time, a source told The U.S. Sun that Kim is "desperate" to finalize her divorce from Kanye but he has continued to stall the case.
DELAY AND PRAY
Following Kim's decision to file for divorce, Kanye went to great lengths to stall the process.
He took weeks to file his declaration of disclosure and lost six or more lawyers, with many reportedly struggling to work with him amid outbursts online and bizarre behavior behind the scenes.
Robert Stephan Cohen, one of Kanye's past lawyers who is based in New York, confirmed to The U.S. Sun he is no longer representing the embattled star.
His LA-based divorce attorney, Nick Salick, is believed to have continued on working on the divorce.
Kim addressed Kanye's behavior in a rare Instagram post aimed at her ex.
In March 2022, the Grammy winner claimed his then-estranged wife was keeping the kids from him.
Kanye took to Instagram to share a close-up photo of a backpack, which included pins of the rapper, a green alien, and the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum.
Alongside the photo, Kanye wrote: "This was on my daughter's backpack when I was 'allowed' to see her last week.
"This is why I go so hard for my family I am wired to protect my family at all cost.

"As the priest of my home Don’t worry Northy God is still alive."
Not long after the post was shared, Kim hit back: "Please stop with this narrative, you were just here this morning picking up the kids for school."
