The tumultuous divorce between Kanye West and Kim K is slowly coming to an unceremonious end, but neither celeb is out of the woods just yet.
End of the Road
According to legal documentation from The Blast, Kanye West is getting the final things in order before the divorce. This comes after months of social media jabs and public spats between the two stars.
Kanye has filed a declaration of disclosure, meaning that both ex-spouses have claimed their individual assets and liabilities. Usually, this step comes mere days before a final judgment appears and the divorce is final. This is a relief for Kim. She’s been publicly dating since announcing her split with West, despite his harassment and clear disapproval.
In addition, the disclosure declaration proves Kanye has sent all of his financial info to Kim, and they’ve reached a compromise on splitting assets.
Kanye Persists
While money and property seem to be taken care of, the custody of the four West children hangs in the air. The affairs of Saint, North, Chicago, and Psalm have been one of the former couple’s most significant points of contention since the breakup. If you remember, the pair couldn’t even pull off a birthday party without an Instagram blowout back in January. In an unexpected incident, Ye accused Kim of “kidnapping” his daughter and barring him from her event.
Months later, the duo came to blows over North’s access to TikTok. The 9-year-old also grew an affinity for gothic makeup and clothing, which her dad intensely disliked. “I am her father, and I know y’all don’t respect fathers and the idea of family [but] I said I’m not allowing my daughter to be used by TikTok, to be used by Disney. I have a say so.” The 41-year-old said in a video posted to Instagram in March.
The latest trouble is the children’s schooling. It’s no secret Kanye has been developing his own “Donda” school, and he’s demanding his own kids attend. While Kim hasn’t spoken out on the matter, it appears Ye is standing firm on his choice. He recently hired famed celebrity divorce lawyer Robert Stephan Cohen, representing Chris Rock and Melinda Gates. With Cohen’s impressive track record, Ye might have a fighting chance.
Still, with Kanye’s unpredictable behavior in recent months, it’s sure to be a brutal custody battle ahead.
