Kanye West will have to pay ex-wife Kim Kardashian $200,000 a month in child support

Kim Kardashian will receive $200,000 in childcare support from her ex-husband Kanye West, after finally settling their divorce.

As reported by TMZ, the former celebrity couple, who were married between 2014 and 2022, have finally resolved their child custody and property issues.

The outlet states that both parents have chosen to get joint custody with “equal access” to their four children; North, nine, Saint, six, Chi, four, and Psalm, three.

According to the settlement, the 45-year-old rapper will also pay the 42-year-old SKIMS founder $200,000 a month in child support, which will be wired into her account on the first day of each month.

The reality TV star filed for divorce from West in February 2021 after seven years of marriage and was declared legally single earlier in 2022.

In addition to the eye-watering child support sum, the ‘Gold Digger’ rapper is responsible for 50% of their kids’ educational expenses, including tuition, as well as half of the security expenses for their children.

TMZ also claims that if both parties disagree over matters relating to their children, they will attend mediation. And if one party fails to attend, then the decision falls to the other person by default.

The divorce papers cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, and Kardashian commented that she decided to “put herself first” in an interview with Vogue magazine.

“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,” she said.

“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,” Kardashian added.

Following their split, the businesswoman went on to date former Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson for 10 months, with their romance ending in August. Meanwhile, the Yeezy star ventured into a whirlwind three-month relationship with actress Julia Fox.

The settlement comes after several companies severed ties with the rapper – who has legally changed his name to Ye – over antisemitic remarks that have further deteriorated his already withering public image.

The ‘Graduation’ hitmaker was locked out of his Twitter account last month over his offensive posts, however, the app’s new owner Elon Musk reinstated it at the beginning of November.
