Kanye West is moving forward with his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
The rapper filed his response to Kim’s divorce petition on Friday (April 9), requesting for joint custody of their four children – seven-year-old North, five-year-old Saint, three-year-old Chicago and one-year-old Psalm. He listed irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce and also asked to terminate the court’s ability to award spousal support and attorney’s fees to either party.
Kim filed her divorce petition almost two months ago, on February 19, listing the irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce. She’s also asking for joint legal and physical custody of their four children.
There’s been some speculations about how they will be divvying up their properties – particularly, their home in Calabasas. Kim reportedly wants to keep it for the sake of their kids, but it also happens to be Kanye’s passion project – he helped design the interiors.
Although sources say neither is planning to contest their prenup and they are already in the process of reaching a property settlement agreement, one difference in their divorce filings is that Kim referred to their prenup in her filing, while Kanye said separate property is TBD according to proof at time of trial or settlement.
After a tumultuous 2020, split speculations began swirled around the couple in January of this year – which was finally confirmed when Kim officially filed for divorce from her husband of almost seven years in mid-February.
When it comes to their children, however, sources say Kim and Kanye are on the same page – and are both committed to co-parenting.
The couple is yet to publicly speak out about their split.
