Issues relating to the division of property and custody of their children were resolved in court documents filed on Tuesday, with both parties waiving spousal support.

Former American Rapper Kanye West has been ordered to pay reality TV star Kim Kardashian $200,000 (£167,000) per month in child support as part of a divorce settlement between both parties.

In the court documents, it is stated that West, who has legally changed his name to Ye, and Kardashian will share joint custody with “equal access” to their four children: North, 9; Saint, 6; Chicago, 4; and Psalm, 3.

Issues relating to the division of property and custody of their children were resolved in court documents filed on Tuesday, with both parties waiving spousal support.

According to the documents, the two parties should consult with each other on major decisions concerning the welfare of their children. It also stated that expenses for the children’s security, school, and college will be shared.

In addition, Ye is expected to pay $200,000 a month in child support to Kardashian, which according to the New York Post, is a result of the fact that the children will be spending the majority of their time with her.

Kardashian filed for divorce in 2021, after eight years of marriage with Ye. The former couple was declared legally single in March, with the reality star also dropping “West” from her last name.

In several statements submitted earlier, the 42-year-old SKIMS founder said she “very much” wanted the marriage to be ended, adding that this would “help Kanye to accept” that the relationship was over.

Ye, 45, had previously fought against the separation.

The order comes after several companies cut ties with the rapper over controversies including antisemitic comments. The Yeezy designer has faced controversy in recent months and has been dropped by several brands, including Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga.

Ye had provoked widespread criticism earlier this year after attending Paris Fashion Week wearing a t-shirt bearing a “White Lives Matter” slogan, a phrase often used by white supremacists. He had later claimed his critics were being paid by a secret cabal of Jewish people, a common trope of antisemitism.
