Kim Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West settled their divorce on Tuesday, November 29, 2022, in Los Angeles. As per court documents, the reality star will be receiving $200,000 per month in child support from the controversial singer for their four children. Netizens were stunned to hear the large amount.

As per their settlement, Kim Kardashian and Kanye “Ye” West have gotten joint custody and “equal access” to their children North, Psalm, Chicago and Saint West. Although legal documents stated that the duo will have equal access to their children, the Skims founder will have the kids the majority of the time, which has also been acknowledged by the Praise God singer.

Legal documents revealed that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum will be receiving the aforementioned amount through a wire transfer to her account each month. Beginning December 1, Kanye West will be responsible to pay the monthly fees. Court documents read:

"Commencing December 1, 2022, Respondent (West) shall pay to Petitioner (Kardashian) as and for child support the sum of $200,000 per month. The child support shall be paid by wire transfer on the first day of each month to an account to be designated by Petitioner."

As per the settlement, if the pair do not agree on “major decisions relating to the Minor Children’s health, education and welfare” they must participate in a mediation for “at least three hours with a mutually agreed upon retired judicial officer based in South California.”

The mediation must take place within 14 days of either person filing a written request if they are unable to resolve an argument. If a partner fails to participate in the mediation, the other party will be granted “sole decision-making power regarding the item(s) then in dispute.”

The agreement also revealed:

“The Parties agree that during their marriage they acquired no community assets together and that as of the Date of Separation and the date of this Stipulated Judgment they owned no community assets.”
