Kanye West has been ordered to pay Kim Kardashian $200,000 per month in child support as part of their divorce settlement[1][3][5]. The settlement, reached in November 2022 after nearly two years of legal battles, also stipulates that West and Kardashian will share joint custody of their four children[1][3][5].<\/p>\n
Kardashian initially filed for divorce in February 2021, which led to a high-profile legal dispute regarding their shared assets and children[1][3]. The divorce was settled in court documents filed on Tuesday[1]. Both parties were declared legally single in March 2022, with Kardashian dropping \u201cWest\u201d from her last name[1].<\/p>\n
According to the settlement, West is expected to pay $200,000 a month in child support[1][5]. In addition to the monthly payments, West and Kardashian will equally split expenses for their children\u2019s security, medical costs, and education, including tuition[1][3][5]. This includes private schooling, nannies, and security detail[3]. All of the Kardashian children attend Sierra Canyon School, a private school in Los Angeles with annual tuition costs ranging from $16,000 to over $39,000 per child[3]. The couple will consult with each other on major decisions about their children\u2019s welfare, according to court documents[1]. Any disputes regarding their children will be resolved through mediation[10].<\/p>\n
The $200,000 monthly payments are reportedly due to the children spending the majority of their time with Kardashian[1]. The payments will be wired into Kardashian\u2019s account on the first of each month[3].<\/p>\n
The couple\u2019s four children are North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3[1]. Kardashian, 42, had stated that she \u201cvery much\u201d wanted the marriage to end, while Ye, 45, had previously resisted the separation[1].<\/p>\n
