How Much Kanye West's Divorce From Kim Kardashian Cost

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were together for eight years, married for six, before they split. After filing for divorce from the rapper in January 2021, Kim's relationship with Kanye became a roller coaster full of ups and downs, co-parenting struggles and public accusations.

"I very much need to be divorced. I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he has not done so. Kanye has been hanging a lot of misinformation relating to our personal circle of relatives matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress," Kim expressed in a statement to the court, according to Rolling Stone. "I believe that the courtroom terminating our marital standing will help Kanye to accept that our marital courting is over and to move forward on a better trail which is able to help us in peacefully co-parenting our kids."

Fortunately, the couple did have a prenup in place, so distribution of finances and property was not an issue in the divorce, and both Kim and Kanye waved spousal support.

Kanye West does pay a large amount of child support to Kim Kardashian each month, though. According to The New York Post, the divorce settlement, which was finalized in November 2022, reads that Kanye West is expected to pay Kim Kardashian $200,000 a month in child support, because the children will spend the majority of their time with Kardashian. The couple, who share joint custody of their four children, equally divide other expenses involving their children, including private security, schooling and college.
