The Truth About Kanye West Losing Custody Of His Kids And Who Is Currently Taking Care Of Them
When Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West in early 2021, she asked joint and legal bodily custody of their 4 kids – North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3. In his response, Kanye also requested joint physical and legal custody. However, the exes haven't begun to figure out a custody arrangement as of yet.In the wake of Kanye’s recent behavior (and experiences of trouble at court), there have been questions over whether he’ll get joint custody or now not. Here’s everything we know about the ongoing custody scenario between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
If Kanye West Misses Court, He Could Lose Custody
Kim and Kanye had been each declared legally single previous in March 2022. However, their divorce still isn’t finalized, as they need to come to an settlement on the division of their last belongings and custody.
According to recent reports, Kanye is making things difficult. He failed to show up to a scheduled deposition without notice on November 16th by which Kim’s attorneys have been meant to query him. Kanye’s deposition look was re-scheduled for later in the month. But it would majorly harm Ye’s case if he fails to seem again.
Speaking to The Sun, Lexie Rigden of Rigden Law LLC defined that Kanye is at an actual possibility of losing custody of his youngsters.
“If Kanye refuses to turn as much as his deposition, the Judge may just sanction him monetarily, make him pay counsel fees, and if it is an egregious enough discovery violation, the pass judgement on could possibly bar him from putting on a case at trial,” she stated.
"In most divorce cases, the parties are able to at least work out some of the issues,” she continued. “But, given his behavior and apparent unreasonableness, everything may be in dispute, from custody to distribution of assets.”
Kanye West’s Controversial Behavior Doesn’t Look Good
Though he’s long been known for his controversial antics, Kanye’s recent antics have had major fallout on his career. He lost this long-time partnership with Adidas following a series of antisemitic and anti-Black comments. Shortly after, Forbes said Kanye lost his billionaire status with the end of the Adidas deal.
Other companies and brands like Vogue, Balenciaga, and Gap have cut ties with the rapper in recent months.
In addition, Kanye is facing various legal troubles. He’s been called out for workplace harassment and abuse and has reportedly paid settlements to former employees over related incidents. Ye’s other ongoing lawsuits include a million-dollar case filed by his former manager. George Floyd’s family also launched a $250 million lawsuit over defamatory comments Kanye made about the activist’s death.
Kanye has and continues to call people out online in various social media rants. He hasn’t been afraid of calling Kim and her family out, and airing out the details of their custody battle.
This includes criticizing Kim’s parenting and claiming her mother, Kris, will corrupt their children. He also harassed Pete Davidson when he was dating Kim earlier in the year. Ye encourages his fans to scream at Pete in public, and he released an animated music video featuring himself burying a likeness of Pete alive.
In speaking The Sun, attorney Lexie Ridgen noted that Kanye’s recent behavior could greatly hinder him in the custody battle.
"His disparaging posts about Kim and her family in the media, and his nonsensical proposals together with that the kids attend two other faculties immediately, are going to likely be used to show that he cannot moderately co-parent and does not have the kids's best possible interests in mind,” she defined.
Kim Kardashian Already Has Their Kids 80% Of the Time
Kim maintains she does her absolute best to ensure Kanye is of their kids’ lives. But the rapper has admitted that Kim has them 80% of the time.
"Even to this day, I'll still give Kim advice on things that can help, because that's gonna go to the kids," Kanye right through an appearance on the Mind Full podcast.
He persisted, "She's still got to, basically, 80 percent of the time, raise those children."
If the children are with Kim maximum of the time, that’s any other factor that won’t bode neatly in Kanye’s bid to win custody.
But among his many allegations, Kanye has claimed that Kim has deliberately kept their children from him. He’s long past as far as to say the kids had been abducted, which his ex-wife has denied.
For example, in March, Ye made an Instagram post implying that he’s not all the time allowed to have access to his kids. "This was on my daughters back pack when I was 'allowed' to see her last week," he wrote. "This is why I go so hard for my family I am wired to protect my family at all cost As the priest of my home Don't worry Northy God is still alive."
Kim answered immediately in the comments to reveal that Kanye had just observed their kids. "Please stop with this narrative, you were just here this morning picking up the kids for school," she wrote.
Between his spotty courtroom record, controversial habit, and (alleged) lack of involvement, Kanye custody situation stays up in the air.
