Sources intimate to the couple disclosed that Kanye is okay with the joint custody arrangement, in fact, he is very much up for co-parenting.

It should be noted that the divorce has a prenup but neither Kanye nor Kim is contesting it.

TMZ reported that the couple is actually very far from discussing property settlement agreement.

The divorce papers which were filled by Laura Wasser did not indicate a date of separation for the two.

However, that seems irritant since their split has been documented in the news and their different social media pages.

Things started going south in Kanye's marriage towards the end of 2020.

It all started with Kanye launching his Presidential campaign and weeks later went ham during a campaign in South Carolina.

At one point, a sobbing Kanye even disclosed that he had a discussion with Kim in which they talked about abortion when she was pregnant with their first child.

It was not after long when Kanye threw jabs at Kim and her family on Twitter, a move that really infuriated the wife.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge disclosed Kim was ready to call it quits after Kanye's outbursts.

However, she took her time first as she understood Kanye was going through a serious bipolar episode.

She felt it would be cruel to end the marriage when he was not doing well.

Briefly.co.za recently reported that a source close to the family has said the two will amicably raise their kids together. According to a source who spoke to E! News, the pair will soon stop living together.

Kim promises not to stand between her husband and their little ones.

"He still wants to play a huge role in their lives and Kim would never discourage that,” the source said.
