They felt obligated to allow the donor access but they want the gifts and visits to end. Both parties legal teams are sure their cases are winnable.
Earlier, Briefly News reported that US rapper Kanye West didn't come to play, especially not when it comes to his children. Kanye has asked for joint legal and physical custody of his children as he goes through his divorce from reality star Kim Kardashian.
The former couple has said in the past that they have committed themselves to co-parenting their children. Joint custody doesn't mean that it's going to be a 50/50 split, Kim will probably still have the kids most of the time.
Not only that, but Kanye is not planning on paying spousal support - neither does Kim, because they feel that they are both well off and don't need to be doing so. There probably won't be an issue with dividing their assets because they both signed a prenuptial agreement.
