Keeping up with the Kardashians's antics is tough, but keeping up with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's divorce timeline has been even more difficult. However, after nearly two years, the two finally reached a settlement, Entertainment Tonight confirmed on Nov. 29, 2022 after TMZ was the first to report the news.
Reps for Kardashian did not respond to POPSUGAR's request for comment, and reps for West could not be reached, but according to ET, the former pair's settlement states that they resolved property-related issues (in accordance with their prenup, where both waived spousal support) and child custody matters. They will have "equal access" to their four children - North, 9, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 4 - but the outlet notes that Kardashian will still have the kids the majority of the time.
Per the divorce settlement obtained by ET, West will pay Kardashian $200,000 a month in child support, due the first of every month through a wire transfer to the latter's account. He's also responsible for 50 percent of their children's educational and security expenses. Additionally, if West or Kardashian ever has a dispute over their kids, they've agreed to participate in mediation. If one is ever absent from a meeting, the other parent will make the final decision for their children by default.
Their divorce has been an uphill battle ever since Kardashian officially filed on Feb. 19, 2021, which followed months of breakup rumors. After four kids, seven years of marriage, and nearly two decades of friendship, it seemed like Kardashian and West were in it for the long haul . . . that is, until the latter half of 2020, when rumors of marital troubles started swirling.

Another source for Us Weekly claimed the two weren't on the same page about the future. As the insider explained, "Kanye is jealous of the amount of time Kim has dedicated to prison reform and the kids. Kanye wanted the family to move to Wyoming full-time.

- Kardashian pleads for the courts to dismiss West's request to impede their divorce. New court documents filed on Feb. 23, 2022, obtained by People, state: "Since filing for divorce, Mr. West, by his actions, has made it clear that he does not accept that the parties' marital relationship is over. . . . While I wish our marriage would have succeeded, I have come to the realization that there is no way to repair our marriage. Kanye does not agree but at least it appears that he has come to the realization that I want to end our marriage, even if he does not. I ask that the Court restore me to the status of a single person so that I can begin the healing process and so that our family can begin the healing process and move forward in this new chapter in our lives."
- Kardashian states in court documents that his social media behavior has caused her "emotional distress." The Feb. 23, 2022, court filing states: "Mr. West has disseminated on social media the parties' private communications and misinformation about personal family matters and co-parenting, which has caused emotional distress." West has taken aim at Kardashian's boyfriend, Davidson, alleging he wasn't invited to daughter Chicago's birthday party, and slammed his estranged wife for allowing their daughter North on TikTok.
- West objects to Kardashian's latest divorce petition. "Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress," Kardashian stated in new legal documents on Feb. 24, 2022.

She added that West continued to see their four children while they weren't on speaking terms. Even after their recent feuds on social media, Kardashian expressed that she's "always really hopeful" the two will get back on good terms again.
- Kardashian and West settle their divorce. On Nov. 29, 2022, ET confirmed that the former couple had finalized their divorce after a nearly two-year battle. Their settlement reportedly comes a few weeks before a trial date was scheduled to sort through unresolved issues regarding Kardashian and West's divorce, like shared property.
- Kardashian opens up about split from West in Hulu's "The Kardashians" season three. In the June 1, 2023 episode of the Hulu series, Kardashian discussed West's online attacks against her and her family while talking to her mom Kris Jenner, saying, "I don't want to be a part of this narrative and it's like when is this ever going to end? It never will and I'm stuck with this for the rest of my life." During her confessional, Kardashian also shared, "I still feel the need to not talk about it and protect it from my kids and I always will feel that way, but God, if people knew. I just would never do that to my kids. It just is really crazy." In her conversation with Jenner, Kardashian added, "Sometimes I feel like if he were to hit rock bottom, that's his journey that he needs to figure out on his own. I used to run around and call everyone behind his back and be like, 'It's going to be OK. It's going to be OK. Don't worry, just give him another chance.' I used to spend hours and hours and hours of my day as the clean-up crew . . . I just don't have that energy." Kardashian added in her confessional, "It's the hardest feeling to watch someone you really loved and you have a family with just be so different than who you knew."
