Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have reached a settlement in their divorce, avoiding a trial that had been set for next month, court documents filed Tuesday showed.
The former couple and their attorneys filed paperwork seeking a judge’s approval of the terms they agreed to, including $200,000 a month in child support from Ye, formerly known as from Kanye West, to Kardashian.
The two will have joint custody and neither will pay child support for the other, according to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
The judge declared the two legally single at Kardashian’s request in March, ending their eight-year marriage, but ownership and custody issues remained to be resolved at a trial beginning Dec. 14.
The two have four children ranging in age from three to nine.
Kardashian and Ye will also share expenses for the children’s private security and private school, including college, according to the proposed settlement.

His last lawyer, Nicholas Salick, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the settlement.
It was the third marriage for reality TV superstar, businesswoman and influencer Kardashian, and rap and fashion mogul Ye’s first marriage. Theirs was one of the most followed celebrity syndicates in decades.
