Kanye West, Kim Kardashian

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian attend the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on February 09, 2020 in Beverly Hills, California.

Kanye West filed his answer to Kim Kardashian's divorce petition, practically mirroring his estranged wife's legal documents.

West is also asking for joint legal and physical custody of the couple's four kids, though the filing of joint custody will likely grant Kim having the kids the majority of the time, gossip web site TMZ reports. An arrangement will most likely be worked out privately amongst themselves and will have the agreements approved by the court, as they have both committed to co-parenting.

Both parties do not want spousal support, and West thinks they should pay their own legal fees. Kim and Kanye have a prenup, so dividing their assets should be a seamless process. We earlier reported that Kardashian recently achieved billionaire status.

Kardashian filed for divorce after seven years of marriage with West on February 19. Neither party listed a date of separation, the media outlet reports. Apparently, they hardly spoke in the months leading up to the divorce petition.
