Kanye West Files Court Documents Opposing Kim Kardashian’s Request To Be Declared Legally Single
Kanye West has filed court documents opposing Kim Kardashian’s request to be
declared legally single as their divorce continues to drag on.
‘Kim’s motion should be denied without prejudice so that Kim can refile it with the mandatory corrections and requested conditions set forth in the proposed judgment.
Alternatively, a hearing regarding these additional conditions should be set,’ according to documents obtained by E!, filed by Kanye’s lawyer in response to Kim’s bifurcation request.
Kim, 41, filed for bifurcation last year – in which she asked to be declared legally single as other divorce matters continue to be settled. The request is scheduled for approval in March, according to Billboard.
However, attorneys for Kanye say in their latest legal filing that the rapper would only agree to the plan if certain conditions were put in place.
Billboard reports that attorneys for Kanye ‘attempted to informally resolve these conditions’ with Kim’s legal team but ‘significant problems remain.’
It seems as though West is concerned Kim may remarry before their divorce is finalized, according to Page Six. This concern may be what compelled him to file the latest documents.
In his filing, Kanye has requested they establish a ‘right of reimbursement’, which will see either party being ‘reimbursed monies owed’ in the event one of them died, according to Page Six.
However an attorney for Kim has ‘asserted that this condition is unnecessary given the premarital agreement.’
In addition, Kanye is seeking to ensure ‘no assets are transferred out of trusts they created,’ Page Six reports. Kim has also called the condition ‘unnecessary’ as their prenup keeps their assets separate.
Kanye also wants Kim to waive marital privilege until a final agreement has been made on their property and custody of their four children.
The absence of marital privilege means all of their communication will be part of the court record. Kanye also wants her to waive marital privilege in the event she remarries so communication about custody will be available in court.
Kim filed to be legally single and have her maiden name restored in December 2021.
‘Irreconcilable differences have led to the irremediable breakdown of the marriage, and there is no possibility of saving the marriage through counseling or other means,’ documents stating her request to become legally single obtained by E! read.
‘The continued maintenance of technical marital status between [Kardashian] and [West] serves no useful purpose, and there is no reason to maintain the legal relationship.’
The documents also alleged Kanye had ‘been non-responsive’ to attempts made by Kim to ‘move the case forward to a speedy and amicable resolution.’ The filing also said Kim would agree to ‘any conditions’ the court wished to put in place for her to divorce Kanye.
The latest legal filing comes amid Kanye’s social media war with Kim’s new boyfriend, Pete Davidson.
