Eminem divorce final

DETROIT, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- The divorce between rapper Eminem and his wife has been finalized, with the Grammy winner agreeing to pay $1,000-a-week in child support and shared custody of his 5-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade.

Marshall and Kim Mathers were wed in 1999 and separated in August 2000. The divorce was finalized by Macomb County Family Court Judge Donald G. Miller last week, court records showed Tuesday.

The settlement is less than half the $142,280 recommended by the Friend of the Court. Eminem's lawyer, Harvey Hauer, said the resolution was amicable.

Kim Mathers, 25, filed for divorce in March, just two months after the couple reconciled and Eminem dropped divorce proceedings.

Earlier this year, Eminem was sentenced on a weapons charge stemming from an incident outside a Warren, Mich. nightclub after he saw his wife kissing another man in the parking lot.

Eminem's music has been criticized by gay and women's groups for its violent and homophobic lyrics.
