Kardashian and West will share physical and legal custody of their four children, North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3.

West will pay Kardashian $200,000 per month in child support and will also be responsible for half of the children's medical, educational and security expenses.

Both Kardashian and West waived spousal support.

E! News said the settlement was uncontested and in accordance with the former couple's prenup.

Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage.

In September, West apologized to Kardashian for "any stress" he's caused since their split during an interview on Good Morning America.

"This is the mother of my children, and I apologize for any stress that I have caused, even in my frustration, because God calls me to be stronger," he said. "I need this person to be less stressed and of best sound mind and as calm as possible to be able to raise those children at the end of the day."
