Lonely lady! Kim Kardashian was photographed for the first time since it was revealed that she is officially single again amid the controversial divorce proceedings with her ex-husband Kanye West.
Meanwhile, it was revealed on Thursday that their custody agreement “is likely to be informal”.
“Kim will be the main base and Kanye can see his four children whenever he wants,” a source told TMZ on Thursday.
“As crazy as the divorce was, the custody issues were resolved mostly in a friendly way. Whenever Kanye is in LA and wants to see the kids, Kim does. They can always go back to court if there is resentment, but so far everything has been peaceful.
Yesterday, Kardashian – with a black blouse and slicked-back hair – appeared on video in court in downtown Los Angeles.

New era: Kim was seen out after being declared legally single by a judge following Wednesday morning’s court hearing over her divorce from the 44-year-old rapper
“We’re having so much fun”: Kim confirmed to a judge yesterday that she was showering her children with love during her divorce.
West, 44, did not appear in person or on video.
Judge Steve Cochran granted her request to restore her maiden name and rejected West’s request to stop Kardashian from transferring assets from trusts created during the marriage.
The feuding couple, both billionaires, had powerful lawyers in court on Wednesday: Laura Wasser of Kardashian and Samantha Spector of West. Spector was appointed only last night after West fired his former lawyer.

Judge Cochran began today’s hearing by asking Kardashian how her four children are with the hip-hop star and producer, North, eight; Saint, six; Chicago, four; and the second psalm – correct.
“It’s all right,” she replied.
Asked by the judge if she “loved her children”, she replied: “Absolutely.”
She added: “We’re having so much fun.”
The couple married in 2014 and have four children. She filed for divorce from Kanye in 2021.
After asking Kardashian to raise her right hand to take the oath, Judge Cochran asked her a series of five questions:
Is everything in your petition true? “Yes,” she replied.
Did you live in Los Angeles for at least six months before filing for divorce? – Yes.
Has your marriage been irretrievably destroyed? – Yes.
Will counseling save your marriage? ‘No.’
Is this your desire to get unmarried status? – Yes.
With a smile, the judge told Kim that it was his practice to see photos of children involved in his trial.
But in this case, he added, he did not want to see the photos, “to protect children’s privacy.” Is it good for you?
“Yes, your honor, thank you,” she replied with a smile.
Vasser told the court that he “does not believe that there can be disagreements between the star couple over the custody of their children.”
But she and West Spector’s lawyer ran into obstacles on two other issues.
The first was Kanye’s request to prevent Kim from transferring assets from any trust, a request that Kim responded to because of their existing prenuptial agreement, which already divides their trusts and assets.
Vasser told the court today that Kim “is using these trusts for her business and freezing her assets … will create problems.” This will prevent her from doing business.
The second point of contention was West’s request to Kim to “renounce marital privileges.” Renunciation of marital privileges would mean that all their communications would no longer be private, but would instead be part of court records.
Vasser called the request “unprecedented” and accused West of trying to “prevent or hinder Ms. Kardashian’s remarriage” in the future.
Judge Cochran denied West’s attempt to prevent Kardashian from withdrawing money from his trusts and also rejected the rapper’s request for waiver of marital privileges, telling the court: “The law does not support this condition.”
The judge scheduled the status and pre-trial hearing for August 5th to hear arguments from both sides over financial issues and custody of children remaining to be resolved.
In recent weeks, West has begun attacking her boyfriend Pete Davidson on social media. West, who was not present at the hearing, did not object through his lawyer, but asked the judge to transfer the funds to be divided between them to the other partner if one of them died, to which they agreed.
Kanye was not completely deprived of love after the separation. his new girlfriend Cheney Jones showed off her amazing curves last Sunday when she went out to a solo dinner at Carbone in Miami.
After speaking in court, Samantha Spector, the fourth divorce lawyer representing West in the lawsuit, issued a statement to “dispel some misinformation”.
“Kanye’s documents have always shown that the problems with his divorce [are] only procedural,” she said, before saying her client would make any “official” comments at the time. “Furthermore, he has always supported divorce only if Kim satisfies the procedural requirements for protecting rights under [California] law – the same rights that are granted to every judge going through a divorce.”
She continued: “Today it was established and brought to court that Kim initially did not have the appropriate documents to obtain a separated marital status. As mentioned in our statement yesterday, Ye focused all his attention on his children.
The new legal status of the Kardashian family means that West is also legally unattached, and a source close to the rapper said that he also wants the divorce to continue, although this does not fit into his tactics of dragging the court or his public statements. to experience his way. the wife returned

She filed for divorce in February 2021 and the couple initially looked on the same wave, but in recent weeks West has started attacking her boyfriend Pete Davidson on social media.
He has also repeatedly published text conversations that appear to be with his ex-wife, including a conversation in which she wrote: “Why can’t you keep our personal conversations ???”
“Because I received a message from my most beloved person in the world,” he allegedly replied. “I’m your number one fan. Why don’t I tell everyone !!!! ‘
Kardashian does not seem to have any desire to postpone the divorce, but her ex has repeatedly stated publicly that he hopes to win her back.
The former West had previously filed documents claiming that his latest social media posts were filled with “misinformation” and she claimed that their attacks on her and her friend Pete Davidson had caused her “emotional breakdown”.
“I believe that the court that ends our marital status will help Kanye accept that our marriage is over and move forward on a better path that will help us raise our children peacefully,” Kardashian wrote in the documents. filed on 23 February. , according to Rolling Stone.
West’s lawyers said Kardashian would have to prove that he personally wrote the messages, although they do not appear to deny directly that he wrote them in his own documents.
“Kim claims to have read something on the Internet that is said to be from Kanye and described the reports in her statement as misinformation. Social media posts are not attached to the app. Kim had to offer social media posts as evidence and show that the posts were written by Kanye, his lawyers wrote, adding that Kardashian’s allegations were “double rumors”.
Mixed messages: The rapper filed to have Kardashian’s complaints about his social media posts ruled inadmissible, claiming she hadn’t proved he wrote them, but he previously posted on Instagram that his account was ‘not hacked’
Relentless: Kardashian begs him over the text: “Why can’t you have our personal conversations ???” and he replied, “Because I received a message from my beloved in the world.”
Although West’s lawyers seem to doubt whether he is responsible for his social media posts, he appears to have taken steps in his publications to present himself as the author.
In a recently deleted Instagram post, the rapper shared a photo of himself holding a yellow notebook with the caption “My account has not been hacked” and the date “2 13 22”.
The title of the publication includes the recognizable breathtaking style with capital letters, which followed many of West’s recent publications.
“MY ACCOUNT IS NOT A HACKAN,” the caption repeated, noting that West would take his children to Sunday services and then to the Super Bowl.
