Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have finally finalized the terms of their divorce settlement after months of public feuding.
Despite the two being legally separated for some time, the two have now managed to agree on several stipulations in how they will raise their children.
According to court documents seen by TMZ, Page Six, People and Rolling Stone, Ye has agreed to pay his ex-wife $200,000 every month in child support.

They're also committed to 'equal access' to their four children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
Ye and Kim have agreed to each fund half of their children's educational and security needs.
The divorce settlement has also seen the rapper and businesswoman waive spousal support.
When it comes to divvying up their assets, that was already decided upon in their pre-nuptial agreement.
The agreement brings to a close a very long drawn-out chapter in the pair's life.
Kim originally filed for divorce back in February last year after seven years of marriage.
In an interview with Vogue, she explained how her decision to split from the controversial rapper came from a desire to be happy and put her own happiness first.
“For so long, I did what made other people happy,” she said
“And I think in the last two years I decided, I’m going to make myself happy. And that feels really good.
"And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy.
"I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you.”
While there was a desire to be happy, it certainly hasn't been smooth sailing for Kim since the divorce was confirmed.
Ye used social media to air messages between him and the Kardashian clan in a bid to disclose what he believed was a concerted effort to keep him away from his children.
He's also raised concerns about his kids using social media and repeatedly called on his ex-wife to protect them from certain apps.
Hopefully that will be a thing of the past as part of their divorce settlement requires Kim and Ye to channel any issues about raising their children in mediation.
One stipulation says if one party doesn't show up to mediation then the other is free to make a decision on the issue and it's binding.
That will ensure both Kim and Ye resolve their problems with an expert and in private.
