Details of divorce settlement between Kim Kardashian and Ye emerge
Kim Kardashian and Ye have reached a settlement in their divorce, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles.
The former couple will have joint custody of their four children, who are aged between three and nine years old.
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, will pay Kardashian $200,000 (£166,000) per month in child support – and they will equally split the cost of their children’s private security, private schooling and university.
Neither will pay the other spousal support, and they will each pay their own debts.
The court documents filed on Tuesday were asking for a judge’s approval of the terms, which have been agreed by the former couple.
Ye and Kardashian had a prenuptial agreement and had kept their property largely separate.

It comes eight years after they married in the Italian city of Florence in 2014, and almost a year after Kardashian first filed for divorce.
In March this year, a judge declared them legally single at her request.
They appeared to be heading for a cordial split – but Ye has lashed out on social media against reality TV star Kardashian, her family, and then-boyfriend Pete Davidson.
He complained he was not being allowed to make important parenting decisions and was being excluded from his children’s milestones, such as birthday parties.
Kardashian called his attacks “hurtful”, accusing her former husband of making co-parenting “impossible every step of the way”.

Ye, a 45-year-old rapper who has fired two lawyers since the divorce filing, had wanted the right to question any new husband of Kardashian’s under oath, which a judge rejected.
News of the settlement comes with Ye’s reputation having been battered by his offensive and antisemitic remarks, which prompted several companies to cut ties with him.

Man who died after being pulled into MRI machine was wearing 9kg weight-training chain, wife reveals
A man who died after being pulled into an MRI machine in New York was wearing a large weight-training chain around his neck, his wife has said.
Keith McAllister, 61, entered a room at the Nassau Open MRI clinic while a scan of his wife’s knee was under way.
The machine’s strong magnetic force drew him in by the 9kg metal chain around his neck, according to Nassau County Police.
His wife, Adrienne Jones-McAllister, said she had called out to her husband to help her off the table.
“I yelled out Keith’s name, [shouting] Keith, come help me up,” she said in an interview with News 12 Long Island.
She said her husband entered the room wearing the chain, which he uses for weight training.
“I saw the machine snatch him around and pull him into the machine,” Ms Jones-McAllister said as tears streamed down her face. “He died, he lost, he went limp in my arms.”
Police said that the accident last Wednesday “resulted in a medical episode” and left Mr McAllister in a critical condition in hospital.
Ms Jones-McAllister said her husband had suffered a series of heart attacks after he was freed from the MRI machine. He was later pronounced dead.

MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The machines use strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body.
Due to the magnetic fields, “very powerful forces” are exerted on objects made of iron, some steels, and other magnetic materials, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering says.
It says the forces are “strong enough to fling a wheelchair across the room”.

It is not the first time someone has been killed by an MRI machine in New York.
In 2001, six-year-old Michael Colombini died at the Westchester Medical Centre when an oxygen tank flew into the chamber, drawn in by the MRI’s 10-ton electromagnet.
