Kanye West, Kim Kardashian Divorce: Ye Hires Country's Top Lawyer in Latest Move to Escalate Divorce
When it comes to seeing his children, Kanye West is taking no chances, as he hired one of the country's top attorneys to handle his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
According to recent legal documents obtained by The Blast, Ye brought in Samantha Spector to represent him in the ongoing divorce, indicating that he is unwilling to gamble his children's custody.
The legal move comes as the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star attempts to escalate the "status" of the couple's divorce - and become legally single regardless of whether their property or custody issues have been settled, per The Blast.
Ye has been very vocal about his issues with Kim K. as well as having access to his four kids. The issues began after Kim referred to herself as the children's "main provider and caregiver," prompting West to retaliate quickly.
"What do you mean by the main provider?" The "Donda" rapper wrote.
He continued that the country of America witnessed Kim K. attempting to "kidnap my daughter" at Chicago's birthday party by failing to provide the address.
Ye Hires Samantha Spector To Deal Divorce
It appears that Ye and Kim Kardashian were at odds when the rapper was allegedly denied full access to the children. Enters the scene is Samantha Spector.
Spector, who has been practicing law for over 20 years, is the Founder of Spector Law, a professional law corporation that exclusively focuses on family law matters.
The divorce lawyer's diverse clientele ranges from musicians, athletes, high-net-worth individuals to some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, including Dr. Dre's ex-wife Nicole Young and Amber Heard against Johnny Depp. In both cases, she navigated nasty allegations of abuse and complex financial concerns involving multimillion-dollar assets.
Kanye's decision came on the heels after Kardashian filed legal paperwork claiming her former husband's Instagram posts are causing "emotional distress."
In the filing, Kim is asking for a judge to order the marriage over while the former couple sorts out their remaining issues. The founder of the Skims wrote in the documents, "I very much desire to be divorced."
Throughout February, Ye, 44, has called out Kardashian on his 14.7 million-follower Instagram account for allowing their 8-year-old daughter, North, to be on TikTok, among a slew of other comments regarding their co-parenting troubles.
The Yeezy founder has also repeatedly made jokes and threats to Kardashian's new partner, Pete Davidson, on social media and in the lyrics of his new music.

Kim Will Not Be Able To Control The Situation - Kanye West Claims
When there are no additional issues in a divorce proceeding, California's family law courts are known for granting 50/50 custody.
Kardashian will find it tough to govern when and where Kanye may see his children. In any case, Ye alleges that her security or legal team will be unable to control the situation.
The former couple will most likely agree on a timetable, or a court will make one for them, according to reports. It does not appear there will be any concerns between the parties moving ahead on the matter, including reinstating the reality star's name back to "Kim Kardashian" from "Kim Kardashian West."
Kim and Kanye are scheduled to appear on Wednesday in a Los Angeles courtroom to discuss the "status" situation.
