Kanye Asks for Joint Custody, Just Like Kim Kardashian, In Divorce Case - TMZ

Kanye West filed his answer to Kim Kardashian's divorce petition, and it's basically a mirror image of his estranged wife's legal docs.

joint custody doesn't automatically mean a 50/50 split, and it's likely Kim will have the kids the lion's share of the time.

Kim did not list a date of separation on her divorce docs.

Our sources say Kim and Kanye hardly spoke in the months preceding the divorce petition, but it seems things are calmer now.
