Divorce Lawyer Predicts How Kim And Kanye's Split Will Go Down

As Kim Kardashian and Kanye West move along in their divorce proceedings, Nicki Swift spoke with divorce attorney Peter Stambleck, who gave us his expert take. "A long, drawn out divorce would be counterproductive and both Kim and Kanye have to protect their brands," Stambleck explained. "From a business perspective, that's the most important goal in what will be the most publicized divorce since the ongoing feud engulfing Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt."

Kardashian and West have a prenup, as TMZ reports, which will ease the tension considerably. "With the finances covered by the prenup... the main issue requiring resolution will be custody of the children, parenting time and related matters involving their adorable kids," Stambleck added. Prenups, he explained, cannot cover child-related issues or visitation rights, so that will be up to Kardashian and West to come to an agreement on what's best for their children. If they cannot agree, there will likely be a custody dispute.

But Stambleck also addressed the emotional toll this is having on Kardashian and West. "Regardless of a couple's wealth, there are emotions and feelings involved," Stambleck noted. "By all accounts, the two love each other and making the monumental decision of getting a divorce is never easy, even when the handwriting is on the wall. I suspect they will do what many other divorcing couples do, throw themselves into their considerable work." It's never easy, but at least Kardashian and West have the legal part in place to make the process as simple as a divorce can be.
