Kanye West's divorce from Kim Kardashian is bouncing back and forth, and there's a good risk he'll lose full custody of their four children.
According to The Sun, the "Donda" hitmaker canceled a scheduled deposition in the lawsuit just weeks after being cooperative and giving over his finances.
Kanye, who officially changed his name to Ye, was supposed to be grilled by Kim's attorneys on November 16, but he did not show up.
The next night, he was seen having a good time with conservative right-winger Milo Yiannopoulos. While leaving his temporary opulent residence at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, the Grammy-winning rapper was photographed drinking a glass of champagne.
Despite ignoring the deposition, Kanye has one more opportunity, or he'll come to regret avoiding the law.
According to court filings, he has one final opportunity to be questioned by his ex-legal wife's team on November 29, which Ye's attorneys have also consented to.
However, if the 45-year-old "All Of The Lights" rapper does not appear again, it could have major ramifications for custody of their children, North, nine, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, three.
Family law expert Lexie Rigden explained to the outlet "If Kanye fails to show up to his deposition, the Judge might discipline him monetarily, make him pay counsel costs, and if it is a significant enough discovery breach, the judge may be able to prevent him from putting on a case at trial."
The lawyer, who is unrelated to the case, added that because of the rapper's actions and unreasonableness, "anything may be in question, from custody to asset allocation."
Though the two are already extremely affluent, the custody of their four children will be the most significant issue.
Previously, it was rumored that the SKIMS mogul is willing to grant her ex-husband 50/50 custody, which he posted online, indicating that Kim has 80% of the time.
Meanwhile, Kanye and Kim's divorce trial is set for December 14, according to TMZ. However, the erstwhile power couple may still reach an agreement before the trial.
When he turned over his finances earlier this month, the "Famous" rapper appeared to be on the same page, indicating they were close to settling their never-ending divorce. However, that plan was dashed when Kanye failed to appear for the deposition.
