Kim Kardashian seen for the first time after judge grants bid to restore her maiden name in bitter divorce from Kanye West as it’s revealed custody agreement will ‘likely be informal’

Kim Kardashian has been pictured for the first time since it was revealed she is officially single again amid her contentious divorce battle with ex-husband Kanye West.

On Wednesday, the 41-year-old Hulu reality star was seen stepping out on the same day that a Los Angeles judge ruled in her favor, granting her request to be declared legally single immediately and settle child custody and money issues later.

‘As crazy as the divorce has been, the custody issues for the most part have been handled peacefully. Whenever Kanye’s in L.A. and wants to see the kids, Kim has facilitated it. They can always go back to court if it becomes acrimonious, but for now things have been peaceful.’

Yesterday, Kardashian — wearing a black blouse and her hair swept back — appeared via video at a court in downtown LA.

West, 44, did not appear in person nor via video.

Judge Steve Cochran granted her request to have her maiden name restored, and he denied West’s motion to prevent Kardashian from transferring ᴀssets out of trusts set up during the marriage.

The feuding couple, both billionaires, had their high powered attorneys in court Wednesday: Laura Wᴀsser for Kardashian and Samantha Spector for West. Spector was only appointed last night after West fired his previous lawyer.

Judge Cochran began today’s hearing by asking Kardashian how her four children by the hip hop star and producer — North, eight; Saint, six; Chicago, four; and Psalm two — are doing.

‘Everybody is doing OK,’ she responded.

Asked by the judge if she was ‘showering her children with affection,’ she replied, ‘Absolutely.’

She added, ‘We’re having so much fun.
