Amidst all the drama he’s stirring up in Kim Kardashian’s life as of late, Kanye West is now attempting to block his ex from being legally declared single ahead of their divorce being finalized.

Kardashian filed for divorce last February, but hammering out the details in front of the court has yet to happen. As such, her lawyers requested in December that she be legally declared single prior to those happenings, as working out custody and splitting belongings with West is expected to drag on for some time.

West’s lawyers have thrown a wrench in things as of last week, however, requesting that the motion be denied so that she can refile and address certain requests.

“Terminating marital status before custody, property, and support issues are resolved creates a risk of adverse consequences,” they argued. “This is especially true if one of the parties were to pass away while the case is pending. An early termination of status also creates barriers to obtaining evidence if a party remarries before the case is concluded.”

While this seems somewhat reasonable on the surface, when taken in the greater context of West constantly disparaging Kim’s new boyfriend, Pete Davidson, and her parenting skills in the public eye, all while claiming he’s desperate to win her back, it’s difficult not to read it as just another concerning bid for control over her life.

F him, he’s basically trying to keep a foot in her life. Dude’s got money, he can get his own damn health plan. This is some abuse crap. https://t.co/hjA49W0uiq

Mental health issues do not give you the right to be a bully. And I don’t understand why people are giving this man a free pass to be an absolute asshole. All. The. Time.

He’s shown how vindictive he is numerous times & I hope this judge tells him to shove it. https://t.co/qz212CIUEK

“But West is fighting to stop it from happening—and would like to remain on Kim’s health-care plan for the time being” this is psychological abuse. Kanye can pay his own bills and he doesn’t take his medication.

Straight up abuse via the courts. God this is awful. Kanye needs to move on. I hope Kim and her kids stay safe.

West’s very public harassment of his ex, her new boyfriend, and his daughter have sparked an ongoing conversation about manipulative and controlling behavior, as more and more people come to see the rapper’s outbursts for what they are.

Kanye is just showing the world how scary it can be for a woman in Kim’s situation. Now imagine someone not having security, financial independence, or a way out.

Kim K could literally have 100 divorces and what Kanye is doing still wouldn’t be okay

The public abuse and harassment Kanye is targeting at Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson is no laughing matter. This is dangerous, obsessive, stalker level shit. https://t.co/tM0sMmQVNF

I’m glad she has security because we’re about 3 seconds away from the news cycle being full of pundits pressuring her to talk to him. He keeps trying manipulate the court of public opinion. https://t.co/5yav9ugtMI

There is nothing remotely funny about what Kanye is doing to Kim. Idc if you don’t like Kim. We are witnessing real-time stalking, harassment and abuse and people are laughing about it. I don’t understand why at all.

A hearing regarding Kardashian’s request to be declared single is scheduled for early March.
