Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Kevin Mazur/Getty This month, Kardashian requested to be legally single and filed new documents to move the separation along. In her latest filing, she is seeking to have child custody and property matters be separate from her marital status. "[Kardashian] has been attempting to settle this manner since she filed her Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in February 2021," court documents, obtained by PEOPLE, stated. "[Kardashian] and her counsel have reached out to [West] and his counsel several times in an attempt to move this case forward to a speedy and amicable resolution. [West] has been non-responsive." Additionally, the documents said "the parties' marriage has irremediably broken down" and Kardashian "no longer desires to be married" to West. "There are simply no compelling reasons not to grant a motion to bifurcate and terminate marital status in this case," the filing declared. But a source said West isn't "giving up without a fight," though Kardashian has recently moved on with Pete Davidson. "Kim is the mother of his children and he's not going to just let that go," the insider said. "No matter if they're husband and wife, they'll always support each other. Her recent filing or any filing for that matter doesn't mean he's going to stop fighting to win her back." Recently, West made multiple public pleas to get his ex back. Among the latest included a recent performance of his song "Runaway" at the Free Larry Hoover concert, during which he dedicated the track to her.
