Kardashian filed for divorce in February after nearly seven years of marriage.
At the time, sources told PEOPLE that neither the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star or West are contesting the prenup in place and they are nearing a settlement.
The split between West and Kardashian came after a tumultuous period for the pair, who appeared to be on the brink of divorce last summer before reconnecting and spending private time together with their children.
In January, however, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE that Kardashian had been working with high-profile divorce attorney Laura Wasser and planned to file for divorce. "They are just not on the same page when it comes to their future as a family," one insider said at the time. "And Kim is okay with it."

Amid the divorce, Kardashian has continued to live in the $60 million Hidden Hills mansion she shared with West, while the Yeezy designer has been back and forth between L.A. and his ranch in Wyoming.
"Kim plans on staying at the Hidden Hills house with the kids. This is their home and Kim doesn't want to move right now at least," one insider previously told PEOPLE.
"They both agree that the less stress the kids experience, the better. Kanye loves his kids. He wants them to be happy," the source added. "He doesn't want to fight with Kim about anything."
