Kim Kardashian officially declared legally single in divorce from Ye

Mar 4 2022

After nearly eight years of being married to Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, Kim Kardashian has been declared legally single.

Following a virtual court hearing on Wednesday, the reality star has officially dropped ‘West’ from her last name. The divorce from the rapper was filed last year by Kardashian, making the request in December to become legally single. The former couple still has to resolve the division of property and custody of their four children.

Wednesday’s ruling granted the model’s request for a bifurcated divorce, which means that divorce proceedings will be split up into two parts. The first settled her legal name and married status, with the second part addressing custody and financial assets. In several statements submitted since December, Kardashian said she very much desired the termination of her marriage. ‘I believe that the court terminating our marital status will help Kanye to accept that our marital relationship is over’ she said.

Ye himself, 44-years-old, fought the separation publicly but was not present for the hearing. Appealing for his ex-wife to return to the marriage, the rapper also constantly took jabs at her current fiancee Pete Davidson. This, Kardashian said, caused emotional distress. In fact, the rapper posted a video for his new song Eazy which apparently shows an animated version of Division being kidnapped and buried. Ye and Kardashian had kicked off relationship in 2012 and married just two years later.

Robert Abela pledges move towards scrapping of homework for students

Mar 3 2022

After a meeting with Malta’s teachers’ unions, Prime Minister Robert Abela has sustained the Labour Party’s promise to move towards an academic framework where homework is not required.

The Prime Minister held that he and his party will commit to debate on a “national level” with regards to the distribution of homework and students’ free time. At yesterday’s Labour Party event, Abela highlighted that it is important for youth, especially at a young age, to participate in extra-curricular activities and the homework decision may be backed by that.

Reiterating that education is one of the Labour Party’s main pillars going into the general election, Abela also pledged to see to the installation of air conditioning systems in schools across Malta and Gozo, calling it an “extensive investment” in modernising the country’s classroom.
