Kanye West  has parted ways with his latest family law attorney, as the legal battle continues more than a year after the model filed papers to end their marriage.

At a hearing in Los Angeles on Friday, Judge Steve Cochran granted attorney Samantha Spector’s request to officially step down as Kanye West’s lawyer.

When she asked about her withdrawal from the case in May, Spector, who is a well-known Hollywood divorce lawyer, stated an “irreconcilable breakdown” in the relationship with the rapper.

According to new court documents, Kanye West has hired a new, Pennsylvania-based lawyer, Deborah Hong.

Meanwhile, The Kardashians star, 41, is represented by Laura Wasser, another top celebrity divorce lawyer.

Kim filed for divorce from the Yeezy founder in February 2021. At the time, he was represented by family law attorney Christopher Melcher.
