Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been seeking marriage counseling, and we know that the subject of their divorce was surfacing for much of 2020, but they haven't given up yet.

Our sources close to the family tell us that, their marriage was in deep trouble for the last half of 2020. We're also that told Kim was ready to file the divorce and end their marriage at one point but it was when Kanye was going through a serious bipolar episode and she felt it was cruel to do so when he wasn't well.

The couple has been living separately for a few months now with Kanye spends most of his time in Wyoming while Kim has been in Calabasas with the kids. They were concerned with personal business projects and didn't focus on getting to the conclusion.

Kim has gone back and forth, at times thinking divorce was the only option but other times believing there was a chance to save the marriage. That's why they took a family vacation late last year to see if they could set things right again.

Everything was put on hold for the Christmas holidays, but now the issue is front and center. Kim had had disco queen Laura Wasser on retainer for years for various reasons, and the subject of divorce was discussed months ago, but Kim never gave the green light to file.

Her uncertainty is understandable, with 4 small kids. They got married in May 2014.

We've been told that no final decision has been made as of yet, but they've been in counseling for a while.

Our sources have reported that their issues have been neither contentious nor ugly, but they do have lots of differences from lifestyle to politics. They are, however, fully aligned on parenting their 4 kids.
