What Did Kim Scott Receive in Her Divorce From Eminem?
When the pair divorced in 2001, Eminem – real name Marshall Mathers – kept their marital home which was worth $450,000 at the time, while Kim got $475,000 to purchase her own home, Rolling Stone reported.
The former couple share a daughter, Hailie Jade, who was born on December 25, 1995. The “Lose Yourself” artist wanted to make sure their child had a place to live when she was with each of her parents.
“Marshall’s obviously pleased with the agreement. He feels it’s only appropriate because he’s had this significant role in his daughter’s upbringing to date, and that’s going to be ongoing,” Eminem’s attorney Harvey Hauer told Rolling Stone.
After the initial settlement, arbitrators suggested Eminem pay Kim a sum of $2,740 per week, or $142,480 per year in child support. He felt the amount was too much, while Kim felt it was too low, as she was unemployed at the time.
MTV reported in October 2001 that the Oscar winner agreed to pay his estranged wife $1,000 per week in child support for Hailie.

I was happy to help out. … As often happens with troubled children, Kim told some pretty tall tales. I looked on Kim as a challenge, someone I hoped I could give a better life to.”
After more than a decade together, Eminem and Kim married on June 14, 1999.

After their 2001 divorce, the pair shocked fans when they reconciled in 2004 and remarried in January 2006. Three months later, Eminem filed for divorce. The terms of their second divorce settlement were not disclosed.
While the duo had their ups and downs over the years, Kim revealed in 2016 on the Mojo in the Morning radio show, “We’re really close friends, we’re just trying to raise our kids together and make it as normal for them as possible.”
