MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. - Rap superstar Eminem has reached a divorce agreement with his wife that gives them joint custody of their 5-year-old daughter.
The couple worked out a temporary divorce agreement last week that also gives Eminem their $450,000 home, the rapper's lawyer said. His wife, Kim Mathers, would receive $475,000 in cash to purchase a house.
The couple agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their daughter, Hailie Jade.
Mathers and Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, married in June 1999. Kim Mathers filed for divorce March 1, following a reported two-month attempt at reconciliation.
Harvey Hauer, Eminem's attorney, said the proceedings were "not contentious at all."
"It was easily arrived at because each person was concerned with the family and concerned with the well-being of their daughter," Hauer told The Detroit News in yesterday's editions.
Eminem won three Grammy awards last month. He also pleaded guilty last month to carrying a concealed weapon, a charge that stemmed from a fight last summer outside a Macomb County bar. He is scheduled for an April 10 sentencing.
