The divorce between Lee, 33, and Russell Simmons, 51, has been finalized, with huge payouts for the model/fashion designer.
Simmons has agreed to pay child support for daughters, Ming, 9, and Aoki, 6, of $20,000 each per month until the girls turn 19, according to court papers filed Thursday in Los Angeles.
Lee also won sole legal and physical custody of the girls, with monitored visitation for Simmons.

“When the children are in custody, they shall be accompanied at all times by a nanny and security person,” the filing reads.
The documents also specify exactly how long Simmons will have to make the payments:
“Child support in the amount of Twenty Thousand ($20,000) Dollars per month per child continues as to each child until a child is emancipated, reaches the age of nineteen and one half years (July 21, 2019 for Ming Lee; February 16, 2022 for Aoki Lee), dies, marries, becomes self-supporting, is no longer residing with , joins the armed forces, is otherwise legally emancipated, or until further order of the Court, whichever occurs first.”
The president and creative director of Baby Phat has sole physical custody of the girls, and Simmons will be able to see them for pre-arranged visits.  Simmons will be able to see his daughters every two months, besides holidays such as Father’s Day and his birthday.

According to the documents, “the children shall be with every eighth week from Saturday at 9:00 a.m. until the following Saturday at 6:00 p.m.”

Lee and Simmons separated in March of 2006 and filed for divorce this year citing irreconcilable differences.
