Overview

  • Kevin Costner offered his estranged wife about $52,000 a month in child support, but she says she needs at least six figures to support herself and their three children.
  • A judge ruled that Costner's estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, and the kids had until the end of July to move out of their shared home.
  • Baumgartner filed for divorce on May 1 after 18 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.
  • Costner claims that Baumgartner was refusing to leave the home despite a prenuptial agreement stating that he would keep the property in the event of a divorce.
  • Costner argues that he can only afford to pay $51,940 a month in child support, citing his decreased income, but Baumgartner claims the children are accustomed to a higher lifestyle that requires more support.
