Kevin Costner’s estranged wife Christine Baumgartner is seeking $248,000 in monthly child support payments, according to recently filed court documents.
The former handbag designer alleges the figure “is less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle,” per a report from People. Baumgartner also requests that Costner continue paying 100% of private-school tuition, extracurricular activities and sports, plus health-care expenses for their three children. The couple was married for 18 years before filing for divorce on May 2.
They share two sons, Cayden, 16, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 13.
The documents state that Costner’s 2022 income was $19,517,0641, per the report from People. There was also a breakdown of the family’s expenses totaling $6,645,285, which included travel, entertaining, catering, and upkeep on multiple properties.
This brought their income after expenses and taxes to $7,595,520.
Baumgartner was refusing to leave the former couple’s residence despite a clause in their prenuptial agreement mandating that she do so within 30 days of a divorce filing, The Daily Wire previously reported.
The documents laid out terms for the “Yellowstone” actor to pay $38,000 a month in child support plus provide “100% of certain child related costs, including private school tuition, books, fees and uniforms and school trips, children’s sports, camps and other agreed upon extracurricular activities.”
Costner would also pay $30,000 monthly toward a rental home for Christine and $10,000 toward moving costs. His total estimated net worth is $145 million.

Maybe the old bag needs to go back to designing handbags.
Costner is producing his own western series. Looks like he's got a big, swelled ego.
Taylor Sheridan breaks silence on Costner feud, ‘God complex’ allegations
K. Did not know they were married that long.
She and the kids can exist just fine in a 3/2 ranch house on a middle class income like 99.999% of the rest of the country.
Why should she and the kids get a windfall just because he makes $16,000,000/year? She's left the marriage, she can pay her own way by getting a job like the rest of us. Since when is offspring automatically entitled to free stuff just because their dad is rich? They should be supported with their basic needs but why should they live like the King of Siam? It's his money, not theirs, and certainly not the ex-wife's.
“Kids must eat a lot.”
For that much money they could be coke fiends.
This type of crap is why marriage rates are way down, men are just refusing to marry when they know they're just a target for a legal system designed to fleece them.
That's why we need millions of immigrants to keep our economic system intact.
Why is divorce so expensive...
It’s worth it...
The Blow [HBO] turned down Yellowstone.
HBO also took issue with fan-favorite character Beth, played by Kelly Reilly, 45, Sheridan said.
“We think she’s too abrasive,” execs at the premium cable network said, according to Sheridan.
“‘We want to tone her down. Women won’t like her.’ They were wrong,” said Sheridan. “Because Beth says the quiet part out loud every time. When someone’s rude to you in a restaurant, or cuts you off in the parking lot, Beth says the thing you wish you’d said.”
I’m surprised Costner has gotten any leading roles since Water World, 1995, and The Postman, 1997, two of the biggest Hollywood bombs of all time. On the other hand, she has a real skill, handbag designer.
KC financed that business according to the prenup. It failed. Then we hit the unemployment line. She has worked in 18 years.
And people were saying Hunter Biden was paying his ex stripper friend a giant amount of 20K a month for his daughter.
You don’t know what he makes. Her attorney go the number from People Magazine not a financial authority. He took all the risks she took none. Wirhout his anhd his companies’s tax returns, loan documents etc, you can say what he made.
Notice that he is doing exactly what the prenup requires of him. She wants him to stub his toe and she grabs ownership the real estates.
