On Thursday, Kevin Costner and estranged wife Christine Baumgartner argued in court. She argued she needed more upkeep to support their three children in a luxurious lifestyle. He argued against it and was right.
In tears, Christine Baumgartner argued in a Los Angeles court that she needed more money from her estranged husband, actor Kevin Costner. The former designer wanted $175,057 a month in child support from Costner. To date, she has been getting $129,000 a month. Costner originally argued he only wanted to pay his mother $60,000.

Now the actor was right. According to “TMZ” he does not have to transfer Baumgartner $175,057, nor the original amount of $129,000. Instead, he was ordered to pay $63,209 a month in child support. A far smaller sum than Baumgartner had demanded. For the mother, the result should be a disappointment.
She had asked for more because the luxurious lifestyle was “in the DNA” of the three children together, argued lawyer John Rydell in the interest of his client. According to “People” in the courtroom flipped through evidence photos, impressions of the family’s daily life, and sobbed. “It’s so much more than this — it’s an experience,” she said. Her three children are “very connected to the sea – it’s their home,” she said.

“Christine is making this application to uphold these principles of family law and to ensure that the parties’ three minor children continue to enjoy the lifestyle made possible by Kevin’s substantial income and wealth,” the statement said court documents. The fact that Costner is solvent is clear to the other side. His’ various accounts and facilities as of June 30, 2023 [verfügen] totaling $17,293,117 in cash equivalents, providing him with ample funds to pay his attorneys’ fees and costs for both parties as well.”
From now on, Baumgartner has to try to support the luxury lifestyle with 63,209 dollars a month.
