Divorce can be expensive for both parties. This is said to also affect Kevin Costner’s still wife.
Kevin Costner’s (68) wife Christine Baumgartner (49) is said to be paying part of the cost of the actor’s divorce attorney. . Accordingly, a judge has determined that the 49-year-old must pay a total of 14,237.50 US dollars (about 13,300 euros).
According to the report, Costner incurred the costs while trying to get answers about her understanding of the marriage contract. There are apparently differences about the document.
Quarrel over money for the children
Just a few days ago, Baumgartner suffered a defeat in court. Kevin Costner will reportedly be paying “only” $63,209 a month in child support. That was determined by a court, according to “People” magazine. According to the report, the “Yellowstone” star was granted his proposed amount after a two-day negotiation in Santa Barbara. Baumgartner had apparently demanded much more.
In July, according to US media reports, Kevin Costner was provisionally sentenced to make monthly payments of $ 129,755 (about 120,000 euros) to the mother of his three children Cayden (16), Hayes (14) and Grace (13). . Later, Christine Baumgartner is said to have filed a request to increase this amount to $175,057 (approx. 162,000 euros). She allegedly reduced that amount to $161,592 (about €150,000) during the trial, according to People magazine.
