Kevin Costner has recently filed new divorce documents requesting that his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, acknowledge the validity of their premarital agreement (PMA). The documents, obtained by Fox News Digital, include a “memorandum of points and authorities” which states that Christine has “refused in bad faith” to address her concerns regarding the premarital agreement. In addition, Kevin Costner has asked for reimbursement of $14,237.50 in attorneys’ fees and costs. The request for a response from Christine within seven calendar days of the November hearing date has been submitted to a Santa Barbara court.
Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner filed for divorce in May after being married for 18 years. They have three children together. Costner has three children from his previous marriage, as well. This legal action is being handled by Laura Wasser, a well-known celebrity divorce lawyer. The argument made by Costner’s legal team is that Christine had the opportunity to address her concerns about the premarital agreement during the discovery process in May. They argue that her refusal to answer questions about the agreement is unfounded and claim that her objections are frivolous. The purpose of their request is for Christine to admit that the factual representations made in the premarital agreement are true.
Costner’s team also argues that Christine has misused the discovery process by failing to respond to requests and opposing motions without substantial justification. They emphasize that Christine has not disclosed all of her contentions regarding the validity of the premarital agreement, despite the trial being only three months away. They criticize her objections, stating that she claims not to understand ordinary words such as “understood” or “negotiation.”
Costner has been ordered to pay Christine $129,755 per month in support, although she initially requested $248,000. Furthermore, Christine was required to move out of their $145 million estate in July, in accordance with the terms of the premarital agreement. Joint custody of their children has been requested by both parties, with a judge ruling that Christine cannot remove any items from the property they once shared, except for toiletries, clothing, handbags, and jewelry.
A new hearing date has been scheduled for September 6th, and the official date of separation cited by Baumgartner is April 11th. The couple’s children are Cayden (16), Hayes (14), and Grace (13).

In summary, Kevin Costner has taken legal action to address his estranged wife’s refusal to acknowledge their premarital agreement. He has requested reimbursement for attorneys’ fees and costs and a response from Christine within seven days. The couple is currently going through divorce proceedings involving child custody and property division.
