In a Santa Barbara courtroom, Christine Baumgartner, the estranged wife of actor Kevin Costner, appeared before Judge Thomas Anderle for a ruling on their child support agreement. The judge determined that Costner will pay Baumgartner $129,755 per month in child support for their three children. Initially, Baumgartner requested $248,000 per month, while Costner offered $51,940 per month. An evidentiary hearing was granted, and until then, both parties will be responsible for 50% of their children’s healthcare expenses and extracurricular activities.
Baumgartner, accompanied by her legal team, including attorney John Rydell, appeared in court wearing a stylish outfit. Costner’s representation, led by Laura Wasser and Jacqueline Misho, attended on behalf of the actor, who was on vacation with his children.
Rydell proposed combining the trial dates regarding the validity of the pre-marital agreement (PMA) with the child support ruling, but Misho argued that the two issues do not coincide. However, due to scheduling constraints, Judge Anderle was unable to add additional dates to the trial calendar.
During the support ruling, Costner was ordered to pay $200,000 in attorney’s fees and $100,000 in forensic costs. Payments will be made monthly on the first of each month, with credit given for sums paid between July 1 and July 12.
Baumgartner initially filed for divorce from Costner on May 1, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple has three children and both requested joint custody. Costner also filed a motion for Baumgartner to cover $99,225 in attorney’s fees and costs related to litigating the prenup.
Kevin Costner was previously married to Cindy Silva for 16 years before their divorce in 1994, with Silva receiving an $80 million settlement.
In conclusion, the child support agreement between Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner was determined in a Santa Barbara courtroom, with Costner ordered to pay $129,755 per month. The couple’s ongoing divorce process includes discussions of their pre-marital agreement and attorney’s fees.
