In a surprising twist, actor Kevin Costner managed to reduce his child support payments to ex-wife Christine Baumgartner during their contentious divorce battle. A judge recently ruled that Costner would only have to pay Baumgartner $63,209 per month, significantly less than the $175,057 she had initially requested. This comes after Baumgartner accused Costner of withholding financial information, which was later deemed untrue by the court.
The legal drama between Costner and Baumgartner began earlier this year when they filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences after 18 years of marriage. As part of the divorce settlement, Baumgartner was seeking substantial child support to maintain the same lifestyle for their three children. However, the judge’s decision in favor of Costner means that he will now pay a reduced amount each month.
During his court appearance, Costner was questioned about his financial situation and his earnings from his successful TV show “Yellowstone.” He revealed that he earns $1,468,953 per month from the show, shedding light on his ability to provide child support.
One of the major points of contention in this divorce battle was the value of the couple’s beachfront property. Baumgartner claimed it was worth between $75 million and $95 million, while Costner argued that it was merely comparable to his own property. When asked if he would switch homes with his ex, Costner dismissed the idea, citing his emotional attachment to the home he raised his children in.
Throughout the proceedings, rumors circulated that Costner had a personal vendetta against Baumgartner and wanted to make her life miserable. However, these claims have not been substantiated, and Costner maintains that this divorce is not about revenge but rather the legal process of ending their marriage.
With the judge’s ruling, it seems that Costner can breathe a sigh of relief as he navigates the complexities of divorce and ensures the well-being of his children. This battle may be over, but the emotional fallout from the divorce is likely to linger for both parties involved.
