Christine Costner’s Wild Declaration Of Divorce Released

Bloodsucking CUNT!

I hope Kevin Costner destroys her and sends her to the poor house.

I think she has a point and deserves much more than he is willing to pay. They were married a long time, she gave up her career for him, and there are 3 children. Plus, she gave him her best years. If she were to go husband hunting again, her odds would not be so great, unless she found a creep who wanted to monetize the children. Kevin needs to pay up to prevent that from happening and to acknowledge it was a real marriage.

While for most 38,000 dollars a month would be a fortune, for her it would be lower than poverty level if she were to attempt to sustain her lifestyle for her and the kids.

$38K a month! I thought it was a one off sum of $38K which did seem a bi t thin

Getting that a month is different. Does she get any property in the current deal?

How much cooking and cleaning is she really doing with 3 full time domestic workers? A "House manager", a cook and maid? Oh, and how was she "duped" into marrying the most famous actor in the world? And then feels betrayed and abandoned when he has the nerve to...work.

She married a FUCKING ACTOR! She just recently realized that he has to go on location for months at a time when filming?

His lawyers are tempting fate by playing hardball like this in the press.

#TeamKevin

They both seem vile and coldly calculating to me. And neither one gives a shit about their kids. #TeamNobody

Do they live in Santa Barbara? Guess I didn’t realize that.

Kevin is "losing the PR battle" because of the underaged children.

Christine is "raising 3 underaged children" with Kevin away most of the time in a 145 million dollar home in SB that she does not own. The House Manager works& gets paid by Kevin. Christine was married,turned into a baby machine; Kevin has been cheating from the beginning of the marriage. He wanted a "West Coast Stepford wife". AND FOR 18 YRS, HE HAD ONE LIVING IN SANTA BARBARA.

The Kevin cheating rumors will be starting soon, she better have great Divorce attorneys, Get a forensic accountant-court order to go through his finances( I bet he is hiding $$$ from his wife and children) Get a subpoena to go through the Yellowstone accounting books(both sets). Plus whatever studio co. he is using for Yellowstone& his production companies he formed to produce Yellowstone. You wanna "Fuck up Kevin's world, Fuck with Yellowstone and go after his $$$$" And find his future 3rd wife.

Why do people get married?

R2 Bullshit.

She didn’t give up her career, she retired.

It’s not 1945.

The Kardashians are billionaires and have 1,000 children.

I remember people gave Kim shit for calling women lazy. This, in her world, is exactly who she was talking about.

$38,000 per month is $456,000 per year. That’s basically a middle class income in California. That’s not enough to maintain the lifestyle she and her kids have been made accustomed to during her eighteen year marriage to him.

She’d be a fool not to fight this, and prenup or not, any decent divorce lawyer will get her more.

[quote]Get a forensic accountant-court order to go through his finances( I bet he is hiding $$$ from his wife and children)

Money and possibly other kids. He tried to sweep at least one paternity misadventure under the rug, fathering a son not long after his first divorce and denying responsibility until a DNA test held him accountable. Afterward he offered financial support but wanted nothing to do with the boy, whose socialite mother later married a Koch brother.

She signed. the prenup.

Is there something that I'm missing?

Is she claiming she had a gun to her head at the time?

R15, $456,000 per year is not a middle class income in California or anywhere in the US. DL is often so full of BS.

38k is not enough for 3 fucking teenagers! they eat that amount alone in food bills. plus clothing and pocket money etc lots of other expenses

I would think the prenup is ironclad and he’ll set up trusts for the kids that she cannot access.

R19 must be talking about those $50,000 California kids birthdays that were reported.

R3 My friend lives in a house in a nice village in Westchester (3 children) and she is in the midst of a divorce. I helped her find an attorney and I do most of the calls with her. It has been a real eye-opener for me in terms of the process and strategy.

My friend's house is in disrepair. I have helped her determine what their monthly budget had been. It can seem astronomical because the annual land/school taxes alone are almost $40K and then the annual mortgage is higher. $7,000 a month before you even get into all the other things. Totals more than $20K a month so yes, whatever is going on with the current Mrs. Costner, $38,000 for child support is absurd. He just has a great lawyer who is starting out at an extreme. Hopefully she does, too.

Meanwhile, isn't Costner a billionaire? I thought Dances with Wolves made him rich beyond normal actor/producer bounds.

she doesn't have a lot of help. I think her situation is pretty normal, nothing too crazy.

The New Yorkers I know have a nanny for each kid. if they have 4 kids, it's 4 nannies.

Tatanka caca.

My heart bleeds for her. I hope she gets everything she so richly deserves and can live another day!

He wants to save his pennies to finance another wife. Otherwise, why not be generous with your money when you're pushing 70 and have 3 kids under 18?

I get being stingy when you're building your career but I don't understand people who hoarde wealth into old age when there's plenty to go around and you won't be on earth much longer.

[quote] I think she has a point and deserves much more than he is willing to pay. They were married a long time, she gave up her career for him, and there are 3 children. Plus, she gave him her best years.

SHE SIGNED AN IRON-CLAD PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT.

What's not to understand about this?

The greedy skank is breaking every part of their contract, and he should have her ARRESTED for not leaving the "compound," because that was part of the agreement, should they separate/divorce.

Women always do this.

They sign a contract, then they break it (using the "poor me and my young children" defense) and this is why men end up having to throw their shit out of the house, and end up looking like the bad guy.

Fuck her!

[quote] The Kevin cheating rumors will be starting soon, she better have great Divorce attorneys

This stupid slut is the one who was cheating.

Her live-in lover Daniel STARR was LIVING at Costner's house, on the compound.

She was the one who was sleeping around, and the "Kevin is always away acting" bullshit is just an excuse she gave in the divorce filing.

I can't wait until THAT little tidbit comes out in divorce court.

This cunt needs to just take the money, and go away, or she'll end up with NOTHING.

[quote] 38k is not enough for 3 fucking teenagers! they eat that amount alone in food bills. plus clothing and pocket money etc lots of other expenses

You have got to be fucking kidding.

This puts her in a higher income bracket than the majority of Americans, you dumb fucking twat.

You must be a woman.

R27 Kevin? Take a nap or go visit a whore (not the masseuse you sexually assaulted on your honeymoon, a real whore) and seek therapy. Your rage at having to pay for your young children and daughter aged ex is showing.

Oh please...as if he doesn't cheat.

But I would love to give him a massage. happy ending included. he's hot for his age.

Spoken like a true frau cunt at R28.

He's offering to pay her exactly what she agreed to, when they got married. She signed a legal and binding contract.

Even though she deserves absolutely NOTHING, for cheating on him with Daniel STARR.

But I guess the fact that she has a TWAT makes her exempt from having to abide by a legal contract.

You stupid cuntard.

R30 are you okay?

R30 is a methed-out Kevin Costner. Go to bed, Kev.

[quote]"Our children's lifestyle has been supported by a house manager who supports and assists with the logistics of the children's activities, b. A person who assists with grocery shopping and meal preparation; and c. A housekeeper who assists with cleaning and laundry."

So WTF does this bitch do all day? We know she's not working.

She's sleeping with this guy...

Can you blame her? He's pretty hot

the guy is younger and probably last longer in bed. Kevin is old and probably has no energy

He also doesn't look like he has hair transplants. Natural beauty for the win.

Fucking that guy is one thing but having him move into the house is another matter completely. pretty outrageous.

An angry exchange erupted into a legal dispute, with Kevin and his wife trying to turf ­Daniel from their £50,000-a-month beachfront guest house.

But Daniel, who signed a 12-month lease in June last year, claimed to have done nothing wrong and refused to budge, sparking a flurry of emails and legal letters.

Handbag designer Christine has since filed for divorce from her husband of 19 years.

Last week it emerged Oscar winner Kevin has claimed his estranged wife has left him “homeless” by refusing to move out of the £115million property in Carpinteria, California.

A source said: “Daniel was really happy living in the house. It’s right on the beach and he has a four-year-old son who he wanted to feel settled.

“After he moved in he became close friends with Chris and Kevin. They’d hang out together with their kids. But Kevin was always away filming, so Chris must have been lonely.

“Chris and Daniel hung out a lot. She would come into his house almost daily.

“But there was a fallout and Kevin got wind of it. There was a row between him and Daniel and things escalated from there.”

**************

Verdict? The cheating SLUT wife is guilty.

She deserves nothing.

She’ll find another ATM to latch onto.

Boo fucking Hoo. $38K a month is plenty. She may have to move. Tough shit.

She's just another money grubbing slag.

how much rent is that guy paying? 50k a month? no way

If Costner wasn't so egotistical he'd join his wife and her hot boy toy in a threesome. Pity.

R39 is clearly a straight man

At least she has a solid career to fall back on. Designing handbags.

Costner was pretty stupid to move in a younger stud while he left for months at a time. Playing with fire

I'm having a hard time feeling bad for Kevin Costner. He's got millions. Throw a little money at the old pussy while you move on to the younger pussy. Don't be a big pain in the ass about it. Just do it. Also, since you're dumping your kids on her, and I think we all know you're going to just check in a little at best, even more reason to compensate her.

Just spread the wealth, and try to keep the whining to a minimum. Thanks.

What's irritating is Costner didn't earn his wealth either, he just got lucky. If he was 5 inches shorter or a different ethnicity or nationality he'd be a nobody.

Men who earn their money through hard work and intelligence and ingenuity deserve to keep every penny. Not this overpaid buffoon.

Kevin is dreamy.

This divorce is the most interesting thing Costner ever produced!

I know “popcorn” jokes are stale, but still, I’ll take mine doused in real butter.

Kevin is hot. he's good looking in a bland way and thus very successful in many different types of roles. I like him. I would gladly have sex with him even if he's old.

Kevin's cheating, and Christine knows it!! He has been cheating throughout the entire marriage.

Follow the $$$$ and you will find the "Yelowstone slut" he banging on the side.

Never leave the Martial home in a divorce-Go Christine! She is "guaranteed 50% of everything" that was made during the marriage(including 50% of Yellowstone profits). Even if the pre-nup holds up, she is guaranteed that $$$$ that was made during the marriage. Get a forensic accountant to search his entire banking history, find the hidden $$$. Get the tax returns for the last 18 yrs(guaranteed that as the wife) My boss today on video conference told me we should be involved in and on Christine's side. He reminded me what I did to Miss Cruise during the Nicole-Tom Divorce. Good times!!

When you marry for money you EARN every penny.

I know....I did that. And I signed a pre-nup!!

5 children the natural way, 12 yr marriage.

I did very well in the divorce

That looks like Rachel Marron's house at r39!

Phillywhore is a woman?????

You're a woman R54?

R41 $38,000 a month for the child support for three minors (three rich kids) is ludicrously low. Usually tuition is not in that child support number (and is separate) so let's assume it is not:

-Private Security

-Meals

-Clothing

-Local Transportation

-Medical Expenses

-Dental Expenses

-Extracurricular Activities (Sports team expenses, music lessons, dance, etc.)

-Travel

-Tutors, Coaches

-Incidentals / Toiletries / Entertainment

I'm not even trying hard with this list and it ads up to about $275,000 a month for three kids

If tuition needs to be added, that would mean about another $225,000 + a year for three high school kids...so about $295,000 a month.

Damn, r58, the world you live in is very nice, but also completely idiotic. Seriously, I am actually LOL at $275,000 a month is barely adequate, if you stretch it and maybe clip some 3-for-1 bodyguard coupons.

By the way, can't Kevin Costner just moonlight as his kids' bodyguard, now that Whitney is gone.

Women like this are naive. When they sign the prenup, they are all googly eyed in love, and can’t imagine a future divorce.

He’s going to alienate his kids with this public feud over their support. But as stated above, he doesn’t give a shit. He strikes me as a total workaholic.

Phillywhore is a woman? Do tell!

My god, you're not only an idiot, but you're a complete and total retard.

There is absolutely NO evidence of Kevin cheating, but there is concrete proof that the CUNT is cheating with the guy who is renting from Kevin.

Show the receipts of the "Yellowstone slut" he is banging. Because you won't find any.

But you'll find lots of dirt on his rancid CUNT of a wife who was cheating on him, and now wants to take all his money. Like all disgusting females do.

And she is NOT "guaranteed" 50% of everything.

That's for Californians who marry WITHOUT a prenup. You fucking brain dead cunt.

R62 are you okay?

So what? She married him for money and now it's time to collect!

She pushed three kids out for him, make the fucker pay.

There’s way too much misogyny in this thread but a prenup is a prenup. Unless he somehow forced her to sign it or he broke the terms (which she isn’t claiming) I don’t see how she has a leg to stand on here.

Her argument doesn’t make a lot of sense. He was a movie star/director who was away a lot on sets, decades before they married. Nothing about that has changed.

Child support is NOT for the spouse, but for the children.

He's divorcing the wife, not the kids. In ALL divorces, where there is no paternity fraud, both spouses are responsible for paying to maintain the standard of living as close to what the children had during the marriage.

I see no reason why he should pay so little if the children had been accustomed to a certain standard of life unless there are other facts about which we are not aware. Wanting to put you dick in strange is not a reason to make your kids downgrade their lifestyles.

The kids are almost 18. Christine better hurry up.

$38,000 per month is nothing for Kevin Costner, he's worth hundreds of millions. What an asshole to do that to his kids. Fuck the gold-digging whore of an ex-wife, but the kids deserve a lot better.

Christine you better get the receipts girl! Have him show you the receipts!

I can’t decide. Are they both massive assholes? All signs point to yes. Also, how fucking TACKY that they are both being so public about it. What Christine, you think you’re the first woman to go through this? Are we supposed to feel pity? And what Kevin? You think you look good trying to strong arm the mother to your three children so publicly? It isn’t a good look asshole.

I do agree that it’s amazing that women break these agreements, I just don’t understand the “lifestyle I’m accustomed to” argument. Poor people don’t get a choice, so why should they? I’m SERIOUS. We either believe all people deserve to be at choice, or we don’t, it cannot be separated by class.

I think many of our most legendary posters might actually be women fyi. Just my gut.

$38,000 per month is pretty easy to live on if you don’t have a house manager, housekeeper, and personal shopper/cook on salary. Other than spending time with the kids, I’m not sure what being a “full time housewife and mom” constitutes in this scenario.

What I will say that’s critical of Kevin here, though, is that this is why you should not continue to trade in for younger wives and have more kids again and again. This is his third baby mother. His oldest kid is 39. There is no reason he should still have kids who are minors at his big age.

Is Philly whore really a woman? It seems unlikely that a woman would refer to herself as Phillywhore

R74, Is that you, Dr. Jill?

[quote] She pushed three kids out for him, make the fucker pay.

This is all women are worth.

Pushing babies out of their twats.

Congratulations, females!

Really, I look at it as the kids have become accustomed to certain things and way of life, so let ol’ daddy o’ fork over the cash. I’m sure the marriage went south because of his wandering dick, anyway.

Christine is rather plain looking. Why is it always the horsey, plain, unemployed ones who are so entitled?

Of course Kevin is also an asshole.

R76 you are bizarrely invested in this. No one is saying it's all she's worth. They are saying that she spent the better part of 20 years birthing and raising their 3 kids while her geriatric husband fucked around on her and now she wants to negotiate more child support.

Are we talking about his huge ranch in Aspen?

[quote] she spent the better part of 20 years birthing and raising their 3 kids while her geriatric husband fucked around on her

You have absolutely NO proof of this.

You are the one invested in making the MAN pay for this useless cunt.

And by the way, there's proof that SHE is the one who cheated, not him.

You male hating feminazi cunt face.

R81 is off his meds again

If Phillywhore is a woman, and had five kids, I don’t believe she was Katie Holmes’ divorce attorney.

Now, I believe s/he is a troll.

To each their own but if I’m living in a $145 million compound with three fulltime employees doing all the household work and my husband isn’t even there to cramp my style for about 1/3 of the year then he can fuck whoever he wants up in Montana as long as he doesn’t bring home any STDs. If I’m lonely I’ll just cuddle up to a pile of money

As I stated earlier, Costner deserves to be soaked for his money just for sheer stupidity.

What r84 said.

I understand why men who have no intention of being monogamous to their spouse, nevertheless, like to be, and want to be, married.

A legal spouse is your buffer against messy entanglements.

You make it clear to your side-stuff you're fling material and have no intention of leaving your marriage. The boundaries are set and understood.

And if you're really smart about it, you make damn sure you've gotten a vasectomy.

Kevin Costner from the Bull Durham era is my perfect man.

Well this just isn't true (her claims). It is not legal to address child support in a prenup. So there is no agreement precluding the kids from more money. the problem is she doesn't NEED child support because he pays for everything and will likely continue, all of the house employees, their private school, the chef. Joint custody, he will still owe child support but probably not $250k a month.

Any guy worth more than a year's salary should have his head examined before ever getting married.

Why would they even want to?

R87 wins the thread.

Exactly!

This is what the feminazis shitting all over this thread, don't understand.

It's like females are Pavlovian DOGS who only see $$$$$$$ signs, when a rich man comes along.

And even when they sign a legal and binding legal contract, they STILL don't abide by it.

Because that's just what women do.

Oh, and the reason she is filing now is because the kids are close to the age of majority so she has to get what she is going to get soon. Kevin said he wasn't going to continue Yellowstone, his income will be measured by the most recent years. She wants the award based on this income and not the lower income when he isn't working anymore.

You know, r89, cretinous, dead, disgusting, Reich-wing Repug Rush Limbaugh made famous the word "feminazis".

That tells me something about you that you'd use it.

This should be interesting. Why is he playing hardball like this? His image was pretty good up until now.

OP is the one using the feminazi language.

He is also EDWlN.

[quote] Why is he playing hardball like this?

Because she's a cheating slut grifting whore who won't move out of his house, even though their pre-nup agreed that she would move out of the house in the event of a divorce.

A divorce that SHE filed for.

[quote] Kevin Costner says his estranged wife Christine is refusing to pack her stuff and leave their home despite the clear terms of their prenup ... claiming he's already given her well over a million bucks to find a new place.

[quote] According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kevin says according to their prenup, Christine had 30 days to vacate the home he owns when she filed for divorce on May 1, but she still hasn't left.

The post at R94 reminds of a different poster today in another thread who claimed gay men don't call women whores.

R90 makes a lot of sense especially considering the timing of her filing. My theory was that that’s what she was really mad about — that he was quitting the show and wouldn’t be raking in the megabucks anymore.

Kevin Costner says his estranged wife Christine is refusing to pack her stuff and leave their home despite the clear terms of their prenup ... claiming he's already given her well over a million bucks to find a new place.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kevin says according to their prenup, Christine had 30 days to vacate the home he owns when she filed for divorce on May 1, but she still hasn't left.

The docs say Kevin's now asking for the court to get her out, and adds she shouldn't be able to stay in the house ... only using her position as leverage to make Kevin agree to her "various financial demands."

Kevin claims he's already given her a whopping $1.2 million per his obligations under the prenup -- and says overall, the amount he's shelled out has grown to around $1.45 million ... money she now has available to lock down a new place.

The docs even say he'd be open to contributing as part of his child support obligations $30K per month for a rental house and is willing to advance another $10K for her moving costs.

As we reported, Kevin insists he owns all 3 of their homes, and their long-standing prenup -- signed back in 2004 -- specifically stated she had to fully vacate upon filing for divorce.

TMZ broke the story, sources familiar told us Christine's filing last month was a huge shock to him -- adding it was a pretty devastating move ... so something like this might be giving Kevin an even bigger headache.

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner Have a Prenup in Place — Decades After His $80M First Divorce

The pair requested joint custody of their three kids in their divorce filings, which make note of a prenuptial agreement

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner had a prenuptial agreement in place prior to the recent divorce filing.

The actor's wife filed for divorce on Monday after 18 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the breakup, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE.

In her filing, Baumgartner, 49, listed their date of separation as April 11, and she requested joint custody of their three children: Cayden, 16 on Saturday, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13 next month.

Costner, in his response filed Tuesday, also asked for joint custody and cited irreconcilable differences. The actor/director's filing also mentions a prenup, in regards to spousal support, legal fees and properties.

A source tells PEOPLE that divorce wasn't Costner's idea: "It was not anything that he wanted or sought, and if he could change the situation, he would."

The "separate property" his legal team listed include: "Miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects; earnings and accumulations of Respondent before marriage, during marriage, and from and after the date of separation; [and] there are additional separate property assets and obligations of each party as mandated by the parties' Premarital Agreement."

They also add, "Pursuant to the terms in Paragraph 9.A. of the parties' Premarital Agreement, Petitioner to vacate Respondent's separate property residences."

Costner was previously married to Cindy Silva for 16 years before their divorce in 1994 — which reportedly resulted in an estimated $80 million settlement to his ex-wife.

The pair got married on Sept. 25, 2004. In a statement Tuesday, Costner's rep said, "It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action. We ask that his, Christine's, and their children's privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time."

In November, Costner told PEOPLE about raising a family with Baumgartner. He said at the time, "The house is prettier because of her. Everything is warmer because of her. There's these little things that she does — and I think it's the power of love — but that she makes her home that way."

The actor added of what he learned from fatherhood, "The world doesn't revolve around you. It just doesn't revolve around you. I work as a provider. I'm a father and I'm a husband, but it doesn't revolve around me."

To R83, Phillywhore is a man, my ex-wife pushed out 5 children, including 2 sets of twins.

I never said I was Katie Holmes's divorce attorney, her father was and he was brilliant at getting Katie& Suri away from Miss Cruise& his crazies zealots.

I was brought in by Nicole Kidman's divorce attorney's because they needed a "killer forensic accountant attorney" who knows numbers-where to hide $$$. Also to deal with Anthony Pelicano, the private investigator with no moral code(anything for the client and the win). He was there for Miss Cruise& Scientology. I have the same moral code (get the win).

BTW, I never signed a NDA, but thats over anyway!!

I forgot, Nicole broke the pre-nup she signed with Miss Cruise, Katie did not attempt to break the pre-nup, she wanted full physical custody of Suri, keep crazy Miss Cruise& his crazy religious loonies away from from Suri. Katie had "blackmail material" on Miss Cruise, so I'm sure Fagola threw money at her to shut her the fuck up(along with Scientology).

A few million per year per kid is chump change to Costner. The real issue is he wants her out of the house, which is well within his rights, and she is stalling. She did not think this through before filing.

So....she didn't really do much to manage the household, led a life of luxury, then fucked around on him (first time? second time? for many years with different men, who knows?) -

then SHE files for divorce and wants to stay at the same level of living that she had contributed nothing to?

I'm sorry - anybody with any sense can see what this woman is all about.

Reverse the genders and women would be screaming about how awful that man is - but because she's a woman, some of you will defend her til the end to take every dime her lying and cheating ass will take.

This is the worst of female behavior - time and time again. Thank GOD he had a pre-nup. Now he has to make sure those 3 kids don't get turned against him by this CUNT. And she WILL DO IT. Guaranteed.

Set the bitch up in a condo in Century City and be done with it, bitch doesn't need that huge overpriced house.

Phillywhore is a breeder? Why is he on a gay site?

So he has three homes?

Bitch, stop whining about this one then. Let everyone just stay put. And yes, pay it for it, you cheap whore.

I do feel bad for the kids having to “step down” their lifestyle.

They live in Carpinteria but that’s basically a slightly more chill version of Montecito. AKA not an easy place to have reduced circumstances.

Plus they’re bound to be shocked by the divorce itself.

One does wonder why men marry these useless types. It suggests low self esteem. Why not go after someone who’s his equal? Sharon Stone? Demi Moore?

Yeah, two celebrities in the family always works out great.

It's why Ben Affleck is gonna kill himself by the end of the year.

Kevin Costner will choose another non-celebrity and may even get another decent run out of the whole thing. But when the time comes, try to have a sense of class about the whole thing and don't get all "prenup" about that shit. Just pay a few extra bucks and move the fuck on, you cheap bastard.

Also stop breeding. It's just tedious at this point. Don't be yet another old Hollywood fucker who just has to be daddy and grandpa at the same time.

r106 a lot of men don't want an independent wife with her own career.

[quote] But when the time comes, try to have a sense of class about the whole thing and don't get all "prenup" about that shit. Just pay a few extra bucks and move the fuck on, you cheap bastard.

Oh, give me a fucking break.

When it comes to rich women with money who marry guys with no money, the FIRST thing on their agenda is a pre-nup.

So go peddle that shit somewhere else.

When it's a woman's money, she's "smart" for protecting her assets with a pre-nup.

When it's a man's money, he's "greedy" for protecting his assets.

Fucking hypocritical cunts.

I was just wondering whether he'd do the same thing as DeNiro and Pacino: have another family.

R105 it’s a $145 million property that represents about a third of his total net worth, it’s not like she’s set up in a two-bedroom rancher in Idaho. She has no right to the property. She’s gotta go.

R106 because most men are egotistical and insecure and want a women with less power and status than them. This is even more true of men who are rich, famous, and power-hungry.

Never been married or divorced, but I remember when my friend was getting his divorce (she was the wealthier one with family money) his attorney advised him to not move out of the house. He moved into the guest room. I can't remember why his attorney advised him to do this, but it worked out in his favor.

To R104, OP, I am really beginning to Hate you!

I am a DGWM(divorced gay white male) who raised my children in La Jolla.

You wouldn't like me when I get angry!

R104 is NOT the op.

FYI R114.

I’m not the OP.

The hateful, homophobic, misogynistic EDWlN is the OP.

R110, Costner has a second family with her. He has much older children with the first wife.

R113 is correct, never leave the marital home

#1 in divorce-stay in the home, especially if u have underaged children.

BTW all your comments cum from you and ur multiple personalities at DL, did throw Momma from the train.

Your DL brain must be on overload, but Thanks for the books recommendations

But looks like he tried to sell this Carpenteria property in 2017 - for $60 million.

If she won't leave the home, then he should sell it and take all the money.

By the rules of the pre-nup, I'm sure he can do it.

Just absolutely fuck her over.

R123

I swear, they filmed some scenes from Season 1 of "Fear the Walking Dead" at this location!

R123 perhaps he doesn’t want to sell until the kids are grown? He filed for joint custody, I’d assume he’d like them to live there at least half of the time.

R125

I suspect that's some drama he's not looking for r123. Her and the kids handcuffed to the front porch while the sheriff shows up, shortly followed by TMZ.

R129

$38,000 a month would be neat

R130

It worked on Miss Cruise in the divorce deposition when we were discussing $$$$ and Scientology(hiding his millions thru his psycho religion).

Asking about his 1st divorce from Mimi Rogers, and about the spaceships& has he seen then yet(when are they arriving on Earth). My ability to piss people off , well I like it...it's fun!

I can't help but feel sorry for the teenagers (regardless of how privileged they are, or what they've been accustomed to). No matter what a court decides about child-support, they'll be damaged by this nasty, public-fighting. My parents weren't public figures, but the fighting during their separation & divorce (which coincided with my teen years) absolutely took an emotional toll....because they constantly talked shit about each other, and tried to turn me against the other & choose "sides". I can't imagine how awful it would have been if one of them had been a very famous public figure.

I'd LOVE to be Kevin's Yellowstone Slut!

And probably the spurs as well, you whore, r134!

My sister married a himbo. When they separated, she moved out and left all the furniture and furnishings (which she had paid for.)

She did this because she didn’t want their child to notice a difference in lifestyle when visiting daddy on the weekends. She knew her husband— even if he had the money—would have no idea how to go about buying furniture and they’d end up eating on the floor or something.

I don’t see why Kevin can’t bend a little to keep the kids in a stable environment. Kids are cynical these days, but they would be traumatized by leaving their home abruptly.

Kevin gave her a million dollars to find a replacement home? That’s a joke. 2BR condos in Carp are 1.5M.

A couple of points I didn't see mentioned above:

1. The kids are of an age where they can decide with which parent they want to live. Joint custody, if granted, does not mean 50-50 time. If the kids live with Costner, they will maintain their lifestyle, and the overwhelming majority of their expenses will have been covered by dad. When they are with mom, $450,000 a year will definitely provide a roof to go with the bread and water.

2. The $38,000 per month for child support could be on a per-child basis. That would mean the ex gets about $1.3 million a year for the next few years. Add that to what he already gave her to find new housing, and she might, just might, be able to find a small apartment somewhere far from the coast that she could afford.

Sorry if my points are slightly biased against the soon-to-be-ex-wife, but I have no patience with people who sign legal documents and then try to weasel out of them later.

R136 was your sister’s house worth $145 million? I’m guessing probably not

My sister’s house was probably the same % of her net worth that Costner’s is (of his.)

The difference is my sisters husband eventually bought her out, but it took YEARS.

I don’t see why Miss Kevin is in such a hurry.

If she wins prenups are meaningless and guys will not be marrying the 2nd or 3rd trophy thots.

R139 He’s worth $400 million and $145 mil of that is this property. If your sister gave over a third of her assets to her ex, I wouldn’t say he was the dumb one.

And Costner’s wife can never pay him back that amount of money. This is a ridiculous suggestion. She is not entitled to this property and she signed a legal agreement confirming that.

That property is huge. They could both live there and probably never see each other.

[quote]if your sister gave over a third of her assets to her ex, I wouldn’t say he was the dumb one.

Read it again.

[quote] And Costner’s wife can never pay him back that amount of money. This is a ridiculous suggestion.

Do you know the meaning of the words “the difference is” ?

The point— which was quite clear— is you do what you have to do to ease the transition for the kids.

R143 he’s given her money he didn’t legally have to give her, he’s offered to pay additional rental fees, what more is he supposed to do? He is not obligated to house her in the lap of luxury forever when she is the one who filed for divorce.

I don't give two shits about the divorce.

I just read that Phillywhore is a woman!! What???

Then I read Phillwhore is a daddy five times over! What???

What a rollercoaster of emotions for me R121. I've always had a small DL crush on PW. And now that I know he's a true, actual baby maker? That crush has grown to DL lust. (I have a thing for gay men who are dads.)

What's a Phillywhore?

R146

What was wifey thinking when she signed a prenup granting her no alimony, no home and only one million dollars and change should she divorce? From a multi-millionaire no less. And then she has 3 kids with this Scrooge?

Obviously the big turd didn't want to get married in the first place and was likely shocked she agreed to his terms. If they didn't have kids I would say tough luck lady, anyone could see what kind of miser he is from space. But throwing out a mom of 3 kids from the family home after 18 years with barely enough money to buy a shack on the freeway might be grounds to invalidate the prenup as unconscionable, no matter what grift she was planning when she signed it. The fact that she initiated the divorce is irrelevant in a no fault state. Costner wants joint custody but is gone 4 months out of the year so he should wait til the youngest is 18 and then kick mommy to the curb if he cares about the kids at all.

This is why I would hate to have my fate decided by a jury. Many of the posters here are not comprehending the law and the situation and the legal strategy and are instead “going with their guts—guts tempered by their own humble experiences and lots of “I wouldn’t do that” and “that doesn’t sound right.”

R148 sounds like her divorce lawyer. Save it for the judge; there is no jury in divorce cases.

Due to inflation and real estate prices rising so rapidly, much has changed since she signed that prenup. For instance, Kevin tried to sell this same place for 60 million only about 6 years ago, and it wouldn't sell because that price was too high at the time for the market. Now, the same market values that house at 145 million! This means the million she agreed to in the original contract is worth far, far less that it was when she signed. It is reasonable for her to seek adjustment due to this, and it would be reasonable for Kevin to accommodate within reason, especially considering how much he earned on his projects, investments, and increased equity during the marriage.

Yeah, Costner should fork over to her what it takes to finalize and put this behind him.

Go Away has a price, and it’s one worth paying.

As it is now, and, as entertaining as the media has been, DEFCON Zero Divorce isn’t in the children’s interest, nor his or hers.

R152, I think it is the wife, who is suing for the divorce, who insists on squatting on the dream coastal retreat. Maybe she should back down?

Some billionaire would buy Costner’s Aspen home.

If he unloads that, there’s the financing to settle this thing, child support included.

Of course, if I were an adult child of his first marriage, U’d keep a curious eye on all of this.

His eldest child is now almost 40. Imagine that.

Here are three of his kids from his first marriage.

And three more from the second marriage.

I've read that he has seven kids, so I'm not sure about the missing kid.

The 4th is another daughter.

Three girls, one boy from marriage number one.

Two boys, one girl from marriage number two.

R151 prenups don’t adjust for inflation or relative net worth. He also doesn’t have the same income potential that he had 20 years ago, but that’s also irrelevant. She agreed to a specific dollar amount of spousal support and she agreed to vacate the house; she signed that contract. It doesn’t matter if he’s worth more or less than he was when they signed. That is the whole point of a prenup — she is not entitled to enhanced benefits based on assets he has acquired during the marriage.

One of the mistakes that people signing prenups make is not to get their own attorney to read and negotiate the contract before signing anything. They just sign whatever is put in front of them, because they are in love. Don't sign the first thing they put in front of you, make a counter offer. Treat it like a real business deal.

r156 r157 r158

Sorry, but I find this insulting. There are MILLIONS of teenagers who thrive without any problems in spite of the fact that their father isn't going to give them $38k PER MONTH in child support. That is almost half a million dollars per year, which is A LOT. The vast majority of families do not have that sort of money at their disposal and they do just fine. By saying these things, she is coming across as a shamelessly greedy, arrogant and self-centered bitch - yes, Kevin Costner is extremely wealthy, but he worked for it and had to take risks with his career in order to become so successful. Everything could have just as easily gone awry for him, but he was lucky and this woman married him when he was already rich and famous. Her only contribution to the marriage was opening her legs, because it's not as if she had swept floors or waited tables to financially support him while he was trying to make it. She married him when the difficulties had already passed and his career was consolidated.

Also, she whines about the fact that he is away 4 months every years and that makes her feel lonely? This woman is an imbecile. There are women who barely see their husbands and children because they work all day long in order to pay the bills and keep a roof over everyone's heads and yet, she whines because she had to drive her children to after-school activities while three servants did everything for her, while 'feeling lonely'? I'm sorry to say this, but she is a vile, selfish and repulsive cunt who is completely out of touch with reality.

I agree that Kevin could be gracious and buy her a house on top of paying for their children's education, a domestic assistant and providing her with a reasonable monthly pension, but her demands are ridiculous. She doesn't need $250k a month in order to live decently. What a despicably greedy sow.

1,000,000 WWs for R162!!!

r163

Why should she get all that crap? Besides pushing out a couple of kids, what did she do to contribute to his wealth?

I hate her already

Costner has a kid, Liam, from a brief relationship. He was forced to take a DNA paternity test and supposedly set up a trust fund for him but doesn't see him.

R166 He paid 7 million for that one.

Here you go, R166.

And Liam is HOT!

Why is the wife divorcing him, anyway? She doesn't allege abuse, just "loneliness," and Costner quit Yellowstone at least in part because she gave him an ultimatum. He was making $1.5 million per episode! But she didn't like him being away so much.

She lives in an oceanfront resort with 500 feet of private beach, horse riding trails, a baseball diamond, etc. Has servants waiting on her hand and foot. What is so terrible about that life??

R169 I wonder. He has apparently said that he would take her back. What is going on here? Maybe he is abusive or controlling or she wants a real love affair with someone else before it;s too late.

[quote] Why is the wife divorcing him, anyway?

Because she's getting dicked down by this guy.

Christine lives on the left.

Daniel Starr lives on the right, and rents the house from Kevin Costner.

Kevin is away for months at a time.

You do the math.

Kevin even confronted Starr about fucking around with his wife, and asked him to move out.

But Starr won't move out either.

Hmm... let's see. She won't move out. And her live-in boyfriend won't move out.

I wonder why?

Not gonna lie, I'd let Daniel Starr stick it in me.

R169, she is divorcing him because he doesn't make her feel special, and since it's all about her because the world revolves around her and her alone, she is dumping him so she can find someone who treats her with the constant obsequious deference that she deserves. Of course, she refuses to do so before he gives her half of everything, because apparently she thinks that she is worth it... Moreover, her lover isn't likely to stay interested in her if she stops leading a carefree lifestyle at her soon-to-be former husband's expense.

By the way R171, that Daniel guy is nothing to write home about. Yes, he is much younger than Kevin, but she's ruining her public image over that? Not only is she self-centered and greedy, but also an idiot.

The article says SHE wanted Daniel out. What gives?

[quote] The article says SHE wanted Daniel out. What gives?

That's a lie.

The writer was trying to make her look good, and make Daniel Starr look bad.

The truth is that she never asked Daniel to move out. Kevin Costner did.

R177 How do you know this stuff?

Contrary to what the nutjobs on this thread are alleging, it's Kevin Costner who is trying to save the marriage.

He wants to keep the marriage AND the family together, and he has nothing but good things to say about Christine. Not one bad word has been uttered by him about her.

But she is determined to be with this ... person ... who she's having sex with. I don't even know what he does for a living, but apparently now he flips houses to make money.

I think Daniel Starr has convinced Christine to divorce Kevin, and then he'll help her make her own money, by buying and selling real estate.

However, she has to get Costner to amend the pre-nup, so that she can get a larger share of his assets than what she had previously agreed to.

This grifter knew exactly what she was doing when she married Kevin. He didn't want any more kids (after his first marriage), but she said "if you want to marry me, then I NEED kids."

Why is that? Because kids = $$$$ for a woman married to a rich man. So Kevin agreed, and they got married and had kids. Who are all taken care of by nannies and a "house manager."

And now that she has found some good dick, she thinks she's going to publicize the divorce to extort money from Kevin. Then run off and get together with this new guy.

Christine Baumgartner is nothing but a two-bit grifting whore.

We cannot blame the wife entirely for Kevin choosing to continue to have kids over the course of over 35 years. Like I said above he has three different baby mothers. That is on him. A vasectomy two decades ago, when he was already old enough to be a grandpa, would have saved him a lot of trouble and money.

To R162..Are you part of Kevin's PR team or part of his Legal team dealing with the fallout from the bad publicity from the gossip sites. Plus the Liam situation, never knew he bred a son, and abandoned him because he was the father (DNA does not LIE).

Kevin is a typical str8 male(pig)

According to this article, Costner did not abandon Liam once DNA proved he was the father.

This Daniel Starr creature— a dime a dozen in this part of California. Although it appears he grifts better than most, I guess.

Most of these man children are content to sponge off women while driving in their $70k trucks (which periodically get repossessed) and filing bankruptcy every 8 years.

Let me guess— he’s a contractor? Probably originally from Visalia or some such?

He’s a contractor from SCRANTON.

But calls himself a “property developer.”

And claims some mysterious involvement with a tech venture that he supposedly sold for 40M.

Yet he rents a house.

The Duchess of Montecito should have helped him locate a house in the 15M range!

Shaun and I were in Colorado this winter, went to visit an old coworker who has a home in Aspen (lives there full-time).

I loved Aspen( ski badly), but LOVE the ski lodges!! Christine should take the Aspen home and live there year round with the 3 children.

the only winners are the lawyers making bank!

That Daniel guy could have given Kevin a run for his money 30 years ago, he's a hottie. Now he's leagues above old man Kevin.

wow, his love child has beautiful eyes. a heartbreaker for sure

how much rent is Daniel paying?

There is at least one INSANE Kevin Costner stan in this thread. I'm too lazy to figure out who's who with ignore-dar, but MY GOD. 😂

Pretty sure it's Kevin's PR firm plant rather than a stan, per se.

Contractors are rich cunts, don't ever think they are poor.

I know quite a few and one of them is foreign born and he owns a fucking hotel in his home country. He makes all the money in the US and send back to his family. His family manages the hotel in a resort beach area of his country.

Everything Costner is doing is very Capricornian. Capricorns can be very severe with people if they feel taken advantage of and they will cut you out faster than any other sign. You are either for or against them, and they don't allow stragglers. Christine wants out so that's it--she's dead to him. Caps have a reputation for being tight with money but that's only if you don't deserve it, and clearly Costner thinks the wife doesn't (Capricorns secretly don't believe raising children is work, especially if you're rich). Otherwise they can be very generous. Capricorns need respect most of all, they value accomplishments and ambition more than money. That said, it's likely he will soften about the prenup--Caps hate messy confrontation and will negotiate with reason.

The Zodiac Thread Killer has arrived!

Lol. Just tryin to get ahead.

A contract is a human made instrument, and, as such can be changed by humans.

This notion that a pre-nuptial contract is akin to Moses bringing the tablets down from Mt. Sinai, set in stone and sent by God, and therefore, can never be in breach, or changed, is just nonsense.

One party to the 10 Commandments, a "contract" if ever there was one, is GOD, if you believe that sort of thing, and that's been breached and changed, by both parties, to Heaven, Hell and back.

The only dog I've got in the hunt is my enjoyment of the media circus, and, this thread, of course.

I find both parties distasteful.

Costner, however, should just pay her.

Done. Over. Finis. Curtains.

I think she's calculated that her marital provenance makes her desirable to another wealthy man and she wants to be on the market while she's still good-looking.

That's another reason for the timing of this divorce. And no, I don't find that shocking or cause for judgement.

[quote] She doesn't need $250k a month in order to live decently. What a despicably greedy sow.

And of course, neither does he. This is Hollywood money, which is to say monopoly money, or ridiculous money swirling around. And it's not like the money would all go to orphanages and homeless shelters if it didn't go to her or the kids. It would go into the big giant pot of silly money funding Kevin Costner's ridiculous lifestyle. Yes he earned it, in the way that Hollywood stars earn ridiculous amounts of money, but so what? The question is how big a share of the idiotic sums flying around Kevin Costner will go to her and the kids now that they're divorcing.

As for the divorce, yeah she filed, but apparently they both wanted the divorce, and had even told the kids that was the plan, and then she slipped in the divorce papers before he could "shocking him" in some weird way. Not sure what the big advantage is, but I guess there is some advantage in being the first to file, so she did. But it's not like it came out of the blue, and he thought he was in some big loving marriage.

Kevin Costner is the Michael Bolton of actors-- bland, forgettable and orange.

Why do three teenagers need nannies?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

There were a couple of porn actresses interviewed a few years ago and they listed some of the biggest celebrity cocks they had each been with.

Tiger Woods, David Boreanaz and Kevin Costner topped their list.

She’s got 5 years to max out on child support before the kids are 18. Her motivations are really that simple. She’s also probably trying to sell some stuff from the house before Kevin notices it’s gone.

This sounds exactly like Denise Richards' husband, Aaron Phypers!

He would always appear in the background when she was on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

I don't think he had a real job, but I think there was some mention of him doing "contracting" work.

Denise was married to Charlie Sheen, but when they broke up, she married this guy.

Oh, and during filming of RHOBH the husband's "claim to fame" according to Denise: He has a BIG DICK.

So now we know why these women fall for these guys.

It's all about the sex.

R204 well women aren’t dating straight men for their personalities so a fat bank account and a big dick are as much of an appeal as anything

R204, Actually, Denise said he had one of the largest penises she’d ever seen.

He was previously married to Nicollette Sheridan.

[quote] Aaron Phypers' Job Gets Him and Denise Richards Followed — but What Does He Do?

What does Denise Richards' husband Aaron Phypers do for a living? He's a healer, and she said on the show that many people are against him and his work.

While many husbands featured on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have been doctors, bankers, lawyers, or real estate agents, Denise Richards' husband, Aaron Phypers, has a different sort of career. When Denise made her RHOBH debut in Season 9, viewers fell in love with her new husband, Aaron.

His good looks, his desire to be a full-time parent to Denise's three kids, and his lack of care when she discussed their intimate life in front of the women made him a favorite husband to be featured on any Real Housewives franchise.

Per the teaser, viewers have learned that much of the drama on Season 11 of the hit Bravo show will center around the alleged affair between Denise and former RHOBH castmate Brandi Glanville.

Now, Aaron, his marriage, and his background will all be thrust into the spotlight.

On the April 29 episode of the reality series, the group discussed Aaron's career at Kyle Richards' dinner party.

When Aaron described what he did for a living, the cast and fans were very confused, especially when Denise asked him to be quiet because they already had skeptics following him around.

"Denise's husband, what Aaron does is something that's more, I want to say cutting-edge," Kyle said. "Even though people who know who have been around for a long time like Yolanda Hadid went to Aaron. And what he does is very interesting. And what you do is really amazing."

Aaron works at a Malibu frequency medicine center called the Q360 Club, which is where he met Denise. He works with light and sound as a way to heal people, and it's a holistic form of care. Many seek his guidance to look younger and help with their skin elasticity.

"Everything you’ve been taught about how diseases process and stuff works is not true," he said at the dinner. "I have to be careful."

Denise then turned to her husband and asked him to be very careful about what he said because, "we're followed" already. Aaron then explained what inspired him to go into alternative healing.

"Age of 12 I was living next to the largest nuclear facility in North America. I watched everybody die of cancer. I couldn't understand why we could split an atom with sound and cause a nuclear explosion," he said. "If you look at an atom, there’s lots of space, right? Electron, proton, neutron, whatever... Ninety-nine point nine percent is space, but it's oscillating at a frequency that appears to be real in our reality. Does that make sense?"

"Traditional isn’t traditional. It’s allopathic. And allopathic, it means alternative medicine. Look it up. It’s all a measurement of the electromagnetic spectrum frequency," he continued. "I break down stuff so you can all heal you — I don't heal anybody, by the way. I remove blocks, discord, information."

He then told the group that they all had cancer in their bodies. Though much of the cast looked skeptical, at least it alleviated the lingering awkwardness from Teddi's tears.

After a few guests asked follow-up questions, Denise implored Aaron to stop speaking because of the dangers of saying too much. When the other women looked confused, Denise insisted that they move on from the conversation.

While Aaron wasn't afraid to speak out about his line of work, Denise later explained in her confessional that there are people who do not value his success and methods of healing.

"Aaron has a job where people get tremendous results and sometimes certain organizations don't like to see those results because they make a lot of money otherwise. And there’s times we're followed," she explained.

To R182..he wrote a check for a few million dollars and said "Buh-Bye" Buddy. His PR people gave alot of false information to that reporter. Kevin is a "sleazeball too" You don't write-off your child with a check or whatever after the DNA proves it.

He is a "Fucking scumbag"

he wrote a check for a few million dollars and said "Buh-Bye" Buddy

Bullshit.

Google "Kevin Costner seven children" and you'll see that all four of his kids have been around him in photos at red carpet premieres, etc.

And his youngest son Liam is constantly in those photos with the three eldest daughters, from when he was a young child.

You are so full of shit.

Does this look like Kevin said "Buh Bye Buddy" to Liam when he was a young child?

Um, yeah. NOPE.

Here's Liam with the family again.. about 12 years old.

Oh, look!

Here's Liam again as a teenager.

With his dad.

And here's Liam as an adult with his father and siblings.

Why do you people post obvious bullshit that can be easily disproven?

It's just so.... stupid.

All of those pics are of Kevin's son Joe, you fucking dipshit.

This is Liam....

Get ur eyes checked OP( or whomever you are today)

More than likely young children 2nd marriage, unless u find photos that say its Liam!!

Prove it to me!

Another one of Liam, and yes he's down with the SWIRL!

BTW, the girl in the blue dress looks like a Young Julia Stiles

Just saying

R206 I know this is off topic from the thread, but wasn't Lisa Rinna's husband Harry Hamlin also married to Nicolette Sheridan? Bizarre RHOBH and the fact that those two women started fighting so much right after she married Aaron.

Liam has really good hair BTW, and he has a Koch Bro. who raised him as his own son.

Kevin must be so proud of himself!!

I admittedly don't know anything about California divorce law, but wouldn't her lawyer have put in a cost of living clause? It seems insane to be bound by dollar amounts from 18 years ago in a prenup.

Couldn't find a link to a rag that used basic English, OP?

I'm guessing Christine's lawyers were out-lawyered by Kevin's lawyers. Kevin didn't want to have children, but Christine did. Not having children would have been a deal-breaker for Christine. Maybe she felt like she was "winning" just by getting him to agree to have children.

Moral of the story: If someone says they don't want children, they don't want children.

The kids will go with Christine, right? (Kevin is away from home a lot of the time.)

So if he’s evicting her, he’s evicting all of them.

That’s harsh.

True, it seems she’s playing chicken with him (hoping he don’t enforce the “out in 30 days” clause) but he’s also being a dick.

When it comes to deciding the child support arrangements., the prenup is not controlling— nor should it be, considering the kids didn’t even exist when the prenup was executed.

The child support will end up being very high, and will address the “children continue their lifestyle” requirement.

So, Christine is getting more money one way or another. Kevin us just postponing the inevitable and looking like a dick while doing it.

R219, His mother is also an heiress as a member of the Rooney family, a huge name in the world of professional sports.

Costner should have stuck with Rooney instead of marrying the nobody gold digger.

And Liam is more handsome than his dad.

So many jealous queens on this thread .

R223 true but I would imagine that he will offer her rent money. I thought I read somewhere that he had already given her $1.2 million (probably the million she won't touch) and offered her an additional $30k a month for rent for a replacement place. She is not entitled to a $175 million beachfront mansion however. When parents file for divorce sometimes they have to move.

I wonder if his sons might come to resent their father over this. $38K/mo. and his promise of $1.2M for new housing is paltry in So. Cal for people of their means.

I don't imagine his request for joint custody means equal physical custody. Joint custody can mean physical, legal or both. I suspect it's joint legal so he can share in decision- making about medical, educational and other matters relating to upbringing. He's gone months of the year on location, tends to business affairs, and has multiple romantic affairs to juggle. The last thing he wants to do even with domestic help, is look after three teenage boys two weeks out of the month. He strikes me as the every other weekend type.

To R145& R146, Thank You for ur interest, however I believe I may have found my 2d husband

I was born in Germantown Hospital on June 25th 1961, I am 62 yrs old, lived in East Falls( in Philly) & at 9 yrs old, my dad discovered he was not the DNA dad. He became my non-DNA dad Mom had an affair while working in CC Philly. I was always GAY, got married for $$$(5 kids, found #6 kid on beach). Good marriage, better divorce.

Pittsburg Steelers Baby- Mom married a Koch Bros. That's mutha-fucking $$$$.

[quote] When it comes to deciding the child support arrangements., the prenup is not controlling— nor should it be, considering the kids didn’t even exist when the prenup was executed.

Lots of things might not exist at the time of a prenup. The prenup did envision children. I'm not saying it's 100% enforceable, here.

I think Costner's problem is that his prenup was too miserly, right off the bat.

Isn't he known for being miserly? Remember when Joan Rivers asked to see her engagement ring at some red carpet event? She produced her hand to show a very small diamond on the ring, which, of course, Rivers insulted. She may have called it a "chip." Christine could barely hold back her tears. It was super-awkward. He did cough up for a larger one, though.

It is illegal (and unenforceable) to agree to child custody or child support in a prenup. That was not in the prenup, it's basic, any family lawyer (or most lawyers I would hope) know that. The only thing in the prenup is a statement that each owns what they own, and then some property settlement (the $1.2 million) to make it enforceable and then the terms- here is sounds like $38k a month for some period of time. Child support would be in addition to this, it cannot be contracted in a prenup ever, in every state.

Believe it or not folks, teenagers can survive for a few years without living on a $145 million compound. And he filed for joint custody so they would still be there half the time anyway.

Some of you are acting like he’s casting them out into the streets with a cup to beg for gruel instead of just saying that half the time they might have to live in a SLIGHTLY less exorbitantly luxurious manner, as a result of their mom CHOOSING to file for divorce. I’m sure their mother can find a place to rent on $30,000 per month (!) which Kevin is offering to pay, that isn’t a hovel without running water where they will be sleeping on the floor.

R234, Have you checked out the price of rentals in California lately?

[quote] Have you checked out the price of rentals in California lately?

That's no longer Kevin's problem.

That's the dumb slut cunt's problem.

If she doesn't like it, she shouldn't have cheated on him and filed for divorce.

Tough shit!

I’m assuming she’ll want four(4) bedrooms.

R235 yes and again, believe it or not, many people manage to survive in California on far less than $30K rent per month.

Many people have financial struggles. Having to survive on $360,000 in rent per year, on top of ample spousal support AND an unknown (but likely quite large) amount of child support is not one of them.

[quote]live in a SLIGHTLY less exorbitantly luxurious manner, as a result of their mom CHOOSING to file for divorce.

So he wants to traumatize his children TWICE and punish them for what his crazy wife is doing.

And you are ok with that.

How trashy.

[quote]on top of ample spousal support

The prenup does not provide for spousal support.

Handbag designer hahahaha

[quote] So he wants to traumatize his children TWICE and punish them

I wish MY dad punished my mom and I by providing us with $38,000 per month, after their divorce.

Unfortunately, my mom had to go to work earning minimum wage, so that we could eat hot dogs and beans for dinner and go without heat so she could pay the rent every month.

I feel so terrible for Kevin Costner's poor kids. How horrible for them.

David Boreanaz does NOT have a big dick at all. There was a JO pic online, his cock is pencil thin.

So, even though you endured this, you still wish it on other innocent kids.

Congratulations— you are officially the lowest of the low.

It takes a special kind of trash to wish your own misfortunes on innocent children.

I’m so glad I don’t know psycho trash like you.

Wow, overreact much, r244?

I don’t find self-referential arguments persuasive either, but I choose to see the larger point offered - that financial, social, and privilege experiences vary.

Back to the topic- as others have pointed out, I don’t buy that Costner wants to be chintzy with his children. His beef is doling out to her and he knows the child support is her support.

Anybody who has endured a divorce, even a mutually desired amicable one, knows, in the midst of the worst of it, the emotional and mental cheese slips off the cracker.

Add millions of dollars to the recipe, a media war, and here we are watching and commenting.

I wouldn’t wish this situation on anybody, especially the kids.

Still, it’s pretty clear that with most divorces, when children are involved, both parties use the children to emotionally blackmail the other parent. If the kids had their way maybe they would prefer not to be with either parent.

I read an article that courts try to balance the living experiences, within reason, of children in joint custody situations so that they aren't living in a castle with dad, but in a three room shack with mom. While I am sure that $38K a month would be fine for those kids, it would provide significantly different lifestyles depending on which parent they were living with at the time.

There are also situations where the parents move out and the children stay put and the parents take turns living in the house where the children live.

Kevin Fucking Costner is not doing something as insipid as that, r247.

Nice try, Christine.

Is Kevin related to Carolina Kostner?

The frauen have arrived.

Kevin and Christine's oldest son never smiles.

I've seen red carpet photos of the family on dozens of occasions, and he always looks angry.

And that's before his parents got divorced.

I've never seen a young child just absolutely GLARE at photographers, the way this boy does.

Something is seriously wrong with this child.

[quote] Something is seriously wrong with this child.

I don't know about that. He looks totally normal when his parents aren't making him walk the red carpet while hundreds of freaks are yelling and taking pictures of him.

the younger son looks "special"

The kids look fine. R246 you are correct, the goal is (within the bounds of means) to keep the lifestyle of the children as similar as possible so that there is not a downgrade if you will in living conditions. But, as I mentioned above that does not mean $175 million beachfront mansion. It means, they maybe live in the same town or near their school, and each will still have their own bedroom and in this case likely get to keep their nanny, get to go to the same camps and after school activities, get to go the same private schools, can afford the same wardrobe and have vacations with their mom. I do think she is trying to invalidate the prenup (which again has NOTHING TO DO WITH CHILD SUPPORT) and I think she is trying to invalidate it by putting out bullshit to make him look like a cheap father. I would guess he is going to give her more than the $1.2 million (maybe $10 million? total guess based on his high amount of wealth) BUT he is not going to want to pay her a monthly amount. No one wants to keep an ongoing obligation to an ex. So she can take the $38k a month if that is what the prenup says or go scratch. I am sure she would love a lifetime of monthly basic support checks coming in but that's not gonna happen. As for child support, I think he would end up paying somewhere between $50k to $100k, I think it would be $100k which would include any allowance for housing and that would end when the youngest is 21. He will also of course have to pay for college. SO that would be on the highest end $10million plus $1.2 million a year for the next 8 years for a total of about $20 million. This is what I think the negotiation is about. He is mad and wants her to bite it, she is delusional and thinks she is going to walk away with the $175 million house and $50 million.

[QUOTE]While I am sure that $38K a month would be fine for those kids

Where, cunt ?

Kevin Costner claims estranged wife wants $248K in child support to fund her plastic surgery

Kevin Costner is accusing his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, of seeking nearly $250,000 in child support payments for her own benefit — not their kids’.

The “Yellowstone” star, 68, alleged in court documents, obtained by Page Six Thursday, that his forensic accountant found that the handbag designer, 49, spends more than $100,000 in cosmetic surgery procedures — and that’s the real reason she is asking for so much money.

They also claim Baumgartner has dropped thousands of dollars in boutique shopping, ATM withdrawals, construction loans, attorneys’ fees and other expenses that have “nothing” to do with her children.

Her attorneys did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on the allegations.

Baumgartner, who shares Cayden Wyatt, 16, Hayes Logan, 14, and Grace Avery, 13, with Costner, previously argued that the $248,000 a month she is requesting is “less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle.”

However, the “Bodyguard” star said in the new court documents that he believes $51,940 a month, which is what he’s currently paying, is the “reasonable” amount.

Baumgartner filed for divorce in May after 18 years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences,” and the exes finances have been the biggest point of contention ever since.

Although Costner has a premarital agreement with his estranged wife that details how much spousal support she will get, she recently tried to push back on that, as well.

Baumgartner claimed in court documents obtained by Page Six last week that her movie star ex allegedly tried to deposit $1 million into her bank account to allegedly “force” her into conceding to the terms of her “limited” spousal support in their agreement.

“I cannot make this concession, do not accept payment, and instructed our financial accountant Francis Shelley to return the funds to Kevin,” she added at the time.

Baumgartner then revealed how much Costner made in 2022 in an effort to substantiate her claims, listing all of the “Let Him Go” star and their family’s lavish expenses.

Some of the most notable items on the list were more than $449,000 spent on beach club fees, nearly $2 million to operate their Aspen, Colo., home, more than $830,000 in gifts and other costs.

Costner — who made $19,517,064.32 before taxes, according to the documents — previously pleaded with the court to not release his financial information out of fear that “irreparable harm” will be done to him by fraudsters, burglars and “unwanted and embarrassing global media attention.”

She's not just a gold digging whore.

She's a PLASTIC gold digging whore.

They are both completely unsympathetic.

I do feel bad for the kids.

Again, I ask: why do straight men go for these do-nothing types then become shocked when the gold diggers try to take them to the cleaners? Presumably because these women are more likely to put up with the man’s bullshit

So Kev “bought” himself 18 lower stress years by being with a grafter. I guess it’s now time to pay up.

Well played, Kevin.

[quote] I guess it’s now time to pay up.

WRONG.

It's time for her to move out.

Or get THROWN out.

R259 because she was young and hot and that was all he prioritized so that's what he got, and she traded 20 years of being young and hot for financial security (she just negotiated poorly)

Whew!

What r260 said.

Your move, Mrs. Costner.

Ruh-roh.

When your soon to be ex-spouse goes there deliberately, as in what Costner authorized to be leaked at r256, the cosmetic surgery, what she spends money on, it's nuclear, mutually assured, destruction.

I'm not one for "But what about the children?!" but it's easy to feel bad for them.

If this War of the Leaks goes on, it's going to escalate very quickly.

Something very bad happened between Costner and Baumgartner, and not just that both were cheating.

There's so much bitterness and anger, they can't help themselves. Nothing else could explain putting their children through this humiliating media war.

[quote] Something very bad happened between Costner and Baumgartner, and not just that both were cheating.

The only one cheating was Baumgartner the slut.

There is no credible evidence that Kevin was cheating, otherwise she would (no doubt) have accused him of it.

If you marry a whore, don't be surprised when she still behaves like a whore with other men.

Oh, jesus christ, I don't care for either of these two.

But what's with this medieval, "whore" and "slut" rhetoric?

Humans, married and single, fuck around. Relationship end. They both knew the score. They both took on the risk of marriage.

If she was such a grifting player, so what? That's his fucking fault for marrying her, and then, stupidly, having children with her.

[quote] Greedy Entitled Cunt Christine claims the actor canceled a credit card and lowered the limit on another - Oh, the HUMANITY!!!!!

Kevin Costner's estranged spouse claimed that the actor has limited her funds after she sought a divorce, and as she is seeking a six-figure monthly child support payment.

In court filings, Christine Baumgartner claimed that she would agree to move out of their Santa Barbara beach compound by the end of the summer, if the actor signs off on a $248,000 monthly child support payment.

The couple were married for close to 20 years before separating, citing irreconcilable differences.

Throughout the last few weeks in the acrimonious case, she claimed that Costner has low-balled her with a $30,000 a month child support offer, and has also canceled a credit card, leaving her with limited funds as a stay at home mom with no income.

"He canceled one of my credit cards, and substantially reduced my credit limit on my second credit card far below the status quo levels, all without any advance notice to me," Baumgartner said in a June 28 filing.

The filings come a week before the pair are set to meet in court.

"Kevin's statement…that I have 'refused' to move out is simply not true," Baumgartner said in her latest divorce declaration. "Since the initiation of this divorce, I have repeatedly told Kevin (both directly and through counsel) that I would move out once a child support order or agreement was in place. And I have taken steps to demonstrate my commitment to doing so by investigating available housing options."

They share three children, Cayden, 14, Hayes, 14 and Grace, 13. Baumgartner has claimed that she needs the $248,000 a month to help support the luxe life that the children are accustomed to.

In previous filings, Baumgartner has said she has no assets other than $50,000 in her checking account. Baumgartner claimed that Costner made $19 million last year, and covered all of the families $6.6 million in expenses.

After Baumgartner filed for divorce last month, Costner filed a motion to evict her from their marital home, citing a clause in their prenuptial agreement which allegedly gave her 30 days to move out after divorce proceedings began.

The "Yellowstone" actor also claimed that he paid his estranged spouse $1 million for a new house, offering to pay the mortgage, insurance, and taxes for a year, per court documents.

Baumgartner accused Costner of trying to move her and the children out of the house before a child support order was in place, which he has denied.

"Kevin wants me to rent a place without a financial plan in place," Baumgartner said in the June 28 declaration. "However, I have our three children to think about. It is contrary to their best interests to commit to a rental that I may not be able to afford, particularly as that would ultimately lead to multiple relocations."

Lawyers for Baumgartner and Costner did not respond to Insider's request for comment.

Tee hee.

I love that Kevin Costner is airing all her dirty secrets.

More! More!!!

Show people what she is really all about. $$$$$$$$$

Sweetie everyone knew she was about money, including Kevin

wow, 200k for plastic surgery? what the fuck is she doing to herself?

I don't know, r271, trying to look like the perfect little trophy wife that Kevin demands, while also taking the kids off his hands? Are we supposed to believe he's shocked and horrified by all this, egads, cosmetic surgery that's apparently been going on in secret. Well, now she's aged out and the least he owes her is a decent severance check. I do agree she'll probably get a lump sum payment, cause no he doesn't want this going on and on. But it's going to be a lot more substantial than some prenup nonsense.

And he can move on to younger pussy, and pay her to be the next little trophy wife. Everybody wins. Happy, happy.

Though, try to be done with kids, Kevin. Don't be Daddy Sperminator, just accept the kids you have are the ones you have, and you don't have to prove anything like Al Pacino or these other old fools seem to need to. (He does have good genes, but still, give it a rest, bitch. Seed has been spread, and will endure.)

[quote] Well, now she's aged out and the least he owes her is a decent severance check

He doesn't owe her SHIT, except for what the useless cunt agreed to in the pre-nup.

[quote] But it's going to be a lot more substantial than some prenup nonsense

Yeah, because that's exactly why people sign pre-nups, and pay thousands for an attorney to write it up.

So that they can just toss it aside later, and pretend it doesn't exist.

Are you really that fucking stupid, R272? No, seriously. Are you REALLY that fucking stupid?????

You must be a woman.

Bitch, please, with this sanctity of the Prenup horseshit. Like everything in Hollywood, this is negotiable, and after 20 years and three kids the prenup is just some shit that everyone signed once upon a time. The series lasted longer than expected, and everyone is just going to have to renegotiate. So yes, Kevin may have to dig a little deeper, despite the weird trauma that causes you.

Can't she go back to designing handbags or something?

If he's worth 400 million, it doesn't seem right she gets 200.

Maybe like, 50 million. To take care of the kids. But ongoing spouse support? After 50 million!? Fuck off.

I'm sure his other 4 kids really want their ex stepmom siphoning off their inheritance.

Kevin Costner quote from the article linked above at R276:

[quote] "Christine wanted a child, but I was afraid I couldn't be an effective father," he told Parade in 2008. "[One day] I woke up and thought, 'Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child?' That's all it took. ... I decided that I was not going to miss out on love."

Poor Kevin. Is he really that dumb and naive?

He actually thought that the whore he married, would be with him until his "very last breath."

What he doesn't know about women, is everything.

Kevin's parting gift to Christine

Lol R278!

The price of the closet.

They're comfy throw pillows

Why have seven kids? I don't get it.

[QUOTE]There are also situations where the parents move out and the children stay put and the parents take turns living in the house where the children live.

Seriously? They must be very well off to afford to run three households...

Lot of divorced straight guy energy in this thread

“What’s with this medieval “slut” and “whore” rhetoric?”

You new to DL, R267?

Della has returned attempting incognito? Why with all the cheese sliding off crackers references.? She may as well grow wings and fly over Lake Michigan if we believed she was quitting DL during the Queen's funeral due to a lack of appreciation.

Which posts are Della’s?

R245., r287.

R245., r287.

"I do agree that it’s amazing that women break these agreements, I just don’t understand the “lifestyle I’m accustomed to” argument"

Your feelings about this stuff is irrelevant. There are laws and courts and lawyers who do this all the time and write up exactly what they believe will result in the highest possible financial return. You choose the lawyer based on reputation and past successes and sign what they tell you to.

R265, Kevin is a real "slut" who cheated on his first wife

Fuck off, misogynists

R291, What kind of man would cheat on Snow White?

“His first love was Cindy Silva, a raven-haired beauty who played Snow White at Disneyland and was a homecoming queen nominee at California State University, Fullerton. That’s where they met. While studying together at CSUF, they fell in love and then tied the knot in 1978.“

Della does say “Back to the topic” a lot in her Aaron Rodgers defense posts.

These dumb ass men who dump their same age wife and then marry a younger woman, the problem is the younger woman wants kids and that traps them.

[quote] supported by a house manager who supports and assists with the logistics of the children's activities, b. A person who assists with grocery shopping and meal preparation; and c. A housekeeper who assists with cleaning and laundry."

Fuck off, that means they do all the dirty jobs themselves. Assists?

I get her mixed up with Dennis Quaid's wives

R286 lack of appreciation for what?

In truth, they're probably both awful people, I'm kind of enjoying these creepy old farts deciding in to trade in the Fembot for a newer model, only to have said Fembot start malfunctioning and vigorously attacking them, sort of like the way Ava turned on her creator in Ex Machina.

R298 didn't she leave him? Was he cheating?

I think she's kind of a plain Jane as far as trophy wives go. She clearly has an elevated opinion of herself.

She looks very good for her age. Who doubts the info in the leak?

I don't. She needs the cosmetic surgery money for personal maintenance.

I posted upthread that she's factored in that her marital provenance - Kevin Costner is an ex--husband - makes her desirable to an as yet undetermined, probably even older, wealthier, future spouse.

Of course, whether or not Costner should have to pay for that, among other things, or, ends up doing so of his own volition just to make this shitstorm subside, remains to be seen.

And I'm staying tuned in.

My sense is that they'll both come to their senses on this media war, on behalf of their children, and Costner will fork over to her a generous settlement.

Are they actually leaking this information or is the entertainment media pulling it from court filings? TMZ et al. have people stationed at the court house going over dockets and filings in L.A. family and civil court.

The enraged, psychotic woman-hater on this thread whose favorite word is cunt also happens to be the OP.

He's getting paid by Costner's publicity team

She can still have her plastic surgery; she'll just have to start selling handbags to finance it. Kevin shouldn't be required to pay for that, IMO.

[quote] Kevin Costner: I Did NOT Want A Divorce From My Wife

Did actor Kevin Costner really want to get a divorce from his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner?

According to new legal documents, obtained by The Blast, the situation is called into question how much the "Yellowstone" actor really wanted to divorce his estranged wife.

The couple tied the knot in 2004 and called it quits in May 2023 after approximately 18 years of marriage.

In a letter, which is one of the exhibits in a court filing, it appears that the 68-year-old actor might not want to have pulled the plug on his almost two-decade-long marriage after all. The actor’s lawyer makes it sound like she wanted the divorce, while he wanted to try to salvage their relationship.

“Please be advised and advise your client that the separation she initiated and has indicated must move to a divorce is not something Mr. Costner desires,” Kevin’s lawyer wrote in the court filing. Adding, “For your client to now be in breach of the document upon which Mr. Costner relied in entering into the marriage is disheartening.”

Saying that divorce is “not something Mr. Costner desires” is interesting language, considering the actor has been accused of letting their three children – Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13 – know that he and his estranged wife were getting a divorce via a ten-minute zoom call, at least according to Christine.

In November 2022, Kevin had nothing but positive things to say about his wife in an interview with People magazine. "My wife does things that just completely... It just helps. The house is prettier because of her. Everything is warmer because of her,” he said at the time. “There's these little things that she does and I think it's the power of love, but that she makes her home that way."

However, less than a year later, Christine filed for divorce from the “Field of Dreams” actor. She listed April 11 as their date of separation and cited irreconcilable differences for the split.

In early May, an insider told the outlet that the actor did not want a divorce. "It was not anything that he wanted or sought, and if he could change the situation, he would," the source said at the time.

In the statement announcing their split, a rep for the "Dances With Wolves" actor wrote: "It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action."

Under the terms of the couple’s prenup, it looks like Christine is entitled to a settlement of $1.4 million; however, she is also asking for “248,000 total for all three children” per month. In a court filing dated June 16, Christine says that the number “is less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle.”

In addition to paying almost $250,000 per month, she is also asking that the actor pay their private school tuition in full, as well as provide for their healthcare and finance their recreational activities, such as hobbies and sports. She did not note any spousal support in her filing.

On Wednesday, Costner’s legal team pushed back against the figure, claiming that "Christine allocates 60% of expenses such as private trainer, unallocated credit-card expenses, and her plastic surgery to the minor children without any explanation or basis. The children do not use the services of private trainers, only Christine does."

His legal team also alleged that Christine had plastic surgery expenses that totaled $188,500 per month. They noted that it was not the minor children, but Christine, who was receiving these services. "Christine should know which credit-card expenses were for her and which were for the children, but not even a minimal effort is made to allocate them accurately," the filing read.

At this point, Christine says in the new court filing that she is willing to vacate the couple's massive beachfront property in Santa Barbara, but wants to establish the financial support..... first.

$188K per month for cosmetic surgery can't be correct, can it? She'd be the bionic woman by now.

r307

She's like Kevin Federline. She knows she's only got a few years left until the kids age up. She's going to squeeze all she can.

He should give this expensive domestic hooker, who didn't do any domestic work apparently, the millions she's rightfully owed simply by being married to him. The kids need to see mom taken care of or they will hate him.

He should suck it up, pay the spoiled leech off and get back to making another Yellowstone 2 or something and make up the money and never, never marry again because these heaux are gold diggers doing time in the California law, waiting to cash in.

Of course he doesn't want a divorce. Cheating husbands generally don't. Unless they've got another wife lined up already.

The whole thing is mysterious. If either of them were actually cheating they would use it in court. That can’t be it.

Agreed, r311

So many jealous queens in this thread. Your busted holes could never get you child support or alimony.

Seethe.

R313, Or the pleasure of riding Kevin Costner’s cock for 18 years.

R314 She probably faked orgasms like most women and never came.

If she was dickmatized she wouldn't be leaving his ass

Nah I don't think she misses riding Kevin's 70 year old cock.

Kevin in his prime? Oh yeah, for sure. But she got him when he was past his prime.

No d pics.

From R27's limnk:

The source said fitness buff Daniel, 42, is a “respectful guy” and did not cross any lines. They said: “Chris didn’t like Daniel’s attitude towards their friendship.

"She texted him and said she wanted him out.” Daniel, just six months into his tenancy, tried to calm the situation. Our source added: “Daniel was really upset.

He loved living there and felt he’d done nothing wrong. That’s when he brought his lawyer in.” Daniel had a close relationship with all of Kevin’s children, the source said, particularly his older son Joe, 35.

They continued: “Daniel thought really highly of Kevin and thought he was an excellent father to his kids. But Kevin hit the roof and sided with his wife.

“Ultimately, he wasn’t willing to hear Daniel out.”

* * *

Okay so what the hell is that all about? Frankly both Kevin and Christine sound insufferable. I'm inclined to believe that she made advances towards Daniel Starr, he declined, she was humiliated and enraged. Thinks got awkward, she wanted him out. She made up some lies to get Kevin to kick the guy out. No cares for the guy's little four-year-old son who was in a happy, stable situation in his life and had enjoyed spending time with the Costners as an honorary member of the family.

If you want to talk about the sanctity of binding contracts, how about the 12-month lease Daniel Starr signed?!?! Kevin wants his prenup to stand firm, but happily broke this guy's lease without a care.

Why can't Kevin and Christine coexist for a bit in that shopping mall they call home? You were in love once, married for 19 years...can you really not stand to be around one another at all now? Not even for the sake of the kids? The HUBRIS.

Kev got a handjob from a masseuse on his honeymoon with Christine, I highly doubt he’s not a cheater. If it hasn’t been brought up in court, it probably means the wife cheats too.

R319, California is a no-fault state when. No one cares about adultery in divorce court.

If Kevin didn’t want the divorce, I suspect he kicked Starr out to appease Christine.

I wonder if part of his reason for leaving Yellowstone was because of the location and being away from her. She said he was away on location too much and not spending enough time with their kids.

Now the useless slut cunt is using Kevin's own money to fight him in court.

How's that for a CUNT?

[quote] Kevin Costner said he reduced his estranged wife's credit limit to $30,000 after he discovered she charged him for $100,000 worth of legal and accounting services: court docs

Kevin Costner has refuted his former partner's allegation that he abruptly cancelled her credit cards after she filed for divorce from him.

The "Yellowstone" star said a legal declaration late last week that he was forced to curb estranged wife Christine Baumgartner's spending after she racked up six figures worth of legal and accounting services on credit cards he pays for without his knowledge or OK.

"Christine says I have not maintained the status quo because I cancelled one of her credit cards and because I put (a large) limit on the use of the credit card she uses," Costner said in a June 30 declaration, which was obtained by Insider. "I agreed to maintain the status quo with respect to our children. I have done so. I have continued to pay for all of the children's expenses since Christine filed for divorce. Christine does not claim that the children's expenses have not been paid."

Last month, the actor said he offered to pay Baumgartner $65,000 towards her legal fees, but her lawyers never responded.

Costner said he then was forced to step in and limit her access to his credit cards after he discovered Baumgartner used them to pay $45,000 for a Los Angeles-based lawyer, on top of the $40,000 she'd spent on her Santa Barbara-based legal team. She also charged $10,000 for the services of a forensic accountant, and another $10,000 for a separate forensic accountant whose services she no longer plans to utilize, Costner alleged in his declaration.

"It was then that I made the decision that there needed to be some reasonable limitation on the use of the credit cards," Costner said in court papers. "My lawyer gave her lawyers written notice."

Lawyers for the former couple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Baumgartner, 49, a handbag designer who said in court papers that she is unemployed, filed for divorce from Costner in May, citing "irreconcilable differences."

The pair, who were married for nearly two decades and have three teenage children, are set to appear in a California court later this week, where a judge will rule on Costner's motion to enforce a provision of their prenuptial agreement forcing her to move out within 30 days in the event they divorced.

Baumgartner has said in court documents she would move out by the end of August – but only if the "Field of Dreams" star agrees to pay her $248,000 a month in order to maintain their children's lifestyle. Costner said Baumgartner's wife's demand was absurd, and accused her of padding the figure in order to maintain her own luxury lifestyle.

can anyone figure out how she could be spending $188k per month on "plastic surgery" which i am sure is code for all of her treatments, injections, fillers, and the expensive followup procedures for healing that can be a part of plastic surgery. Even if she had dermatologists who come to the house, that would be a $5-10k appointment. and she could do that monthly. Even if she was paying $1k per facial, $1k per haircut....$500 per training session. i dont see how one could get the number that high.

[quote] Kevin Costner Claims Estranged Wife Christine 'Grasps at Straws' as He Requests She Move Out by July 13

Kevin Costner wants his wife Christine Baumgartner out of his California home by mid-July.

In court documents filed June 30 and obtained by PEOPLE, the Oscar-winning actor’s legal team says Baumgartner “grasps at straws with one baseless argument after another,” as to why she should be allowed to stay.

Costner, the document continues, “respectfully requests that Christine be ordered to vacate his separate property residence forthwith and no later than July 13, 2023.”

Baumgartner has remained in the Santa Barbara compound, worth an estimated $145 million, since filing for divorce on May 1, despite a clause in her prenuptial agreement that he claims requires her to leave within 30 days. That deadline has since passed.

These latest documents from Costner, who bought the property in 1988 before he wed Baumgartner, come in response to his estranged wife's own June 28 filing, in which she stated his claims that she will not vacate the home are “simply not true” and that she will move out of their beachfront property by Aug. 31 if a child support agreement has been made.

The exes share three children together — Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13 — who have lived in the Santa Barbara compound their whole lives. In order to set up a "suitable separate household," for them, she has requested $248,000 per month in child support, a number Costner has rejected as "inflated."

On May 2, a rep for Costner, 68, confirmed to PEOPLE that Baumgartner, 49, had filed for divorce after 18 years of marriage. She listed their date of separation as April 11 and cited “irreconcilable differences,” requesting joint custody of their three children.

Since then, the separated couple’s legal teams have traded sharply-worded legal filings, battling over many issues, including child support.

Under the terms of their prenuptial agreement, Baumgartner is entitled to just $1.4 million, a sum Costner claims he has paid.

In their new reply memorandum, Costner’s attorneys mentioned local real estate listings, providing evidence that there are homes nearby that the former handbag designer cannot claim are unaffordable.

“Christine can afford to move,” reads their reply. “She has at her disposal almost $1,500,000 in cash to find alternative housing. Multiple 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom lovely homes are presently available, located in close proximity to Kevin’s separate property residence… Kevin made multiple offers to assist her in relocating.”

A source close to Costner recently told PEOPLE, “This is all about Christine. Kevin has gone above and beyond in providing Christine the necessary means to find a suitable place for her to move."

In late June, court documents obtained by TMZ stated that Costner was willing to give Baumgartner $10,000 to cover moving expenses plus $30,000 per month toward a rental home.

In a declaration directly from Costner, the new reply memorandum confirms he paid Baumgartner those amounts plus the $1 million due under their prenuptial agreement.

“I offered her the full use of household staff to assist in making the move, and I offered to pay her now the additional $200,000 I owe her under the PMA in cash, rather than as a down-payment towards her purchase of a home... I also told her that I would continue to pay 100% of the children’s expenses since she filed for divorce, and I have done so.”

He added that “there are multiple very nice homes in the Santa Barbara area advertised for six-week and more rentals through Airbnb. She could have arranged for a month or two month or shorter term rental.”

Costner then detailed the effect this conflict has had on his upcoming screen project, Horizon: An American Saga, on which he serves as producer, director, writer and actor.

Because Baumgartner, Costner alleged, refused to vacate their home within 30 days of the divorce filing, saying she “did not respond by June 23 to my request that she at least move out of the primary bedroom,” he is now unable “to begin post-production work on Horizon.”

“Because I am not now comfortable sharing a residence with Christine, I very reluctantly changed my travel plans and delayed returning home,” said Costner, who allegedly went to his 160-acre ranch in Aspen, Colorado instead.

“This forced change in my plans is materially interfering with my work commitments,” he added of what he hopes will be “a four-movie project.” The first installment of Horizon, per the new document, is being planned “to show at film festivals later this year, with a theatrical release by year end.”

Costner also mentioned that because he is no longer involved in the hit Paramount Network series Yellowstone, the actor’s largest source of revenue, his “income going forward depends on timely completing and releasing Horizon films, starting with Horizon I.”

Attorneys for Baumgartner did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's requests for comment.

Costner further claimed that he canceled one of Baumgartner's credit cards because, throughout May and early June, she allegedly charged more than $100,000: “Christine began charging large sums on the credit cards payable to her divorce attorneys and forensic accountants. She gave me no advance warning each time she did so."

Costner and Baumgartner are due in court on July 5 for a case-management conference.

Kevin Costner was so hot in that movie with Sean young. He was dressed in white military uniform

Imagine the nerve of asking someone to pay their attorney fees, so that they can sue you in court.

"Kevin, I'm going to divorce you, take you to court to try to take as much money as I can from you, and I want YOU to pay for all my attorney fees."

That's how delusional this cunt really is.

And Kevin is actually giving her the money.

That's how stupid he is.

In California divorce court, the wealthier person pays-just ask "Super Cray Cray Cunt Halle Berry", Miss Cruise!!

[quote] Judge orders Kevin Costner's estranged wife to move out by the end of the month

Kevin Costner's estranged wife was ordered to move out of their shared home of by the end of July, in an early legal victory for the "Yellowstone" actor amid an acrimonious divorce battle.

At a hearing in Santa Barbara on Wednesday, Judge Thomas Anderle ruled that Costner's ex Christine Baumgartner must move out of their shared compound by the end of July, rejecting her request to delay the move until August 15.

Baumgartner's attorneys argued that their client needed the extra time because of the over-saturation of the Santa Barbara rental market, and the "extreme disparity" in the child support amount offered by Costner compared to the amount requested by Baumgartner.

Cotner appeared virtually at the hearing, and Baumgartner appeared in person, wearing a modest long sleeve patterned pink blouse, black slacks, open toe kitten heels, with her hair half back.

The couple were married for close to 20 years before Baumgartner filed for divorce in May, with the pair citing irreconcilable differences.

Throughout the last few weeks in the acrimonious case, Baumgartner claimed that Costner has low-balled her with a $30,000 a month child support offer, and has also canceled a credit card, leaving her with limited funds as a stay- at-home mom with no income. In filings this week, Costner said that he imposed the limits after Baumgartner used the cards to spend $45,000 for a Los Angeles-based lawyer and $40,000 for her Santa Barbara-based attorneys.

They share three children, Cayden, 14, Hayes, 14 and Grace, 13. In court documents, Baumgartner has claimed that she needs the $248,000 a month to help support the luxe life that the children are accustomed to.

According to Zillow, the median rent in Santa Barbara is $6,200, with less than 300 available rentals. By comparison, the median rent in California is $2,900, per Zillow.

In previous filings, Baumgartner has said she has no assets other than $50,000 in her checking account. Baumgartner claimed that Costner made $19 million last year, and covered all of the families $6.6 million in expenses.

After Baumgartner filed for divorce last month, Costner filed a motion to evict her from their marital home, citing a clause in their prenuptial agreement which allegedly gave her 30 days to move out after divorce proceedings began.

The "Yellowstone" actor also claimed that he paid his estranged spouse $1 million for a new house, offering to pay the mortgage, insurance, and taxes for a year, per court documents.

Baumgartner accused Costner of trying to move her and the children out of the house before a child support order was in place, which he has denied.

"Kevin wants me to rent a place without a financial plan in place," Baumgartner said in a June 28 declaration. "However, I have our three children to think about. It is contrary to their best interests to commit to a rental that I may not be able to afford, particularly as that would ultimately lead to multiple relocations."

He'll get his ugly house back in Carpinteria. He's going to have to cough up a lot more than $1.5 million for a new house for his ex and their three children. $1.5mil doesn't buy a shack in this area. That "temporary $30k a month for a rental house? Dogshit and who knows how long it's going to last or what strings Costner ties to it. Christine better keep her mouth shut about all of Kevin's bits on the side.

Hollywood is so fucked up. I learned through the OJ Simpson case that in Hollywood the wife and kids move into a condo. The guy keeps the big house and most of the stuff.

Hahahahaha.

BYE, CUNT!

Get the fuck out of my house!!

He really should have handled this better. That Malibu compound is the only home those children have known for their entire lives. Now, she has fewer than 30 days to find other suitable lodgings? He's clearly trying to squeeze her out of the kids despite being the consummate absentee father.

Kevin has always been known as "parsimonious," heh, and his kids from this marriage will know. He already fucked Snow White over. Are his kids from that marriage all about "Dad?"

It's not in Malibu, R332, it's further North up in Carpinteria. It's a small beach town next to Santa Barbara/Montecito. Ellen's behemoth new house is in Carpinteria.

Also she's had way more than 30 days to move out. It's not like the details of their pre-nup were a mystery to her. She's the one trying to squeeze Kevin for a better deal.

Another wealthy, White, straight, postmenopausal, female. Who lived off her ex-husband. Hope the prenup holds. I feel sorry for those three kids they are forever be scarred by her parenting.

Kevin to Christine....

I'm so glad the judge ruled in favor of Kevin.

This woman deserves nothing.

She's raising his three fucking kids! She signed the silly prenup when she had NO kids and no idea that Kevin would cheat on her relentlessly for the next 20 years.

Costner tried to get out in front of this, whining about their 20 year old prenup and trying to throw her out of the house and intimidate her. She is not going to have to settle for the paltry terms of the prenup. Any decent judge is going to give her more than $1.5 million to buy a house for herself and her three children in this area. Most judges would allow her to stay in her home with the children at least until child support and settlement arrangements have been made. In this case, I think because Costner claims he has to be in his house to finish post-production on his new movie, the judge has granted Costner's request to immediately take the house away from his wife and children.

Costner's just pissed off because she got fed up with his cheating ways and dumped him.

[quote] She's raising his three fucking kids! She signed the silly prenup when she had NO kids

Stupid feminazi at R338 is totally ignoring the fact that Kevin Costner did NOT want any kids, and she refused to marry him unless he agreed to have kids with her.

It was the cunt's way of trapping Costner into eventually having to pay her for all those kids.

This was PRE-meditated, and I'm surprised that he was so stupid, as to fall for her trap.

Thank goodness he was smart enough to have a pre-nup, and rich enough to pay for good lawyers, to send her back to the streets where she belongs.

[quote] Costner tried to get out in front of this, whining about their 20 year old prenup and trying to throw her out of the house and intimidate her. She is not going to have to settle for the paltry terms of the prenup.

You're really a dumb cunt, aren't you?

The judge UPHELD the pre-nup, which explicitly stated that if they divorce, then she would have to move out of the house/compound.

And guess what? She has until the end of the month to GET THE FUCK OUT.

Now the cheating slut can go live in a homeless shelter with her low-rent boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Kevin is WINNING.

Go back and research Kevin Costner's litigation history.

He has been sued many times and he has ALWAYS won. He has the best lawyers in the business.

So fuck right off, Christine gold-digging CUNT!

R339, you are over-invested in someone else's marriage/divorce. You're also bizarrely hostile towards Christine Costner.

They were married for 20 years. They have three children. Whether he "wanted" them or not, Kevin's got three more kids now and this is the only home they have ever known. Costner will have to pay a lot more than $1.5 million and $30k a month. Christine and the kids don't have to go live in some dump, Costner can afford much better than that and he's going to have to do so.

You know nothing about family law, particularly in this area (Santa Barbara County). No judge is going to uphold all the terms of that ridiculous prenup- zero chance of that happening.

Because Costner tied the house to being able to finish post-production on a film he's working on, and Costner cried about how "he's uncomfortable," the judge ordered Christine and his three children to get out of their house two weeks earlier than Christine already agreed to.

[quote] No judge is going to uphold all the terms of that ridiculous prenup- zero chance of that happening.

You said that before, and yet the judge is already ruling in Kevin Costner's favor.

So you've already proven yourself to be not credible.

Kevin's attorneys are getting exactly what they are asking for, and more importantly, what SHE AGREED to in the pre-nup.

[quote] the judge ordered Christine and his three children to get out of their house two weeks earlier than Christine already agreed to

Exactly. That's called A WIN.

Kevin Costner won his complaint against her, to vacate the premises, in accordance with the pre-nup.

Point two, she only agreed to leave by the end up the month IF Kevin Costner agreed to her demands of paying her more spousal support.

And the judge said NO. In essence, he told the cunt to FUCK RIGHT OFF.

So now she still has to vacate the premises, and WITHOUT the extortion money that she's demanding.

Seriously, R339. Stop, while you're behind. You're just making yourself look like an idiot.

And PS, you are the one who's overly invested ---> in defending this lying, grifting, cheating whore cunt.

Whatever, child. Watch and learn. Costner will end up paying considerably more than the prenup calls for and everyone knows it.

He cheated on her for 20 years. He sexually assaulted a fucking masseuse while on his honeymoon with Christine, ffs. Watch what happens to that silly prenup.

Kevin should have had more patience and worked out the housing/alimony/child support quietly and quickly but he wanted to be publicly known as a man who throws his wife and three children out of their house.

[quote] He cheated on her for 20 years

If that were true, Cuntine's attorneys would have included that in her divorce filing.

But there is ZERO mention of adultery/infidelity/cheating.

Here you are, caught LYING once again, R342.

He cheated on Christine from the moment (actually even prior to the moment) that they got married.

He was busted for sexually assaulting a masseuse on his fucking HONEYMOON with Christine.

Why do you pretend that Costner is some kind pure-as-the-driven-snow person? He relentlessly cheated on his first wife too, it's what he does.

The pro Kevin poster is weird. I feel he once got fucked over in a divorce himself.

I don't get why Kevin would ever want his children to live in a $1.5 million house after growing up in the style of house they grew up in? I get not wanting to give the ex wife more than he has to, but it's shitty he'd do that to his kids.

Maybe he hates them too.

I think Costner was genuinely blindsided by the divorce. He said long ago that he didn't want more kids because, while he could survive another divorce, he never wanted to go through another divorce with kids. He met this woman who was hanging around the set of Tin Cup, marries her, has the kids she wants, finances her handbag business, pays for everything--working all the time to pay for everything--and it's not enough? She wants to cash out so he's thinking 'fine, here's your settlement bitch, now go back to the golf course where I found ya'.

Of course he's not thinking about the kids, but I kind of get the bitterness.

[QUOTE]postmenopausal, female.

[QUOTE]those three kids they are forever be scarred by her parenting.

You believe a 48 year old woman is postmenopausal?

Oh, look, we have someone who claims expertise in three very disparate disciplines -- endocrinology/gynecology, developmental psychology, and English grammar, yet fails miserably at each. He must have done his own research much like his QAnon and MAGAt buddies

Can you tell us which other areas of expertise you claim but are totally ignorant about, r335?

Oh I can name a few, R347!

Quantum Physics

Behavioral Psychology

Monster Truck competitions

Origami

Cliff Diving

But he's killer at watching television, practically a champion at staring at the tube!

R347 do you suffer from chronic vaginal dryness? Your "abrasiveness" must have some physical root cause.

R348. Are you a lemming? You seem to be following their migratory behavior?

Someone got their Fallopian tubes in a knot here.

I said this at r228 and I'm doubling down now that Christine and the kids are under deadline to leave: the kids are going to come to actively resent him if they don't already. Costner cited an inability to complete his work projects and discomfort doing so with her presence on the property. The implication is a set up for the kids: "Dad's work is more important than we are." They may have been suspecting for a while given his long absences.

No, R349, you useless, dickless twat.

You got yourself all bent out of shape over constant-cheater Kevin Costner trying to shit all over his wife and three kids in this divorce. She will get an appropriate house that is worth a lot more than $1.5 mil. She'll get alimony. She'll get child support. She'll get the normal settlement someone would get from a multi-millionaire 20 year marriage with three kids.

I have no idea why you're so rage-filled at the idea of Christine Costner getting a normal settlement. She seems like a perfectly likeable if totally uninteresting person.

I smell highly paid PR camps from both sides battling it out in most of the last 100 posts on this thread.

[QUOTE]Your "abrasiveness" must have some physical root cause.

Ooh, look, he fancies himself a wordsmith! Vaginal dryness and "abrasiveness," put in quotes to highlight and make sure we don't miss his his cleverness.

Yup, in addition to endocrinology/gynecology, developmental psychology, and English grammar specializations, this fella thinks he has a Dorothy Parker-level wit.

I sorta believe his relentless absences are at the root of this. Simple as that. He's a workaholic. She probably thought she could handle it. Maybe the thought he'd slow down as he got older. He was gone a lot for Yellowstone and then he has this Horizon Quadrilogy happening now. I read that he quit Yellowstone because he, was preparing for, and I quote, "a grueling 220-day schedule" for Horizon.

Raising three kids alone gets lonely. All the staff and credit cards in the world can't replace companionship.

Call me crazy, but Occam's Razor tells me that he was just gone too damn much. Too self-aborbed. Busy being a great "provider" - but that can also be an excuse not to slow down and spend time with the wife and kids.

I do believe they were once very much in love. He was happy to have wifey 2.0 and she was in thrall to her movie star husband and her new tax bracket. You never can imagine, years down the road, how much the shine wears off of the bloom. Life is drudgery at any pay grade, unless you have a truly sizzling marriage with really profoundly deep companionship. I'm thinking Suzanne Somers or Piers Brosnan and his wife Kiely. That level of mutual obsession and loyalty makes all the ups and downs of life recede. I have a feeling that Kevin is no Piers Brosnan.

At 48, Christine isn't even post-menopausal -- she's perimenopausal. She's right in the thick of it. Mid Life Reckoning. Your hormones are up and down and all over the place, and your biological clock is telling you "this is my last chance to feel desired by a man before my ovaries close the shutters and I become old and invisible." He may have taking the marriage and the arrangement for granted. She's getting older, she is craving some juice - some TLC, attention, companionship.

I remember when my single mother was going through the Change. She was not herself for a few years. Jumping in and out of relationships like a fish gasping on dry land, flailing around hoping it might get lucky and flop into a stable pail of water. (She eventually did.)

I don't know. A mega-rich husband who is gone most of the year sounds like heaven to me.

[quote] I have no idea why you're so rage-filled at the idea of Christine Costner getting a normal settlement

BECAUSE THE FUCKING CUNT SIGNED A PRE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENT, AND SHE IS BACKING OUT ON THAT AGREEMENT!!!!!!

YOU MOTHERFUCKING RETARD!

Uh-huh. She's now been with Costner for 20 years and has three minor children with him that she is raising. She seeks a reasonable settlement, this is not unusual in long-term marriages with several children. They enter into prenups when they have no children and haven't been together for 20 years. Things change over time.

And this has a personal effect on you in exactly what way, R356? You're obviously completely out of your mind about this relatively minor gossip item, that much is plain. I have no idea why you are so emotionally involved in Costner's divorce nor why you carry so much rage and hostility towards Christine Costner, whom you have never met and do not know.

Tell us more about you, dear.

She herself doesn't deserve it. No one really deserves it by the "I'm accustomed to living this lifestyle off my spouse" excuse. That's a leech mentality.

The kids deserve it. It's the kids who benefit from seeing their mother taken care of. "Dad why were you bad to mom?" THAT is why he needs pay, not because this greedy leech needs money, because it's the right thing to do for the kids.

If they didn't have kids, fuck her. Fuck all entitled spouses who live the highlife on their partners dime, leave them and wonder why they're not entitled to anymore because they were "used" to it. Fuck off.

What r 358 said about Costner paying her on behalf of the kids.

Like it or not doesn’t matter, she’s got him over a barrel to a certain extent with regard to the kids not having a mother with far less finances and lifestyle than their father.

I get it. Why should she get the benefit of that bargain? We’ll, let’s begin with Costner himself being a dumbass and not calling it good with the three or four adult children he already had.

Gold Digging Cunt Whore is doubling down:

[quote] Kevin Costner’s Wife Christine May Forfeit ‘All Rights’ to a Payout by Challenging Their Prenup

Kevin Costner's estranged wife Christine may have to forfeit her $1.5 million divorce settlement since she is challenging the pair’s prenuptial agreement, according to legal documents filed by the actor's lawyers.

“If Christine, in any manner, challenges or assists in the challenge of the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement, she shall lose any and all rights to receive any payment, Property or Interest from Kevin pursuant to this Agreement,” according to the agreement, which attorneys for the 68-year-old Oscar winner quoted in legal documents filed June 28.

Marilyn Chinitz, a matrimonial attorney at Blank Rome in New York (she does not represent either of the Costners) tells PEOPLE such clauses in prenuptial agreements are fairly routine. "Attorneys call these provisions 'in torrerem' because it is a clause to instill fear. They are incentivizing someone from challenging the agreement."

Continues Chinitz, "It's basically saying, 'If you're going to challenge the agreement as being invalid and unenforceable, then anything that you may have benefited by, I have a right to claw back.'"

Celebrity divorce attorney Randy Kessler, who has represented former Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes and rapper Cardi B., agrees it's standard. The lawyer, who likewise doesn't work with Kevin or Christine, calls the clauses "very common. I have seen people agree to much more onerous terms and conditions."

The legal team for Costner—who has already paid his wife the $1.5 million she is owed under the terms of their agreement, which both parties signed before tying the knot in 2004—quoted the prenuptial agreement in response to a request from Christine’s side that Kevin pay for her attorney fees.

His lawyers countered that it should be Christine, 49, who pays for Kevin’s fees since they claim she is challenging the prenup. "Should any party contest the validity of this Agreement, or claim it is invalid in whole or in part, that party shall be liable to the other party for all witness, attorney, accounting and appraisal fees and costs incurred by the party defending the validity of this Agreement in the event this Agreement or any contested portion of it is adjudicated to be valid and binding," the document states.

Christine's attorneys have made the case that "there has been no determination by this Court that the parties’ premarital agreement is enforceable."

Chinitz says Christine's legal argument is likely a nonstarter because "the agreement is presumed to be a valid agreement until such time as a court sets it aside."

According to Kevin, the Costners' premarital agreement also stipulates that Christine move out of the star’s Santa Barbara home within 30 days of filing for divorce. Christine filed a petition for dissolution of marriage on May 1, meaning the deadline has since passed by more than a month.

Thomas Anderle, a judge for the Superior Court of Santa Barbara County in California, ruled at a July 5 hearing that former handbag designer Christine (née Baumgartner) must vacate their sprawling compound, worth an estimated $145 million, by July 31.

Christine, who shares sons Cayden, 16, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 13 with Kevin, has said she was staying put until she had a child support agreement in place in order to set up a "suitable separate household." She requested $248,000 per month, an amount Kevin's side slammed as "inflated."

Chinitz says Judge Anderle's ruling should speak loudly to Christine's side. "He's signaling to the attorneys, 'I'm enforcing the agreement.'"

The court has set a trial date of November 27 to determine its validity. But even if Christine loses, Chinitz says she may only be on the hook for Kevin's legal fees, not the entire amount of her divorce settlement.

I love it!

I hope that Costner's attorneys absolutely DESTROY her, and she ends up with nothing.

Go back to designing your jewelry, you greedy cunt!

The gravy train is over!

Kevin is definitely winning.

[quote] Kevin Costner's first divorce court win signals estranged wife 'may have overplayed her hand'

Kevin Costner's estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, may face an uphill battle in their divorce following the Oscar winner's courtroom victory Wednesday.

A judge ordered Baumgartner to officially vacate their Santa Barbara-area estate by the end of the month despite her request to remain in the family home through August. In addition, Judge Thomas Anderle sealed portions of the premarital agreement.

Kevin and Christine were married for 18 years and have three children together. She's requesting $248,000 per month in support, in addition to Costner fully covering the children's private school tuition, 100% of their health care expenses and their extracurricular activities and sports.

In his initial declaration, Costner claimed to have deposited $1 million into her account as part of their pre-marital agreement. The agreement also stipulated she receive a total of $200,000 upon marriage and after their first anniversary. Costner said that sum has now grown to "$1,450,000, which she can use at her discretion, including to find alternative housing."

Christopher C. Melcher, celebrity lawyer and partner at Walzer, Melcher & Yoda, told Fox News Digital that while Kevin can continue contesting the legal battle, Christine only "has one chance to win" as she claimed to have no monetary funds or income.

"Kevin can afford to lose $1 million fighting this; he could afford to even pay the support if he loses it," he said. "She has one chance to win. She doesn't make this kind of money. She doesn't have these level of assets."

Costner has proposed to pay roughly $52,000 per month. Her request was submitted following a forensic accountant's report showing Costner's actual gross cash flow for the 2022 calendar year as $24,518,887, or $2,043,241 per month.

"He can suffer that loss much easier, probably without even feeling it really at some level, but it would be devastating to her," Melcher said.

"So the magnitude of the risk is higher for her than him, even though they're fighting over the same amount of money, because he's always going to be rich. Doesn't matter how this turns out. I think that she may have overplayed her hand, that the time to settle would have been before she filed where she could have kept this quiet, which would have made him happy."

Melcher insisted Costner "shouldn't get carried away" either, because if the premarital agreement is dismissed on a spousal support provision in the court, Costner would be responsible for maintaining her marital standard of living, "which is an enormous amount of money."

Sophie Jacobi-Parisi, partner in the Matrimonial & Family Law Practice at Blank Rome, said a resolution between an estranged couple out of the courtroom is always an easier solution.

"A private settlement is always better, especially when so much of their split is already in the news," Jacobi-Parisi told Fox News Digital.

Christine argued that the "Yellowstone" actor was being disingenuous with his claim of "doing the most [he] can reasonably do to make a divorce as seamless as possible for our children" as his actions showed "precisely the opposite" when he "sought to evict his wife and children from their home, and he now offers to pay child support of $51,940 per month."

"I would think that she will continue to seek the amount of support she feels is necessary to support herself and the kids, particularly now that she has to move out of the marital house, per the prenuptial agreement," Jacobi-Parisi said.

Costner has denied the allegation that he is "kicking" their children out, noting the kids will be in the home "during the time they are in my custody."

Bwahahahahaha!!!!

Go, Kevin!

I'm curious to see if she'll actually move out by the end of the month.

If not, I hope Kevin calls the cops on her and they drag her out of his house.

Will there be a third Mrs. Kevin Costner?

[quote] Kevin Costner to pay $129,000 in monthly child support, judge's tentative ruling says

Christine Baumgartner will receive half of her requested $248,000 monthly child support from actor Kevin Costner in a tentative ruling set by a judge Tuesday.

In documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Judge Thomas Anderle made interim rulings that Baumgartner will receive $129,755 per month in child support.

Costner will be required to pay $200,000 in attorney's fees and $100,000 in forensic costs.

The estranged couple will each be required to pay 50% of their three children's health care expenses, sports and extracurricular activities.

Payments will be made on the "first of each month" with "credit for sums paid between July 1 and July 12," per court documents.

Baumgartner initially requested $248,000 per month in child support or "in the alternative, at the guideline rate of $217,300 per month, payable on the first day of each month."

She also requested that Costner fully cover their children's private school tuition, 100% of their health care expenses, extracurricular activities and sports.

Her request that the court order Costner's payments to be made by automatic transfer was denied, per court documents.

Baumgartner petitioned the court last week to enter a guideline child support order pending litigation after she was ordered to vacate their $145 million Santa Barbara-area estate by the end of the month.

In documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Baumgartner first filed for divorce from the "Field of Dreams" actor on May 1, citing "irreconcilable differences." The date of separation was listed as April 11, 2023.

The "Dances With Wolves" star and Baumgartner both filed for joint custody of their three children: Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13.

Baumgartner submitted a forensic accountant's report last week that showed Costner's actual gross cash flow for the 2022 calendar year as $24,518,887, or $2,043,241 per month.

She said his $51,940 proposal was "inappropriate" for a number of reasons, that the amount was only "24% of guideline" and equivalent to 2.4% of his 2022 cash flow available for support.

"His proposed support is less than the monthly rent he received for one of his guest houses, and less than the $68,000 per month he committed to paying in his declaration filed on June 8, 2023 in connection with his request for a preliminary injunction," documents show.

Baumgartner argued that the "Yellowstone" actor was being disingenuous with his claim of "doing the most [he] can reasonably do to make a divorce as seamless as possible for our children" because his actions showed "precisely the opposite" when he "sought to evict his wife and children from their home, and he now offers to pay child support of $51,940 per month."

Costner has denied the allegation that he is kicking their children out, noting the kids will be in the home "during the time they are in my custody."

Christopher C. Melcher, celebrity lawyer and partner at Walzer, Melcher & Yoda, told Fox News Digital that while it appears to be a large sum of money, Tuesday's tentative ruling is "another defeat for Christine."

"Under the tentative ruling, Christine will receive one-half of the amount she was requesting. In that sense, it is another defeat for Christine, but no one should be complaining about getting $129,755 per month in child support," he said.

"It is an outrageous sum of money, but Kevin has an unbelievable lifestyle, and the law allows for child support so the mother can maintain the same standard of living for the children."

A hearing is set for July 12 in the custody case.

Kevin Costner is on the hook for six-digit monthly payments after a judge ruled on a tentative child support arrangement.

The 68-year-old Yellowstone has been ordered to pay his estranged wife Christine Baumgartner, 49, a whopping $129,755 per month in child support payments.

That means the figure is considerably more than double what Costner had originally offered his ex, though it is also only a little over half of what she had been asking for.

The decision is only tentative and will be reassessed at a later hearing, according to court documents obtained by Fox News.

The decision comes after Baumgartner was ordered to vacate Costner's mansion by July 31.

They will also be splitting expenses down the middle for the kids' pricy private school tuition, as well as their extracurricular activities, which includes sports.

Baumgartner had been to avoid paying those expenses all together, as she previously requested in filings that her ex cover them completely.

The $129,755 figure isn't set in stone, and both Costner and Baumgartner will have a chance to challenge it at a future hearing in hopes of pushing it closer to their desired support amount.

However, TMZ notes that the final figure rarely changes much from the initial determination.

Costner also incurred additional expenses after the judge ordered him to pay $200,000 for his estranged wife's attorney fees, along with an additional $100,000 for forensic costs.

Pay up, Kevin. Your cheapskate has ways are embarrassing you.

I've always hated Kevin Costner almost as much as I hate Jennifer Garner. I hope the cunt wife gets everything she wants!!

What's so lame about this fight is the fact that child support in California is determined by a formula based on the parent's income. That's it. Kevin's income is entered into a computer as is Catherine's. If one of the parents doesn't have an income the courts actually GIVE them one, typically based on a full time minimum wage amount. Being a stay at home parent does not count as work.

Kevin's absurdly low child support 'offer' was meaningless--the courts decide child support, not the parents. He made himself look like a heartless miser to no purpose.

Christine's occupation is full time blood sucking GOLD DIGGER.

R370 And yet I bet she is FUMING.

Round 1 (eviction from Carpinteria property): Kevin.

Round 2 (child support in excess of prenup amount): Christine.

Now the bitch is trashing him in the media, calling him "money hungry."

This cunt should talk.

[quote] 'Yellowstone' star Kevin Costner's estranged wife says he 'could have continued with the show' but chose not to because he is a 'very money focused person': court docs

The estranged wife of actor Kevin Costner has claimed that the actor "could have continued" to appear on "Yellowstone" but chose not to because he believed his own Western project would be more lucrative.

"Kevin's value as an actor has never been higher, especially after the success of 'Yellowstone,' Christine Baumgartner said in a July 7 declaration obtained by Insider. "Kevin could have continued with the show, but he chose not to in order to pursue the 'Horizon' project."

The 49-year-old handbag designer, who shares three teenage children with the actor, described Costner as a "very money focused person" and said that he exited the Paramount Network drama to pursue "Horizon" as it will "certainly increase his earnings exponentially."

It was announced in May of this year that "Yellowstone" would be ending with its current fifth season, following a behind-the-scenes dispute between the actor and the show's co-creator Taylor Sheridan over shooting schedules.

Costner, who has portrayed aging rancher John Dutton on the show since 2018, reportedly wanted to significantly cut back days filming on set in Montana so that he could focus on his upcoming four-film Western saga, "Horizon," which he is cowriting, producing, directing, and starring in.

While Costner said in a previous court declaration that he was going to "defer" his salary for "Horizon," Baumgartner claimed that her soon-to-be ex-husband pursued the project — which he is backing with his own money — believing that he could "still support his family" and "make a very attractive return."

"He would not have invested in the project otherwise, and he essentially re-invested his compensation as an actor into this new endeavor that will certainly increase his earnings exponentially."

According to Baumgartner, Costner invested around $20 million of his own money into the "Horizon" film series.

Baumgartner made the comments about Costner's motivation for leaving "Yellowstone" while disputing his assertion that he could only pay $51,000 per month in child support, due to the fact that he is not earning as much as he was now that he's no longer "under contract" for the show (in 2022, he earned a reported $1.3 million per episode).

Per a June 30 declaration, Costner said he first made Baumgartner aware that he was considering leaving the hugely popular television series last year and told her that "2023 would be a difficult year financially."

Baumgartner, meanwhile, had requested $248,000 a month to maintain the lifestyle the couple's three children — Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13 — were used to.

On Tuesday, the child support payment dispute was settled after a Santa Barbara County judge ordered Costner to pay $129,755 per month — half of what Baumgartner was requesting but still far more than what his legal team proposed.

Baumgartner was married to the "Dances With Wolves" star for 18 years before she filed for divorce in May, citing "irreconcilable differences."

R377 well that works out for her right? Because she wants his money

Hey everyone!

I'm a gold digging cunt who signed a pre-nup and reneged on it, and now I'm all smiles because I got more than double what I agreed to!

All lying, gold digging cunts REJOICE!

You too can lie, cheat and steal from men!

She wants to live with their three children and continue to raise them, just as she has since the day they were born. Costner gets his ugly house back but like I've said from the beginning, he's going to have to cough up considerably more than was in that pre-nup to support his ex-wife and three minor children.

Yes, they get to "use" his house in Carpinteria during his custody times (and what a fucking asshole Costner was to say that to the court and to his children) but with his overwhelming work and travel schedule, how often will that even be? His ex-wife has always raised their children and any judge is going to see that she continues to do so.

Her easily beating Costner in court over the child support payment amount is very good for her and for their children. Obviously she jacked up her initial numbers but it looks as if the judge worked it out properly. I'm sure that Mrs Costner is pleased with this monthly support order. Kevin's aggressively cheapskate ways have come back to bite him in his saggy old ass.

Well, she got half of what she demanded. I guess the poor dear is going to have to cut back on all of her plastic surgery treatments.

Nah, r381, she has good lawyers. I'm sure her initial ask was about twice as much as she actually needed and she got it.

Kevin got his ass kicked on that one but he can claim he "cut it in half" and go on back to being an ass.

If your anchor is really only half-way to the Moon, you ask to go all the way to the Moon.

Fume all you want to, r379, but conditions materially, significantly changed from the signing of the pre-nup to now.

She signed that pre-nup BEFORE they had children. He married her while stupidly agreeing to her condition that they will have children.

He should've expected that pre-nup wasn't going to hold up, and, it shouldn't have.

I seriously doubt she spends, what was it, $88k per MONTH on plastic surgery? (Or was it $188K??) Either way Kevin looks like a catty bitch leaking the plastic surgery claim to the public.

[qupote] Either way Kevin looks like a catty bitch leaking the plastic surgery claim to the public.

All is fair in love and war, and the public deserves to know what a plastic cunt whore she is, especially because she leaks information about him too.

[quote] Christine Baumgartner's Spending Habits May Indicate She Planned Her Exit Months Before She Filed for Divorce From Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner’s divorce seems to be a never-ending stream of court documents that give insight into what their life was like behind closed doors. The Yellowstone actor’s latest filing appears to indicate that his estranged wife was planning her exit from the marriage for quite some time.

The legal papers, obtained by Page Six, show that Baumgartner was allegedly using the household staff’s credit cards, provided by Costner, to take out cash advances and purchase items for her use. She reportedly paid her divorce lawyer, Susan Wiesner, “on the credit card of an employee which is traditionally used for Costner family house charges and paid by [Kevin].” He also claims she spent $25,000 on a criminal defense attorney from his personal property fund and never disclosed why she made that financial move.

Baumgartner also seemed to prepare for the divorce by buying a new vehicle when they have normally leased their cars. That might indicate that she went over her prenuptial agreement extra carefully because she’s allowed to take a personal vehicle in the divorce. This particular move raised suspicions with Costner’s legal team who think Baumgartner “had been planning her exit long before she told [Kevin] in April 2023.”

Costner’s latest filing proves that this divorce is anything but amicable as they have argued over her move-out date and his child support payments for their three children, Cayden Wyatt, 15, Hayes Logan, 14, and Grace Avery, 13. With her July 31 departure from their $145-million Carpinteria, California property, this messy split likely has a few more chapters.

[quote] Kevin Costner Claims Ex Charged Car, Cash Advances On His Employees’ Credit Cards

Kevin Costner claims estranged wife Christine Baumgartner charged various expensive personal items – including legal fees, cash advances and a car — onto his employees’ credit cards without his knowledge.

In documents obtained by Us Weekly on Friday, July 14, Costner, 68, alleges that Baumgartner, 49, “charged additional attorney’s fees to the office of Susan Wiesner on the credit card of an employee which is traditionally used for Costner family house charges and paid by Respondent” after she “filed her RFO for attorneys’ fees and costs.” The documents also state that Baumgartner has been “taking cash advances” on multiple credit cards “issued not to her but to staff members” without his “knowledge or consent.”

In addition, Costner claims that while he and his ex “had always leased their automobiles,” Baumgartner recently “bought an expensive vehicle of personal use.” The Yellowstone actor points to the purchase, which happened before their April separation, as proof that Baumgartner “had been planning her exit long before” she told Costner about her plans to end their marriage. (The pair's premarital agreement states that Baumgartner is entitled to keep her personal vehicle in the event of a divorce, per Costner's attorneys.

Us confirmed in May that Baumgartner had filed for divorce from Costner, citing irreconcilable differences and listing their date of separation as April 11. The pair share children Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13.

Following their breakup, Costner and Baumgartner got caught up in a messy legal battle regarding the former model’s attempts to remain in their home with their kids. Baumgartner argued in her filing that she did not have the funds to move out of their residence. However, a judge ruled that she has to leave the shared home by the end of July.

While Baumgartner initially asked for $248,000 per month in child support to continue raising the kids in the lifestyle they’re accustomed to, Costner alleged in court documents obtained by Us last month that he couldn’t afford the specified amount because he “will earn substantially less in 2023” once Yellowstone comes to an end.

A judge later ruled on Tuesday, July 11, that Costner will pay Baumgartner $129,755 per month in child support. He also owes $200,000 in attorneys’ fees and $100,000 in forensic costs. While Costner was not in court for the ruling due to a preplanned trip to British Columbia with the former couple's kids, Costner’s attorney addressed the shared custody agreement between the twosome, saying, “The children are teenagers and may come and go between his home and Christine’s home once she finds a new residence.

Despite the matter of child support being settled, a source recently told Us that things could continue to get increasingly more contentious for the duo. “For Kevin, it’s pretty cut-and-dried,” the insider shared at the time, adding, “Christine wanted this split, so she should abide by the terms of their prenup [stating that she] had 30 days to move out after filing for divorce. This could be a bitter court battle. Kevin’s a man of strong conviction and stubborn to the bone.”

Um... yeah, she was obviously trying to keep this divorce quiet until she was ready to file.

That's what seems to be at the root of Kev's bitchfest. She was sneaky, she surprised him and she got the drop on him in their divorce. Since then he's done nothing but scramble to catch up, bitch and moan and act all pissy towards his wife and children.

I suppose he met and married her when she was young and dumb. It never occurred to him that she'd not only grow up and leave him but catch him off-guard in the filing. Kev's always over-estimated his own intelligence.

Team Gold Digging Trophy Wife! Get that money, bitch!

Now the cunt is trying to steal Kevin's pots and pans!

Trashy whore bag.

[quote] Kevin Costner: My Ex-Wife Is Trying To Steal My Pots & Pans!

Kevin Costner is dragging his ex-wife back to court claiming she is removing valuable items from their home, including the pots and pans.

According to new legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Costner claims there is an emergency in the couple's divorce because his ex-wife -- Christine Costner -- is taking items from the family's beach house while he is on vacation with their kids.

Shockingly, the list of valuable items isn't things like priceless art or a Rolls Royce, it's little things like "sewing fabrics, cookbooks, and some pots and pans."

As you know, this divorce has turned very nasty after Kevin accused his wife of not vacating the massive beachfront home, even though he says that is what is in their prenuptial agreement. It should be noted, the prenup allegedly says the couple shares NO community property. In other words, all the houses and other property are his separate assets.

The documents were filed in Santa Barbara County Courts as an "ex-parte" which means this situation is an emergency and can't wait for the next hearing to work out.

Kevin's lawyers make a veiled threat that they could get the police involved if they can't come to an agreement. "I proposed this Stipulation as a means of “keeping the peace” during (Christine's) move, to prevent disputes, to avoid the necessity of police involvement regarding (Christine) unilaterally taking (Kevin's) separate property furniture, furnishings, and appliances from his residence," the document states.

It continues, she is taking the "Plates and bowls/silverware” without specifying which plates, which bowls, and which silverware."

Kevin's lawyers point out that the 'Yellowstone' star already deposited $1.5 Million into an account for his ex-wife. (It was part of the prenuptial agreement) But, she hasn't touched it given that she might be challenging the validity of the deal.

"Recall that (Kevin) has $1.5 million at her disposal, which (Christine) has agreed she may use without prejudice to her claim regarding the spousal support provisions of the PMA," they wrote. Adding, "She has plenty of money to buy furniture, pots and pans, and dishes."

The kitchen appliances aren't the only problem Kevin has with his ex-wife. According to his team, she bought herself a new car with his money. The prenuptial agreement states she is allowed to take her car in the divorce, so they are claiming she upgraded at the last minute.

"(Christine) bought an expensive vehicle for her personal use (probably because the PMA allows her to take that vehicle with her). Thus, it appears that she had been planning her exit long before she told (Kevin) in April 2023," the filing says.

In the end, Kevin calls his ex-wife's behavior "disturbing" saying, she "has shown a disturbing propensity in the last several months, both before and after separation, to take his property without his knowledge or consent."

The lousy cunt is acting like Kevin's house is having a closeout sale.

"Everything must go!"

Heee! I look forward to this getting petty AF

Multi-millionaire Costner is filing "emergency" motions over her taking everyday pots and pans to cook food for their children in the house/condo he's forcing them to move into?

This is his idea of an "emergency" that needs to be immediately heard in court? He wants to force her to buy all new pots, pans, bowls, silverware, etc etc when they have tons of that stuff already?

He's totally fucking lost it. Petty, petty, little bitch. Stick a fork in him, he's done.

The more petty he appears to be the bigger and better her settlement will be in court. Kevin's either not too bright or is being very poorly advised. You don't go "scorched earth" on your wife and three minor children if you want any court to regard you as less than a raging fucking asshole.

He's always registered between "neutral" and "bland" to me. Yellowstone is the first thing I've watched him in since the '90s IIRC. But I don't think I'll watch him again if and when Yellowstone returns. It's one thing if someone were to dump me and take my dinnerware, but Costner, with his many, many millions, just comes off as an Uberscrooge.

Long may you run, Christine. Take it all, take it now. Fuck that penny-pinching weasel.

[quote] This is his idea of an "emergency" that needs to be immediately heard in court? He wants to force her to buy all new pots, pans, bowls, silverware, etc etc when they have tons of that stuff already?

Like most females, who are mentally incapable of using logic, there's a larger point here that you are completely ignoring.

She was already supposed to have vacated HIS home.

Not only did she NOT do that, but she's also stealing items from his home, when he's not there.

A) She's violating the terms of her pre-nup that was legally binding.

B) She's committing theft.

He can legally have her arrested and thrown in jail, which is exactly what Kevin should do.

If it were me, I would have had her dragged out of my house by her hair, and kicked to the street.

And if she wouldn't leave, I would have her arrested.

That is his legal right, whether you feminazi cunts like it or not.

Go, Kevin!

I need money, and lots of it if I am going to live my new independent and actualized life!

Apparently, R393 is a supporter of grand larceny.

He shows everyone how small-minded and what a petty little bitch he is when he does that.

It will serve to make his wife and kids' settlement much bigger the more of a little bitch he shows himself to be.

Whatever your personal problems with women are, R394, and they are obviously legion, they have no bearing on Mrs Costner and the Costner's three minor children whom Mrs Costner has raised and will continue to raise largely on her own. Kev's going to pay the usual rate for multi-millionaire movie stars who play around on their wives and children. A 20 year old pre-nup isn't going to help him much at all. It especially won't help him while he continues to show himself to be such a petty little bitch.

He's out of control, which only helps Christine and the kids so have at it, Dumbass Kev. If Kev were smart, which he clearly is not, he would have had his lawyers move for a quick and generous settlement with an NDA attached. As it is, he's creating a shit-show over a few million bucks that he'll never even notice are gone. He looks like he's punishing his children to get back at the wife who dumped him. Not a good look.

[quote] If Kev were smart, which he clearly is not, he would have had his lawyers move for a quick and generous settlement with an NDA attached.

Agree with this and I find both of them distasteful.

Of course, I'm projecting on the Kevin Cosner what my attitude was for my two divorces - Get me out of this marriage, I'll pay whatever I have to, including a portion of my accumulated 401k.

Obviously, Costner is playing serious hard ball, and given their obvious financial power imbalance, one could say that he's got the upper hand.

But, really, does he? I'm not so sure about that.

And the more I think about it, I suspect he wants to, relative to his wealth, deliberately do everything he can to scale down her post-divorce, after-the-dust-settles lifestyle so the kids favor being in his company over hers.

projecting on to Kevin Costner ^

[quote]Kevin's absurdly low child support 'offer' was meaningless--the courts decide child support, not the parents. He made himself look like a heartless miser to no purpose.

He already paid her to leave the house as they agreed in the prenup and she refused until she was ordered to leave. That was her mistake. I can tell she is a lazy hussy and just did not feel like relocating those kids, resulting in these headlines.

If she was truly suffering she would've been out of there. She would've gotten more sympathy if she actually planned thing out better.

Im sure his offering (which in the real word is more than enough to raise three kids) was scaled back because of this. Like others have said she knew what his work required when they got married. I totally believe she was cheating on him too.

R400 cheated on his wife and she took him to the cleaners when she dumped him in the divorce. It looks as though she broke whatever "Lawyers R Us" prenup he had too.

Team Break That Prenup, Bitch!

[quote] Whatever your personal problems with women are, and they are obviously legion

Not nearly as many problems as you seem to have with men.

[quote] Kev's going to pay the usual rate for multi-millionaire movie stars who play around on their wives and children

Once again, in typical female fashion, you resort to lies and propaganda with absolutely no PROOF to back it up.

Which is why this was not at all included in her divorce filing.

Funny how Christine doesn't accuse him of cheating, but R397 does.

The lies, the lies, the lies women tell. Oh, and then come the tears.

Fucking pathetic.

[quote] Team Break That Prenup, Bitch!

Team "I'm a lying, greedy cunt who will sign my life away just to get the ring on my finger, and then I'll lie, break my word, steal from him, charge hundreds of thousands of dollars to his credit card, and bill him for my lawyer fees because I'm a greedy fucking cunt who only married him for money in the first place!"

There, I fixed it for you R401.

Christine is going to get SO much more than that paltry pre-nup, so much more.

All his current tantrum is doing is making the case for what a petty, vindictive little dick he is. He's becoming more and more of a laughingstock all the time.) He's not thinking of his children at all, just his rage that Christine got the better of him. Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpinteria are small towns. In the case of Montecito and Carp, teeny tiny towns.

I assume his kids go to Cate, it's the best boarding/day school in the area. All the parents know each other, all the kids know all the other kids. For Kevin to go scorched earth on his wife and kids is a bad look and there's a LOT of talk. Those poor kids, he's really doing a number on their lives just to vent his spleen about his wife dumping him.

Everyone in town knows that Kevin plays the field. It's not as if it's a secret. Ben Affleck used to play around here and I'm sure we'll be seeing him again soon, Jeff Bridges, Ashton Kutcher, Denzel, lots of celebs think this is "out of town" since it's not LA or Malibu. It's more discreet when they fuck around here but it's not invisible. Small towns know who's around and exactly what they're doing while they're here.

He won't have her jailed because of the kids. I personally hope the child support is reduced when the oldest is 18.

Anyone else suspicious of the child support amount? Half of $248,000 is $124,000. She's getting just over $129k. What is that about?

Daily Mail has bikini pics of Christine currently in Hawaii with her estranged husband's banker friend.

I would respect the Kev more if this is why he's losing his shit.

She's such a fucking gold digging slut, R406.

I hope she gets eaten by a shark.

BYE BYE!

R23 The four kids/four nannies people need to go down in a violent revolution.

Any meat size info on Costner?

It's about a twenty year marriage where she was responsible for staying home and raising the children. It's about living their lives in a manner that doesn't dump Mommy in a cheap condo while Daddy lives in an ugly beach house compound. It's about adjusting the child support to actually be able to support the children and his ex-wife in a way that will not cause embarrassment and shame for their children.

A well-supported life for a parent with three children in private school, living in a good neighborhood in a nice house with adequate staff and all the usual accoutrement is fucking expensive around here.

Kev wanted to kick the wife and their three children out of his house. He wanted to pay the measly amounts listed in a 20 year old prenup from when they had no children. He wanted (and still wants) to pay $1.5 million for a house here, which covers a semi-nice, small condo. He wanted to add 30k or 50k to that per month, realizing that the actual prenup was garbage at this point.

Mrs Costner and the three minor children need more than $1.5 mil for a proper house. The child support and the rest of the settlement can be worked out but for three kids with the lifestyle they've always known, Kevin's going to have to pay out a decent settlement and that includes at least several million for a house. The way he's trying to nickel and dime his ex-wife and kids to death (filing a complaint about a few pots and pans and dishes for his kids to eat on?) is making Kevin look more and more like a mean-spirited, cheap asshole.

He's never been well-liked locally but that's no big deal. He minds his own business and makes no fuss. Lots of Hollywood people keep a place up here to get away from LA for breaks. It's quiet. The weather's gorgeous. No one gives a crap about them and people leave them alone. We don't have paparazzi here unless they are called in by someone on purpose to stage some shots. It's a nice, calm, beautiful area and we like to keep it that way.

Costner is now creating a problem for himself. You can be a lot of things in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Carpinteria, etc., but being a cheap prick trying to use his kids to hurt his ex-wife isn't among them. Pay the money, do it quietly, don't expose the children to harmful publicity, be cool. Costner is failing and there is a lot of talk about it. People don't like the way he's treating his kids regardless of the situation between Kevin and Christine. People don't want to see this played out in the tabloid headlines every damn day - that's not how we roll up here. Save that shit for Hollywood, hold your temper together and pretend you're a quiet, sensible adult when you're in Santa Barbara.

R408, please make sure that fucking elitist cunt loser R410 is ripped to shreds in that revolution, with its silly head on a pike.

$1.5 million is "measly?"

My god, you are out of touch.

You just need to DIE.

R394 Men's-rights weirdo?

I have a feeling r394 is going to be felled by a coronary event sometime in his 40s or 50s, maybe sooner. His multiple rage events on this thread certainly suggest he's the type. Oh, honey, pour yourself a tall glass of iced tea and chill 🧊. It ain't your money.

A 20 year marriage with three children?

If that's a gold digger she's a gold digger with some very long-range planning.

I'm sure she was attracted to Costner's money and lifestyle. That's the deal when a rich older man marries a much younger woman. A typical gold-digger gets in and gets out as fast as she can with as much as she can take.

20 years is a long, long time for regular gold-digging. This is just a typical old man, hot young woman marriage that's gone bad. Twenty years is a good run, especially for a movie star marriage. Pay up and move on. Nothing to see here.

I need to DIE because I know the Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpinteria real estate market?

Uhm... yeah, okay.

The fact remains that $1.5 million is not going to get more than a semi-decent condo in this area. In a nice neighborhood a four bedroom house is going to go for several million dollars. That's just reality.

Kevin may envision his kids living in a cramped condo with Mom and visiting him at his luxurious compound when he's in town but the rest of the world doesn't see it that way. He will pay up for a decent house and adequate spousal and child support for his three kids and his ex-wife of many years. That's reality, cheapskate dumbass who thinks I should DIE because I deal with reality and not some "Wimmin are all EVIL and out to get those poor, innocent boys" fucking attitude.

He's worth $400 mil, pay up, shut up and stop making a scene to save a few bucks, cheapskate.

Hotdamn!

Girls, GIRLS!!! Costner did not give his estranged wife $1.5 million to buy a new home that is equal to, or less than, $1.5 million. On no planet does anyone, including Kevin Costner, expect that Christine could or should get an entire home or condo in southern California for a total of $1.5 million. That money was a starter fund to get either an apartment going or put a down-payment on a new home. This was explicit in the documents. The assumption was that she would then receive ongoing support to maintain the rent or mortgage.

Well that was fast.

Way to go, Christine! Get that so-much-younger-than-Kevin dick.

She was obviously cheating.

Kevin should bring it up in the divorce.

According to this article in People, her new boyfriend Josh Conner lives near their home in Santa Barbara.

Which means that they've probably been fooling around for quite some time.

Good! Bring that up, Kev. I'm sure it's a fairly recent thing but bring it up anyway.

Then Christine will bring up all the pussy you've been chasing during your entire marriage. It started when you sexually assaulted/harassed a masseuse [italic] while you were on your honeymoon with Christine. [/italic] You had to pay that poor masseuse off. So romantic.

I'm sure Christine will be able to bring up lots and lots of "special friends" and employee fucktoys Kevin's been with over their 20 year marriage. We know how he started right in with them, she'll be able to find so many more.

He's probably super-pissed off that she's with his banker/financier friend. That guy knows how to follow all of Kev's money no matter where he's tried to hide it. Aww... poor widdle Kev-kev!

One more time people, California is a true no-fault state. You don't have to prove your spouse is a whore or wipes his ass on the bath towels.

You don't have to but some people just can't control themselves and have a big meltdown when they get dumped by the wife they've been cheating on since their honeymoon 20 years ago. Go figure.

Who was fucking him in his twenties? He was smokin'.

Josh Connor is goofy looking.

Yeah, she's getting up there in age, but I'd think she could do better than this Connor guy.

She's around 50 now, isn't she more likely to be killed by a terrorist than find another husband?

[quote] Anyone else suspicious of the child support amount? Half of $248,000 is $124,000.

Seems like judges do that half / half thing all the time. Try to make both sides happy by going halfway.

That's why people always ask for twice as much as they want or offer half as much as they're willing to pay which is almost exactly what happened here on both sides of the argument.

It's a dumb, time wasting, lawyer enriching game that actually accomplishes nothing.

Someone said it earlier but this is monopoly money. If this was an anonymous hedge fund manager’s divorce these numbers would be peanuts…there’s nothing wrong with what Costner’s soon to be ex is proposing in terms of child support. Again these numbers are peanuts compared to hedge funds and it’s typical big Hollywood money…a lot of people here sound very bougie with all the shock and horror about the money and the divide between the $38,000 a month and what the wife’s lawyers are proposing. This is what big money is and this is how you play with it. It is all relative.

Thanks for educating the peasants, Miss 1%

He really must be dumb to try and paint her as a cheater when he sexually assaulted a masseuse on his honeymoon. He's just so pissed that she dumped him he can't even understand how stupid it is to point fingers when there is public record of his cheating.

R421 you are way too invested in your divorce, Christine. Why couldn't you have just kept the marriage, money and cheated on the side like a sensible person?

Yeah, I'm Christine in Hawaii with Kevin's financier friend. I just spend time on the Datalounge for giggles.

You found me out, Inspector Clouseau. Tell Kato I said hello.

Christine, go enjoy your husband's millions. Shhh, you couldn't earn yourself, it's ok. It's an unfair world for beautiful women such as yourself. We understand you had to squeeze him everything.

More like I had to squeeze out three kids (which I wanted) and watch Kev-kev run around with side-pieces and trashy masseuses.

I still can't believe he cheated ON OUR HONEYMOON. That told the whole cheating story of our marriage, that's for sure.

Oh Christine, you can't have it all. You got the money, the status, the lifestyle. You were a no name before. If you wanted love you should have married someone poorer, on your level.

You picked him.

I did pick him and now I've dumped him and picked something else, the same way that Kevin picked so many others during the entire duration of our marriage, including on sexually assaulting a masseuse our honeymoon.

People get divorced, it's not unusual. Kevin divorced his first wife whom he cheated on all the time too, he left a bunch of kids behind there as well. Then there was a brief affair with someone, he's got a bastard with that woman. Now he has three children with me, Christine. Spouses will only forgive so much and then they won't forgive any more. Kev reached the limit of his wife's ability to tolerate his cheating ways and she dumped him. His ugly temper tantrum only demonstrates what a fucking nasty piece of work he is.

I hope Christine gets eaten by a shark.

The lady doth protest too much. That's you Christine! The more you defend the less I think you're in the right!

But you think Kevin sexually assaulting that masseuse while on his honeymoon with Christine was just fine too, R439. You think his cheating has been fine throughout the entire marriage. You think him kicking his three children out of their house is fine and filing more papers in court against Christine for bringing some plates, pots, pans and flatware for the kids was just fine too. Of course someone telling the truth is going to trigger you, snowflake. No worries.

You do you, hon. There's nothing I can say that will get through your obvious delusions about Costner. Carry on.

I'm definitely team Costner.

Team Christine. Make him rip his plugs out in despair.

Who is the loon obsessed with what Costner did 20 years ago? Kevin is probably a shitty person, but SHE chose to stay with him.

The pre-nup did not say the she and the kids had to leave the house. It specifically said Christine had to vacate the marital home within 30 days of filing for divorce. Kevin is asking what was legally agreed to in that document.

Christine should have re-read the pre-nup before she filed. Also, she should have revisited the pre-nup as each child was born. That would have taken care of the low amount she would have received when she left. Take a note from Melania and/or Marcia from Succession. Marcia agreed to return to Logan with some renegotiated financial considerations.

Just like Melania Trump keeps renegotiating her arrangements with Fuckface von Clownstick. I hope she gets a fucking fortune from that pig.

Maybe Christine should have renegotiated but apparently she didn't and now it's 20 years later and she has three children that she's raising. Obviously she has custody, Kevin doesn't want or ask for custody - he just wants the kids not to have dishes or pots and pans in whatever cheap house he's trying to banish them to. It won't last long. This is Santa Barbara County, Christine will get a good settlement and Kevin will pay it. His very public antics and scorched earth tactics are not a good look. He appears to be an uncaring, vicious father, punishing his children because his marriage to their mother failed.

There's an interesting story going around about Kevin's girlfriend/primary mistress. He bought her a house nearby and now has plans to move her into his house in place of his wife and children. What a great fucking guy! I wonder if she's another masseuse?

Sorry R445 but if Christine can scamper on the beach with a man, Kevin can do as he pleases. I believe Kevin wants joint custody of the children; that was posted upthread.

I agree about the shoulda, woulda, coulda on the pre-nup. We live, we learn as the saying goes.

Sure, Kev can do whatever he likes. Everything that he does do now is just more fodder for this divorce case. He is not looking good in Santa Barbara County. He looks vindictive and cheap. The "how dare you take pots and pans and dishes for our children" court filing was probably the last straw for the mums and dads in this neighborhood.

You can cheat for decades and nobody cares but when you start fucking over your own kids for petty revenge on your wife - you lose. He may not care, he doesn't socialize around here. Judges and jurors who will decide this case do socialize here and Kevin is burying himself with the moves he's making. He should keep the mistress in the house he bought for her until after the divorce.

Christine would have been smarter to keep the candy store and get the spinach on the side.

I have always gotten a sanctimonious vibe from Kevin. The kind of self-righteousness you only see in someone who is himself profoundly assholish. (Assholic?)

I guess we're seeing that on display now.

Having said that, Christine is a classic gold digger and she was bad at her job.

I feel really sorry for the kids. But being a kid is tough all over, so I'm not sure they're any worse off than any other kids, all things considered.

There is so much gossip about Kevin around town right now and none of it's good.

His "She's taking Pots and Pans and Dishes for the kids house!" complaint gets heard in the first week of August. That's getting a lot of attention and eye-rolling from the neighbors around here. You simply don't do that to your kids.

A quiet separation followed by a non-contentious, discreet divorce settlement and custody agreement is the way we do things in Santa Barbara County.

Unless you're a fucking asshole.

FUCK ALL GOLD DIGGING CUNTS.

AND FUCK R450 FOR TRYING TO SWAY PUBLIC OPINION IN FAVOR OF THE GOLD DIGGING CUNT.

SHE IS A THIEF, A USER, A CHEATER, AND A LIAR.

PLUS, SHE WAS FUCKING HER NEIGHBOR BEFORE SHE FILED FOR DIVORCE.

SO SHE'S A SLUT CUNT ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE.

AND R450 CAN DIE IN A GREASE FIRE!!!!

Good heavens, R451, calm yourself. There's no need for all that silly shouting. Kevin's primary mistress lives right in the neighborhood, R451. She's lived there to be convenient for him to be able to cheat on his wife and kids with her for a long time. Everybody around here knows it. Apparently Kev is planning on moving his primary mistress in as soon as he throws his wife and kids out of their house.

It's certainly not my fault that Kevin Costner is showing himself to be mean, vindictive, vicious, penny-pinching and more than willing to let his kids suffer and be publicly humiliated so that he can vent his out of control temper on his wife. A wife, I hasten to remind you, that Kevin was planning on filing for divorce against her himself first, she just beat him to it. Apparently the marriage has been broken down for quite some time.

After Kevin cheated on his new bride with a masseuse on their honeymoon (and with countless others since then), I'm surprised that the marriage lasted for so long. Poor Christine Costner, he's treated her like dirt ever since he married her. How much did he have to pay the masseuse in his "Honeymoon Sexual Assault" case again? I don't remember. It wasn't nothing, that's for sure.

Anyway, Kevin still looks like an asshole in this divorce. You ranting and raving in all caps on the Datalounge won't do a thing to change that for him. Everybody in town is talking about what a vicious cunt he's being to his kids. That's the kind of thing that people (including his kids) will really remember about Kevin Costner.

^Get a life you weirdo^

If it was a bum ass man taking support from a self made woman you'd feel different.

Like K Fed and Kelly Clarkson's greedy ex, Sofia Vergara's asshole ex.

The only one I feel sorry for is Halle Berry's ex

Team Christine. Kevin's a hypocritical sleazedog and he has fake hair so he deserves to be punished.

Kelsey Grammer's ex-wife Camille got $30 million in their divorce settlement. They had at least 2 kids, IIRC. Kelsey had already met someone new, though, and was motivated to put an end to the divorce. They were married for 13 years.

[quote] Kevin Costner and kids vacation in Aspen ahead of estranged wife Christine's court-ordered move-out day

Kevin Costner's messy divorce from wife Christine isn't keeping him from enjoying a vacation with their three kids.

Photos have surfaced of the Yellowstone actor, 68, looking every bit the cowboy in Aspen this week. The man who played rancher John Dutton, was dressed in double denim with a white cowboy hat and tan boots. He was spotted with Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13, the youngest of his seven children, at the airport helping with their luggage. Father and kids then stopped at a grocery store for provisions.

The children are fresh off a trip to Hawaii with Christine, who filed for divorce from the Oscar winner on May 1 after 18 years of marriage. The former jewelry designer, 49, was accompanied by a friend of the former couple, Josh Connor. She's now back at home in the Santa Barbara, Calif.-area, where the family resides on a beachfront compound. Christine was snapped running errands, at CVS, wearing a "sun kissed" T-shirt.

While Kevin has the kids, Christine has a deadline — to move out of the compound, estimated to be worth $100 million, before July 31, a judge ruled earlier this month. She had wanted to stay longer, even suggesting they initially share the sprawling property, which the actor bought prior to their marriage. Kevin, who owned the compound prior to their marriage, has paid Christine over $1.2 million, per his prenuptial agreement obligations, toward a new home and offered to cover her moving costs to get her out. She's now collecting $129,000 a month in child support as well.

This is Kevin's second vacation this month with their children, previously traveling with them to British Columbia. He's long owned his Aspen property, which is where he married Christine in 2004. In legal papers arguing for even more child support, Christine said the Colorado estate — which boasts three homes, two lakes and is bordered by a national forest that can't be developed — is worth $250 million. In Kevin's response, he said the houses are actually used as rental properties. (For $36,000 a night.) Kevin, who said the kids visit the Aspen home just two-weeks a year, also said he'd be willing to give Christine a rent-free week each year in his Aspen main house (if she was going with their kids) to sweeten their settlement.

Kevin didn't want the divorce and has accused Christine of plotting her exit long before her May 1 filing. They've been in a major legal battle since over enforcing their 2004 prenup, in which he promised her $1 million toward a new house and to cover the costs of her mortgage, property tax and insurance for a year — but she was required to vacate his property within 30 days. Christine is challenging the prenup, claiming he's worth $400 million — and made $19,517,064.32 last year alone. For his part, Kevin said he's making far less this year after quitting Yellowstone and mortgaging another property to make his film series Horizon. (He's also accused his estranged wife of spending an exorbitant amount of money on plastic surgery.)

Next on the schedule in their contentious divorce is a Nov. 22 case management conference ahead of a Nov. 27 hearing to determine the validity/enforceability of their prenup. However, it seems the judge has already found the document to be binding, per the ruling that Christine must move out.

Poor Kevin. He must have felt so blindsided by that ungrateful gold digger.

The Maul has photos today of the tiny modular home that Christine is allegedly moving into, down the street from Costner's mansion. It's on a large lot with shipping containers strewn about nearby - what gives? It doesn't look big enough for one person never mind a woman and three kids.

Where is our Santa Barbara-area poster? Is this lot also owned by Costner and where are the kids staying. Will link to the article in the next post.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Ding Dong, she's gone! Halleluiah!!

We thought the bitch would never leave.

[quote] Kevin Costner's Estranged Wife Christine Moves Out of Their Home

Kevin Costner's estranged wife Christine is officially relocating.

On Friday — a day after Christine, 49, was pictured running errands in Montecito, California — moving trucks were seen leaving the $145 million Santa Barbara compound that she has shared with Costner, 68, and their children during her 18-year marriage to the actor in photos obtained by Page Six and other outlets.

“Christine is following the legal advice per the prenup and is vacating the family house," a source confirms to PEOPLE, adding that she "will stay at a smaller house on the property that’s been used as a staff quarter."

"This is a temporary solution," the insider adds. "She is still looking for another house. She is staying in the area to not disrupt the kids’ lives. They will be back at school in the fall with their friends.

"Christine is trying to keep everything as normal as possible. Her sole focus is the kids,” the source tells PEOPLE.

The moving truck sighting comes days before Christine is legally required to move out of the home, as earlier this month a judge ordered that she must do so by Monday, July 31.

Christine, who is going through contentious divorce proceedings with Costner, had originally requested to have until Aug. 31 to move out if a child-support agreement had been made. The Yellowstone actor requested for her to move out by July 13.

Kevin Costner and now-estranged wife Christine in Hollywood on Nov. 8, 2014 An attorney for Christine did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment Friday.

On July 5, Judge Thomas Anderele ruled that Christine (née Baumgartner) would have to move out of the home she shares with Costner by the end of July, according to court documents.

"He was relieved," a source told PEOPLE at the time of Costner's reaction to the ruling.

Christine had remained in the home since filing for divorce on May 1, despite a clause in her prenuptial agreement that reportedly required her to leave within 30 days.

The July 6 meeting came after PEOPLE obtained court documents filed on June 30, in which Costner’s legal team claimed that Christine allegedly “grasps at straws with one baseless argument after another,” as to why she should be allowed to stay in his home.

Costner, the document continued, “respectfully requests that Christine be ordered to vacate his separate property residence forthwith and no later than July 13, 2023.”

Both the Oscar winner and his estranged wife are coming off of separate, back-to-back summer vacations with their three children: Grace, 13, Hayes, 14, and Cayden, 16. (The Field of Dreams actor is also dad to three adult children — Annie, 39, Lily, 36, and Joe, 35 — with his ex-wife Cindy Silva, as well as son Liam, 26, with former partner Bridget Rooney.)

Earlier this month, Costner took his three teenagers to British Columbia, causing him to be out of town for a July 12 court date.

Christine was then spotted with their kids on a getaway to Hawaii last week, where she enjoyed some fun in the sun with Grace as they walked along the beach and took selfies while posing by the water.

She was also seen spending time with Josh Connor, a financier who lives near the family in California, at the beach in Hawaii.

The latter vacation came just a week after Christine was awarded $129,000 per month in child support from Costner. She had previously requested $248,000, an amount the actor's side slammed as "inflated."

R459, it's not Kevin's - it's a rental. It's not big enough for her and their three children. They're going to be crammed in like sardines in there.

The court hasn't determined the settlement for the wife and children yet. After that happens she'll be able to buy a proper house in the neighborhood where everyone will be comfortable and the kids can have their friends over. That silly prenup wouldn't even afford this crappy little rental.

The Maul is reporting that it is Kevin's, it's on his property and its staff quarters! Egads! He has her and the kids living with the maid.

I wouldn't be shocked if he let the kids keep all of their stuff in their own bedrooms in his house, and told them they could stay there when he's there or in company of nannies when he's not. I just can't imagine him cramming them into that modular house when he has something 20,000 square feet to roam around.

[quote] He has her and the kids living with the maid.

Where she belongs.

It would be hilarious if Kevin moved the kids in with him, and when they want to see Mommy, they have to visit the Maid's quarters.

Rofl!!!

It's on his property for their staff? That'll teach me to shoot my mouth off about gossip instead of just driving over there to see it for myself.

Sorry about that, DLers.

Shaun and I were attending a "Wealthy peoples BBQ" in Santa Barbara County 2 weeks ago, and the "Divorce" is all they were talking& gossiping about at the party. Some really good stories on the Costner marriage that are already out there.

FYI DL, the flatware at the BBQ was "Georgian"(George III) & the water pitcher was 17th century Dutch.

You gotta love "olde East Coast $$$$" that doesn't run out

So did you overhear any good gossip, R466???

Spill the details!

We win!

Our parents are spoiling us rotten!

That mini-home is really small. The news article says that it sits on a "vacant lot" owned by Kevin, but that vacant lot is right next to the sprawling mansion Christine just moved out of.

When I first saw the mini-home, I thought it was probably built as a children's clubhouse or a temporary residence for someone who's doing work on the house.

I think she's just trying to stay in the vicinity. That's really weird that she ended up in that mini-home. I wonder what's in all of those shipping containers that surround the mini-home. Were the containers already there? Or is that all her stuff that can't fit into the mini-home?

This divorce is getting crazy.

[quote] I think she's just trying to stay in the vicinity. That's really weird that she ended up in that mini-home.

Is the whore fucking her new boyfriend on Kevin's property?

Or do they walk over his house to fuck?

He does live close by, after all.

Christine won't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of!

Does Kevin walk over to his mistresses house to fuck her? Or does he fuck her in another one of these "staff" houses?

I wonder if she's starting to rethink the divorce.

It sounds like the mistress on call has a better home than the mother of his three teenagers? So wait, I thought they were all boys until I saw the name "Grace?"- "

Same thought r474. Costner seems to have an "on the spectrum" ability to be a gigantic cunt, even when a better settlement would have been to everyone's benefit, including his.

Supposedly he was ready to file for a divorce from her anyway so this has been coming for quite a while.

Just settle a decent amount for the wife of 18 years and three children to live comfortably in a good neighborhood and have a nice, quiet divorce. Costner's got $400million, I don't see what the problem is here. He doesn't actually expect that he's going to get out of an 18 year marriage with three children for $1.45mil in chump change. I mean, he's not stupid, right?

[quote] Costner seems to have an "on the spectrum" ability to be a gigantic cunt, even when a better settlement would have been to everyone's benefit, including his.

No. It only would have been to HER benefit.

Why in the fucking hell should he give her even one more penny than he has to?

Especially since she asked for the divorce, and she signed a pre-nup.

She got exactly what she A) asked for, and B) deserves.

So fuck her.

He doesn't only expect it, but LEGALLY according to the pre-nup she signed, it's all he's obligated to pay the cheating slut.

You said the key words: "Costner's got $400 million." You're right. It's KEVIN COSTNER's money. Not hers. And if it was her money, I guarantee that you double standard cunts would be saying that she shouldn't pay him a penny.

So go fuck yourself.

And of course you "don't see the problem here." Because it's not your money.

[quote] I mean, he's not stupid, right?

No, but you are.

You're either a woman, or a male attorney, expecting Kevin to just roll over and give this cheating cunt what she wants, just because she has a pussy.

WRONG!

Kevin is already winning.

The cunt had to move out, and she's lucky that he even allows her to continue living on his property. And it's probably only to make it easy for the kids. Otherwise her rotten twat would be out on skid row.

R477, you're a terrible person and the woman who cheated on you, dumped you and took you for every cent she could get deserved every bit of that money. I'm sure she was never so happy as the day she got the fuck away from a cunt like you.

To get back to the point for a minute, here in Santa Barbara County Christine and her three children will receive a decent settlement and Kevin Costner will pay it. He's sitting on $400 million. The 18 year old prenup will be a starting point. She'll end up with approximately $30 million, that's what I hear is the norm for their level of income, the length of the marriage, the three children and their lifestyle.

Kevin can continue to act like a little bitch and fight over plates and pots and pans, or he can grow the fuck up. It's time to keep his business out of gossip columns, off of the internet and handled with discretion.

[quote] She'll end up with approximately $30 million, that's what I hear is the norm for their level of income, the length of the marriage, the three children and their lifestyle.

That's what YOU think.

You keep repeating this bullshit that Christine will get this and Christine will get that, and Christine won't have to move out, and Kevin will have to pay this and that, but you have been WRONG every single time.

Christine hasn't gotten a goddamned thing she has asked for.

And if you had even bothered to read the article at R457, you would have taken note that:

[quote] Next on the schedule in their contentious divorce is a Nov. 22 case management conference ahead of a Nov. 27 hearing to determine the validity/enforceability of their prenup. However, it seems the judge has already found the document to be binding, per the ruling that Christine must move out.

Which means that she won't even get anything CLOSE to a $30 million settlement, no matter how much you repeat that bullshit.

THE JUDGE HAS ALREADY FOUND THE PRE-NUP TO BE BINDING, you dumbass.

Which is why she had to move out last Friday.

My god, women are fucking dumb.

You're dumb. I never said Christine wouldn't have to move out. I always said that Kevin would get to keep his ugly house.

The judge has not already found in Kevin's favor and has not found all the terms and conditions of the prenup valid now. Look at what the judge ordered Kevin to pay Christine per month. That's a lot more than was in that old prenup.

She'll get a decent settlement that includes a respectable property in a good neighborhood near Costner's house on the beach. We're not savages in Santa Barbara County. This isn't OJ Simpson-land where he takes the huge mansion and the wife moves into a little condo with the children. She was married to Costner for 18 years, had three children with him, stayed home and raised them. I don't know how much money Costner's made over the last 18 years but California is a community property state. Christine may not get half of what Costner's made for all those years but she'll get a substantial settlement, even if it makes R479 foam at the mouth and have more of his bizarro world fits.

FYI, the next hearing in this matter is scheduled for August 2nd, honey. It's the "emergency hearing" on whether Christine and the three children will be allowed some dishes, pots and pans.

[quote] August 2nd, honey. It's the "emergency hearing" on whether Christine and the three children will be allowed some dishes, pots and pans

He should fling them at her head and say, "Here! Take 'em, you stupid gold-digging slut!"

I'm beginning to think that r479 and r480 are Kevin Costner and Christine Costner.

R477 are you ok? You are having some pretty strong reactions there.

R477 is also the OP, and all of his MANY responses on the thread he started call Christine Costner a cheating cunt, a cunt slut, etc. His issues with women are profound, indeed. He makes Norman Bates seem like a paragon of mental health.

So no, he's not at all okay.

How did r477 get that way? It seems to take his entire mental and emotional capacity to be so angry and wrapped up in a totally facetious celebrity divorce that his proclamations sound like their coming out of Tucker Carlson's newly paralyzed X mouth.

What gives, boo? Tell us more about yourself, please.

R477 really needs to tell us all about the terrible, awful, no-good, very bad woman who hurt him. We need the details of the settlement she and their children got when they all left R477 to live alone in his rage/shame spiral.

A recent Indian film summed things up nicely:

Is that before widows are required to self-immolate on the husband's funeral pyre?

I'm only asking because, you know, the obvious...

R477 is no worse than the overly invested loon on here who constantly posts about what everyone in Santa Barbara is thinking, and who will probably have a seizure if Christine is not allowed to clean out Kevin's bank accounts.

Meh. I just like fucking with the "Kevin is a saint and Christine is a cheating cunt" loon and I'm local to the Costners.

Just put me on ignore if you don't enjoy it, dear. This is not rocket science.

Sure dear. Just keep telling yourself that.

Ignore is your friend, r491, perhaps the only one you have left.

When my parents divorced (Dad left Mom and us kids), his lawyer argued that Mom could get a job and only received alimony for 2 years. Christine can work so I don't see where she needs to receive $30 million. The kids are all in school now and will start college soon. Time to dust off that BeDazzler and start cranking out shitty-looking handbags, Chris!

Personally, I don't think the person who wants the divorce should make out like a king (or queen) when the marriage ends. She shouldn't have the exact same lifestyle she enjoyed while married. Reasonably close, yes, but not the same. Give her $10-$15M and shuffle her off to Buffalo.

[QUOTE]his lawyer argued that Mom could get a job and only received alimony for 2 years.

OMG. Shuffle off to Buffalo? You must be older than dirt.

She didn't work during the marriage while presumably raising you? What kind of child support did she receive? And did she find out about her lawyer from a bus stop bench advertisement,?

R494, Yes, I am older than dirt.

No, Mom was a housewife and raised us kids. She didn't get a part-time job until I (the last child) was in school full-time. Dad and Mom got pregnant just before Mom graduated HS so she didn't to to college until after the divorce. I honestly don't remember if my Mom had an attorney but I assume she did. She never thought Dad would be so heartless and allow his attorney to do that and then agree to it. Child support was $250/month/per child in the 70s (my sister and I) until we were 18 and then he had to pay for college. My sister was 11 and I was 9 when Dad left.

I don't think it's about the spouse, it's about the children. The kids live a certain kind of life and they live their lives that way whether they are staying with Mom or Dad after a divorce. You don't make the children live in a cramped two bedroom condo with dad and a gigantic mansion with mom or vice versa. The lives of the kids stay on an even keel, regardless of which parent they are with.

He has seven children that we know of. Three are in their 30's with his first wife, there's a kid in his 20's from some random girlfriend and these three with Christine. These three children are 12, 14 and 15. Nobody's going away to college for years.

She's going to find another rich man because she's "Kevin Costner's ex wife." Even that is a currency.

For gold digging whores.

R498= jealous ugly broke slut

Kevin's 1st divorce (Cindy Silva) cost him $80 million. Cindy Silva apparently got the house and Costner found himself "homeless." Kevin said: never again. Hence, the prenup with Christine.

1st divorce happened in 1994.

It's not right. People are greedy.

R501, what's not right? $1.3 for Kelly Clarkson sounds like a win. $45K per month ($540,000 per year) in child support does sound like a lot, though.

Clarkson got off easy, I presume because she has a lot less money than Kevin Costner.

Clarkson's husband got the usual payout for her income bracket. That will have to do for him because I doubt that Kelly's having more hit records.

[quote] Clarkson got off easy, I presume because she has a lot less money than Kevin Costner.

Actually it's because she has a pussy, and there's a double standard.

But you don't hear the Christine Baumgartner troll demanding that Clarkson pay more money to her ex-husband.

In California child support is determined by a computer formula. No pussies are involved, hon, and no double standards. r They used the exact same formula for Kelly Clarkson that they used for Kevin Costner. It's math.

I believe that I am the Christine Costner troll of whom you speak or one of them anyway. If they tried to put Clarkson's ex in a tiny condo with the kids while she lived in a big mansion by herself, I'd tell her that she needed to pay more money to her ex-husband.

I never bitched about Madge having to pay off her toyboy Guy Ritchie and she had to cough up a fucking fortune. That's the way the divorce cookie crumbles kids, man or woman it makes no difference.

Cate Blanchett (who is getting ready to divorce her useless husband) is going to have to cough up a very sizeable chunk of her fortune. He's an Australian theater director who makes very little/no money. She makes all the money and she's going to have to let go of a bunch of it.

This is the way of things. You think it's some kind evil wimmin v saintly put-upon men but it's not. It's rich v poor.

Clarkson didn't get off easy, she just doesn't have as much money as Costner. On what planet is Clarkson on the same level as Costner, money wise?

R506, they use exactly the same financial computer formula to calculate how much child support Kelly Clarkson pays that they use to calculate how much Kevin Costner pays. It's the same formula, they just plug in whatever the numbers happen to be and it calculates the payments for the court to award.

It's not a conspiracy against Kevin Costner, it's just math. The math is the same for everyone.

Put in Kelly's numbers - it spits out 27% of her earnings for x number of years and based on that it calculates how much she has to pay the ex-husband and kids.

Put in Kevin's numbers - it spits out 27% of his earnings for x number of years and based on that it calculates how much he has to pay the ex-wife and kids.

No one's choosing a side, no one's lawyer has any advantage - it's just the formula used in the state of California for EVERYONE. (I don't know what the actual percentage is, I randomly chose 27%)

Lol no, just no. It's more like the makers vs. the takers (using 'the kids' as the reason ; )

Kelly Clarkson filed for divorce from her husband Brandon Blackstock in June 2020 after almost seven years of marriage. Last month, a judge ordered Ms. Clarkson to pay her husband nearly $200,000 a month in spousal and child support. If you’re gasping at the amount, you should be – this is a huge amount of support to be owed to a future ex-spouse every month. However, if you are a celebrity, it might not make a huge dent. Especially since Ms. Clarkson earns more than $1.5 million per month in income according to a recent court filing.

Even so, the order details that Ms. Clarkson pay $150,000 per month in spousal support and $45,601 per month in child support and is strictly temporary support until a final settlement is worked out. Although this is temporary, it is interesting to wonder what the likelihood would be that Ms. Clarkson be ordered to pay her ex-husband this amount in permanent spousal support. This is important to think about, especially given that Mr. Blackstock made the very deliberate choice to leave his career as an entertainment manager and become a rancher full time. Therefore, it seems that Ms. Clarkson is the breadwinner in the family. However, he still spends some time managing his remaining client, country artist Blake Shelton. These facts are important when a court considers ordering permanent spousal support. In this article, we will detail what judges look at when ordering a permanent support order and a supported spouse’s duty to become self-sufficient.

Spousal support is one thing, child support is where the real money is and the more interesting area to take a look around.

I think Clarkson's payments were steep but the difference is she wants the kids and her ex knew that, lived in "Montana" on the ranch and could have fought her and had the kids living there, particularly b/c she works so much and he doesn't. I think when you add up what she ended up paying him it was 10 to 15 million which is way more than the pre nup permitted. But she was very smart to just pay him off with a fixed amount- which will hurt but she can afford- to have him go away. He will not bother her or the kids now.

Now the greedy cunt is stalling and pretending to be "confused" when signing the pre-nup.

I hope the judge slams her for it!

[quote] Kevin Costner Says Christine Baumgartner Is Trying to ‘Delay’ Divorce, Slams Prenup Confusion

Kevin Costner has accused estranged wife Christine Baumgartner of intentionally prolonging their divorce, according to new court documents obtained by Us Weekly.

“Christine has only thrown roadblock after roadblock up in an unjustified effort to avoid answering this discovery,” Costner, 68, wrote in a Thursday, August 10, filing, which he claims are only meant to further “delay” the process.

Costner is seeking monetary sanctions against Baumgartner, 49, for allegedly failing to respond to his discovery requests. The Yellowstone star claimed in his motion that he served Baumgartner with written discovery requests in May to “elicit her contentions as to the validity” of the prenuptial agreement that they signed upon their 2004 marriage.

Costner noted that they were looking for a “very basic discovery” in regard to the “facts, documents and witnesses supporting her contentions” of their divorce battle.

Costner claimed that Baumgartner "steadfastly refused” to reveal her divorce contentions and has alleged that she “cannot admit or deny that she understood” their executed prenup. (She has not yet addressed his recent claims.)

“Christine asserts she cannot admit or deny that she understood the Premarital Agreement because she (and apparently all of her attorneys) do not understand the word ‘understood.’ This is gamesmanship of the worst sort,” the new docs read. “‘Understood’ is not a technical or arcane word. It is not ground for objection that a request is ambiguous, unless it is so ambiguous that the responding party cannot in good faith frame an intelligent reply.

The notion that Christine and the multiple seasoned lawyers representing her do not understand the word ‘understood’ and cannot reply to this simple, straightforward [request for admission] is frivolous. Clearly, this vagueness objection was interposed only for the purpose of delay.”

Us confirmed in May that Baumgartner filed for divorce from Costner after 19 years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of their split. The twosome have since been involved in a messy legal battle over finances, residency of their family home and child support. Costner and Baumgartner share three kids: Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13. (Costner is also the father of daughters Annie, 39, and Lily, 36, and son Joe, 35, with ex-wife Cindy Silva, and son Liam, 26, with Bridget Rooney.)

Baumgartner alleged one month later in June that Costner was attempting to kick her out of their shared residence and that she needed substantial child support payments to cover their children’s living expenses. Costner, however, claimed that he couldn’t afford her specific child support request because he “will earn substantially less in 2023” after Yellowstone’s fifth and final season wraps. Costner also alleged that most of Baumgartner’s expenses are used for her personal benefit rather than the kids’ necessities.

A judge later ruled that Costner must pay Baumgartner $129,755 per month in child support and ordered her to vacate his residence by the end of July.

Amid all the heated back and forth, Costner also asked the court to seal their upcoming divorce depositions, according to documents filed on Monday, August 7.

“Kevin is a public figure. The press and media recently encamped outside of his home, making ingress and egress difficult, if not impossible,” his attorneys wrote in the docs, which Us obtained. “If the date and location of the depositions of the parties is made public, the safety of the parties and counsel will be at risk. Ingress to and egress from the building in which the depositions will occur will become extremely difficult, to the point where law enforcement will likely be needed to clear streets, walkways and insure public safety. The order requested may obviate that need and protect the parties and counsel.”

More useless legal filings from Kev, trying to make his soon-to-be ex-wife look bad.

She looks normal, he looks like a whiny little bitch. Again.

The only one who looks like a whiny bitch - and a complete FOOL - is you, R512.

Kevin is going to win this war.

Kevin should just remove the gold-digging bloodsucker from his property completely.

Get his security to drag her off the premises and fling her on the street.

Kevin already lost this war, it's simply a matter of how much it's going to cost him. Estimates vary but most put it at about $30 million. That seems low but I'm sure that Christine Costner and their children will be fine with that.

With an estimated $400 million fortune, Kev can easily afford it. He'd be getting out cheap at $30 million for a 20 year marriage with three minor children still living with Christine. Didn't Kev make $20 million for last year alone? He'll be fine.

Repeating that line over and over, AD NAUSEUM, won't make it so R515.

She will have to abide by the pre-nup and will get exactly what she agreed to. And NOTHING more.

So fuck her!

She's already gotten more than that silly, breakable prenup called for and she'll get even more before this is over.

Math doesn't appear to be your strong suit.

Did your sacred (and already broken) prenup call for Kevity-kev-kev to pay Christine $129,000 a month? No it did not but that's what he has to pay her every month anyway. Look kid, he's lucky he doesn't have to pay her half of every dime he's earned over the past 18 years. If he walks away only $30 million poorer, he should be doing the happy dance.

Was Christine on Maui? Is she a burned-to-a-cinder aging Barbie now?

Gold Digging Whores are like cockroaches.

They always find a way to survive.

Just like cheap, old, worn-out, saggy-sacked husbands always find a way to put their mistresses on the payroll.
