Judge rules Kevin Costner's estranged wife can't take property from $145 million estate

A judge ruled Friday that Kevin Costner's estranged wife Christine Baumgartner cannot take items from the Carpinteria home they once shared as she moves into a new space.

The judge stood behind his tentative ruling during a July 14 hearing. "Christine shall be permitted to remove her toiletries, clothing, hand bangs and jewelry from Kevin’s Beach Club Road residence," according to the judge's ruling, obtained by Fox News Digital. "Christine is prohibited from removing any other items from the property, including, but not limited to furniture, furnishings, appliances and artwork from the Beach Club Road residences and from any storage unit maintained by the parties, whether jointly or individually absent a written agreement executed or by the parties or further court order." Costner's team argued that Baumgartner should not be allowed to take items from the beach home without the "Yellowstone" star's expressed permission as the pre-marital agreement says there is no community property.

The ex parte petition, filed July 13 and obtained by Fox News Digital, revealed some of the contested items, including "some pots and pans," "some appliances: chopper, juicer," "random items: a glass vase, a dog bed, throw blankets, Peloton…" among other household items.

Costner's petition insists that Baumgartner has $1.5 million at her disposal, which is "plenty of money to buy furniture, pots and pans and dishes." Baumgartner's legal team slammed the ex parte hearing as a smear campaign by Costner's team. "Clearly Kevin is angry about the court's recent ruling on the child support and fee request, and his legal team is using this ex parte hearing as an opportunity to play the press and smear Christine," her objection, also filed.
