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

usmagazine.com:

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.
