Kevin Costner’s divorce from estranged wife Christine Baumgartner continues to weave it way through the legal system. Ahead of a court hearing slated for next week, in her latest court filing (obtained by People), Baumgartner issued a request for $175,057 per month in child support, an increase of $46K from the $129K she’s currently receiving each month.

According to that document, “forensics has determined that [Kevin’s] average cash flow available for support for the two-year period of 2021 and 2022 was $19,248,467 per year ($1,604,039 per month).

Based on this cash flow, and a 50/50 parenting time share, the guideline child support, which is presumptively correct under California law, is $175,057 per month.” READ MORE: Kevin Costner Denies Having Extramarital Affair, Estranged Wife Claims He’s Being ‘Evasive’ About Finances In addition, “Christine brings this request in order to uphold these Family Law principles and to assure that the parties’ three minor children will continue to have the benefit of the lifestyle that has been made possible by Kevin’s substantial earnings and wealth.” Meanwhile, Baumgartner is continuing to challenge the prenuptial agreement she signed prior to their wedding, particularly the “spousal support limitation,” which her lawyers claim was “unconscionable at the time of enforcement.” However, as People points out, challenging the prenup could threaten the $1.5 million payout the prenup guarantees in event of divorce.
