Kevin Costner’s Estranged Wife Claims She Lacks ‘Sufficient Funding’ to Vacate Family Home

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner’s split has only gotten messier as the estranged couple continues to duke it out in court.In court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Wednesday, Jun 21, Baumgartner, 49, alleges Costner, 68, is using “public attacks” designed to “pressure me to move out without a temporary child support agreement in place.” But, she claims, she cannot leave their home because she doesn’t have enough cash to maintain the family’s current lifestyle.When Baumgartner and Costner tied the knot in 2004, the pair signed a prenuptial agreement which stated that if either party chose to file for divorce they would have 30 days to vacate their shared residence.

However, in the recent filing, the docs state that the agreement was made before the pair had children together — they share sons Cayden, 16, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 13 — and therefore, the children’s needs were “not contemplated nor accounted for.”Baumgartner claims that she has “no personal income” and that a $1 million payment Costner made to her per the terms of the prenup was deposited into an account without her “consent or knowledge.” Baumgartner says in the filing that she has “instructed” the funds to be returned to him.“Kevin is trying to force my concession that the spousal support limitation is valid by virtue of my ‘acceptance’ of these funds,” she alleges. “I believe that Kevin’s goal is to get me to tap into this money so he can argue that I’ve waived my right to challenge the premarital agreement.”In order to view the video, please allow Manage CookiesUs confirmed in May that Baumgartner filed for divorce from Costner, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
