Kevin Costner’s ex Christine Baumgartner calls $129K monthly child support ‘insufficient’: report
nypost.comcost Kevin more than he thinks.Kevin Costner’s estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, reportedly wants the “Yellowstone” star to dig deeper into his wallet when it comes to monthly child support — apparently arguing that $129,000 a month isn’t enough to maintain their kids’ lush lifestyle.
In legal documents obtained Friday by TMZ, Baumgartner, 49, is allegedly asking the court to make Costner, 68, pay her around $175,057 per month so their three kids can experience the same lifestyle with each parent.Baumgartner reportedly claims in the documents that the kids live with their dad in a beach compound worth between $65 million and $95 million, and take private planes while on fancy vacations with him.
The handbag designer claims the “Untouchables” actor should pay more in child support “so that the children can go on comparable vacations when they are with her.
This is true even if the child support payments also improve Christine’s lifestyle.”Baumgartner added that this is simply the standard required by the California family code and that the mere $175,000 “will not be sufficient to replicate Kevin’s lifestyle, but it will be sufficient to allow her to provide a lifestyle for the children which is relatively comparable.”The Post has contacted reps for Costner and Baumgartner for comment.
