Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner ‘s Legal Battle

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner’s divorce has been a highly publicized legal battle, marked by disputes over finances and child support. The couple, who were married for 18 years and share three children, reached a settlement in September 2023 after several months of intense litigation.

Baumgartner filed for divorce in May 2023, and the legal proceedings that followed involved debates over the prenuptial agreement, child support, and living arrangements. At one point, Baumgartner sought $175,000 per month in child support, but a judge eventually set the amount at $63,209 per month, which aligned with Costner’s proposal. Costner expressed concerns that the requested payments were excessive and beyond the needs of their children​

The settlement marks the conclusion of their contentious divorce, and both parties have agreed to an amicable resolution of all issues. Baumgartner has since moved out of their shared home, and the couple appears to be moving forward with co-parenting​
