The “Bodyguard” star is also excited that the hard part is over, and they can finally make up. She doesn’t “want to fight anymore” with Baumgartner because she remains “the mother of her children.”
The source stated that the actress will make sure her kids stay “within the standard of living they’re used to living,” adding that she “doesn’t want them to want for anything.”
They stated that Costner will “always love” his ex-wife and that it is “important to him that she and the children [were] taken care of” even if they fight with divorce.

Although they have finalized the divorce and reached an agreement on the issue of child support, the couple is set to return to court in November to complete the process. Despite the decision, Costner still believes that Baumgartner wants to fight the court in his favor.
A source told US: “Kevin knows Christine is not done yet.” They added, “He was relieved because of that first step [gone his way] … but Christine is definitely not going to give up in an all-out war.”
While going back and forth on the ideal child support payment, Costner revealed that he was unable to pay his ex-wife’s initial request.
He explained that he expects to earn “less in 2023” than usual since he left “Yellowstone.” Costner added that he could “run out of money” given the situation. However, Baumgartner, in the end, claimed that the price was necessary to maintain a good standard of living for their children.

Costner opened up in an interview with Access Hollywood about the extent to which the process affects his life. He reveals how strange it is to be on the opposite side of someone he swore to love forever.
“This is a terrible place, but this is where we are,” Costner said. “It feels so bad and we’re talking about someone I love on the other side, I can’t.”
The handbag designer’s lawyer argued in court that their children have luxury embedded “in their DNA” hence the large child support request.
After a contentious battle, the court ruled in Costner’s favor, as the actor was told to pay $63,209, a far cry from the $248,000 Baumgartner had initially demanded. However, he still believes that it is his responsibility to take care of the children and provide as much as they need.

We ask that her, Christine and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time.”
Four months after the initial filing, the divorce proceedings were finalized on September 19, with the separated couple reaching a settlement that enforces their prenup. However, they go through legal hurdles related to child and spousal support.
