Kevin Costner’s estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, is taking another break to play on the beach with her son in Hawaii amid their divorce battle.

As for the bulk of the change in child support she will get from the “Yellowstone” star, the svelte blonde beauty is reportedly “relieved” about the court’s decision. The same sentiment cannot be said about his ex, who will part with the money. Your mind; The divorce proceedings have taken several turns for Costner, according to The Blast.
The multi-talented star initially won an appeal for his estranged wife to move out of their matrimonial home after she filed for divorce — per a clause in their prenuptial agreement. However, on Tuesday, July 11, she was approved to start receiving lump sum payments in monthly child support.
The German-American designer had originally asked for a monthly payment of $248,000 or “alternatively, at the guideline rate of $217,300, paid on the first day of each month. He also asked the “Dances with Wolves” star to cover 100% of the child’s health care, sports, extracurricular activities and private school tuition expenses.
Kevin Costner disputed all of these claims, and in his rebuttal, he declared that his ex’s $248,000 child support request included over $100,000 for her cosmetic surgery fees. The paper also highlighted the large sums spent on luxury shopping, attorney fees, hefty credit card bills and other costs unrelated to child support.

Ultimately, Judge Thomas Anderle made a short-term mandate that the “Let Him Go” actor pay Baumgartner $129,755 a month in child support. The Golden Globe Award winner will also have to pay $100,000 in forensic costs and $200,000 in attorney fees.
Additionally, the former couple, who both filed for joint custody of their three children, must pay 50% of their health care, sports and extracurricular activities expenses. According to court documents reviewed by Fox News, these payments will be made on the “first day of each month” with “a credit for amounts paid between July 1 and July 12.”
Costner Vacations With His Kids In Canada Following Child Support Ruling
Shortly after the child support decision was announced, the “Waterworld” star took some quality time with Baumgartner’s three children, Grace, Hayes and Cayden — she has seven children.
A “pre-planned” holiday with his daughter and two sons prevented the doting father from attending court on Wednesday, July 12. His absence was because the Oscar-winning actor had scheduled a trip to British Columbia, Canada, with the teenager months before the adjourned court date.
Regarding the former couple’s joint custody arrangement and why the children spend time with their famous father unsupervised, the former’s legal team stated in the paper:
“The child is still a teenager and will probably come and go between her home and Christine’s home once she finds a new home.”
