One of the first and funniest stories about Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner\u2019s divorce was the report about Christine charging a forensic accountant to Costner\u2019s credit card just weeks before she filed for divorce. While the divorce battle has not been going in Christine\u2019s favor for weeks now, she was so real for that one thing. It was badass. So, Christine has a good idea of Costner\u2019s financials, but there\u2019s one thing on which she needs some clarity: Costner\u2019s next planned project, Horizon<\/em>. Costner essentially mortgaged their Carpinteria home to finance Horizon<\/em>, and Christine and her lawyers want a lot more information about that. Costner doesn\u2019t want Christine or her lawyers to know anything about it.<\/p>\n Kevin Costner\u2019s estranged wife Christine claims the Yellowstone actor is \u201cwithholding\u201d evidence of his finances as their divorce battle drags on. In a request for order filed in California Superior Court Aug. 21 and obtained by PEOPLE, an attorney for Christine, 49, has asked the court to compel Kevin, 68, to produce documents related to his business dealings. <\/p>\n The lawyer claims the two-time Oscar winner \u2014 who shares children Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13, with Christine \u2014 has been \u201cstonewalling\u201d by not sharing the information ahead of their scheduled child support hearing next week and the November trial to determine the validity of their premarital agreement. Christine \u2014 who is entitled to a $1.5 million payout under the terms of the agreement, which she previously claimed she felt \u201cpressured\u201d to sign \u2014 was also temporarily awarded $129,755 per month in child support last month.<\/p>\n \u201c[Kevin] has requested a multi-day evidentiary hearing on [Christine\u2019s] request for child support, at which time the Court will receive evidence regarding [Kevin\u2019s] gross cash flow available for support and anticipated future income. [Kevin] has also requested a trial to determine the validity of the parties’ Premarital Agreement, the unconscionability of which will depend on an analysis of how the terms of that agreement compare to the parties’ present financial realities,\u201d Christine\u2019s lawyer wrote in the request for order.\u201cThe Court will need to receive evidence regarding those circumstances to make its determination. However, [Christine] will be unable to present any evidence that [Kevin] has chosen to withhold from discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n Christine had initially asked for $248,000 per month in child support. Kevin, whose 2022 income was around $20 million according to court documents, strongly objected in a June 30 filing. He said he could not afford that amount because he expects to earn \u201csubstantially less\u201d in 2023 now that he is no longer under contract for Yellowstone, which he said was the principal source of his income.<\/p>\n Noting Kevin\u2019s statement in their new filing, Christine\u2019s lawyers have said they are also seeking information related to his upcoming film series Horizon “as such documents evidence his future endeavors and anticipated income.\u201d Kevin, they claim, is \u201cwithholding\u201d those documents.<\/p>\n As an exhibit included in the request for order, Christine\u2019s attorneys included Kevin\u2019s response to their Request for the Production of Documents, dated June 30, in which he objected to providing the information.<\/p>\n \u201cThis Request seeks documents that are not relevant given the parties entered into a Premarital Agreement containing a limitation on spousal support and providing that all income earned during marriage would be the separate property of the spouse earning the income and providing for no community property,\u201d an attorney for Kevin wrote.<\/p>\n Kevin\u2019s lawyer called several specific requests for information \u2014 including those related to his businesses \u2014 \u201cburdensome, oppressive and harassing.\u201d In the request for order, Christine\u2019s lawyer called those responses in the June 30 \u201cdeficient,\u201d and sought to obtain more information. According to the request for order and attached exhibits, Kevin did provide further financial information over the following weeks but has resisted providing information related to Horizon.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From People]<\/p>\n It\u2019s interesting, I guess. The lawyers will hopefully figure it out. I mean, I understand Costner\u2019s argument that in the coming years, he won\u2019t have Yellowstone money coming in and that will be a factor in how they calculate child support. But it\u2019s worth noting that Christine filed for divorce right after Costner put up his biggest asset (the Carpinteria mansion) as collateral for Horizon, and Christine is well within her rights to want more information about that. It does affect her and their children, because what if Horizon bombs? What if Costner goes through another Waterworld-esue lull in his career and the bank forecloses on the mansion?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Avalon Red.<\/small><\/p>\n\n
