Kevin Costner’s ex Christine Baumgartner has spoken out and complained about the slashed child support and her financial lookout.
The 49-year-old has revealed plans to “enter the workforce” and return to work amid a bitter divorce from the Yellowstone star while taking time to slam the child support payments which were slashed from $129,000 to $63,000 a month by Judge Thomas Anderle.
While the judge insisted the temporary payments made by Costner to his ex were excessive and unreasonable, Baumgartner, who demanded $248,000 a month from the state, allegedly dismissed the ruling as a complete joke.
“Christine is shocked. She said even Kevin looked shocked. Everyone looked shocked,” a source told DailyMail.com.
“To say Christine is disappointed is an understatement. She described the ruling is a complete joke.”
The insider who is said to be close to the mother-of-three added: “Christine said they (Kevin and his lawyers) painted the picture of this shallow, greedy gold-digger and that if Kevin could get past his anger and revenge, he would see how this is hurting their kids.
“She said Kevin is ripping her apart from her community by making it impossible to live in the tight-knit neighborhood. Christine said this was never about beach views and Kevin knows this. He knows how much the community means to Christine, and that this is his way of punishing her.”
Meanwhile, it was revealed that Baumgartner complained about her new $40,000-a-month rental home saying it wasn’t good enough for her family because her kids needed beach access.
She is also said to have told her ex to pay for her legal fees amounting to $575,000 from his own pocket while requesting an additional $280,000 to cover alleged costs of ‘experts.’

She’s nuts
Get a job and live within reasonable world and not on his hard work
Agree!
He needs to take her to the train station, just kidding.
But to not be able to live on that amount is ridiculous
I could live on what she’s getting a month for a period of a few years! She’s a golddigger! She should reevaluate her living arrangements and expenses. Go back to work!
This is what happens when rich people live like there bank accounts instead of teaching their children to live humble and do things that are normal everyday things they teach their kids to live high class lifes giving them a false sense of class and the ideal of being better than everyone else
My personal opinion is he should buy het a 200,00.00 home at the most expensive and then she should bring herself down to reality get a damn job and support herself as far as the kids looks like public school and playing in the backyard not the damn country club she is a gold digger with a false ideal that someone ows her something she is not the forst women to get divorced and have kuds to raise why does she think he should support her
Her living standard should be brought into rough alignment with her ex’s and should retain a similar standard to how she was living prior to the split. Anything less damages the children who are entitled to live near the standard of their highest-earning parent, and risks alienating the kids from their mother when the kids notice the difference in living standards.
She signed a prenuptial agreement, she should only be entitled to whatever the prenup states. The kids are a different story. Kevin has been providing for them and has a ruling from the court as to how much he pays for child support. He is also paying for their schooling, uniforms, supplies and any extracurricular activities. I think she got wind of how much Kevin paid his1st wife during their divorce, and she figured I want some if that.
Her kids need beach access? Oh Please!
If she needed all that she should have stayed married!!
Gold digger?? Would take a bloody gold mine to keep her and a big one at that!!
She wanted the divorce ,did she think she would continue to live the life style he provided for them ?. NO .
He’s paying child support for his children he shouldn’t have to continue to support her.
She has a fashionable line of hand bags ,it’s time to get back to designing .
Get on with her life .
She wants to stay where the money’s at to find her next paycheck. To think it takes that much money to live is ridiculous some of us don’t make that kind of money a year let alone a month . I’m really disappointed in her .
There is such a thing as been an independent person woman or man. Does she want to teach her daughters to live off man’s income without contributing and teach her sons that this is normal life and they have to earn more and more? This is pure stupidity and not a good role model for her family. Let him pay the child support is asked for only for the children to live. They don’t don’t need to live next door to beach they can walk/ bus/ Train etc to get to the beach for day out. She has rude awakening that any potential new partner will see this and avoid
Back in the early 70’s I was given $58 a month for 3 kids! Try and buy any home on that! You had a working husband and nice home that worked his butt off for you and you still want more?? Grow up lady, he owes you nothing!!!
Kevin should cut his work schedule in half and devote that time to his kids. He has beach access. He’s entitled to 50/50 custody. And he’s 68 years old. Retire. Produce some stupid little TV dramas right in Santa Barbara as a side hack and enjoy life with the kiddos. She’s horrid.
I want to see her and her kids on a commercial flight. He’ll, they can have first class. But they’ve always flown private. They won’t know what to do. Poor woman and children having to be subject to a commercial flight? And not living steps from the beach. Get over yourself lady.
Go to work like the rest of the world live you golddigger !
Your children need beach access ! Give me a break !
She’s a money hungry woman.
She wants…don’t we all.. was there a pre-nup? She’s trying to suck him dry!!!
Her reasoning for filing was he was never home… well if he’s working your not.? He’s supporting his family you should know where he ,is you do you were still being provided for…
Let me tell you something I live on $907 month that’s my SS.. it doesn’t go far.. I pay the important bills … hopefully I’ll have a cushion till the following month when I get my check DD…
You dint know what you have until you lose it… maybe just maybe you need to lose everything and live on the streets which I’ve done…… it’s a different world than what you’re living.. you’re acting like a spoiled fucking brat… be humble, the person when you met…. That’s who fell in love with !!
Why do your kids need the beach? You were living in Montana?!?! So where’s the beach there?????????
Because the more. I read about this you’re showing your UGLY side … we all have one…
Where did you come from middle to upper class?? How’s your pocket book business doing? You don’t sell them for a reasonable price… your pricing is above and beyond what it should be….. I. Was a handbag snob one time in my life……
You’re looking at the world through rose colored glasses..
either you accept what’s on the and be done with it.. would show that your a better person than what you’re portraying of yourself now……
