In a recent legal victory, acclaimed actor Kevin Costner found relief as the Santa Barbara
00:06
County Court ruled in his favor regarding child support payments to his estranged wife
00:11
Christine Baumgartner.
00:14
The court's decision has substantially reduced Costner's financial obligations.
00:21
Until now, Costner had been paying a temporary amount of $1,29,000 per month in child support,
00:28
which was contested by Christine, who sought an increase to $2,48,000 per month.
00:35
However, last week, Christine returned to court with a request to raise the monthly
00:39
figure to $1,61,000.
00:43
Christine's arguments centered around providing their children, 16-year-old Seiden, 14-year-old
00:48
Hais, and 13-year-old Grace, with a comparable lifestyle to the one they enjoyed when she
00:55
and Costner were still a couple.
00:57
The couple had been married for 18 years before Christine filed for divorce in May, citing
01:02
irreconcilable differences.
01:06
The recent court ruling has brought considerable relief to Costner, as his monthly child support
01:11
payments have been significantly reduced to $63,209 per month, nearly half of the previously
01:20
contested amount.
01:22
The decision appears to consider both the needs of the children and Costner's financial
01:27
situation.
01:29
The legal battle over child support has been closely watched by the public, given Kevin
01:34
Costner's status as a Hollywood icon and his substantial net worth.
01:39
This ruling marks a significant development in the ongoing divorce proceedings between
01:44
Costner and Baumgartner.
