The terms of Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner‘s divorce is still going on as she just reacted to his monthly child support offer for their three children.
Just a week ago, the Yellowstone star had filed new court documents in response to Christine‘s staggering request of almost $250,000 a month to support their kids.
After first offering just $38,000 for child support, he argued that the amount of child support should not go higher than $123,620.
Now, Kevin has proposed a different number – $51,940 – which is an amount she still says is not enough.

According to new documents that were filed just days ago, Christine clapped back at Kevin who implied that he is “doing the most [he] can reasonably do to make a divorce as seamless as possible for our children”, and she also added that his offer is “completely inappropriate.”
She then argued and share receipt of her claims over the amount.
Apparently, one of the guest houses on their beach home rents for $68,000, and Christine also claimed that Kevin has his own monthly expenses when the children are with him as $240,000.
“He apparently expects his children to live far below his economic circumstances when they are with their mother,” the paperwork reads. “While he resides in his $100,000,000+ beachside compound and spends at least $240,000 per month on himself (with the children with him about 40 percent of the time), he thinks that his wife and their children should live on only 20 percent of that amount.”
Christine also adds that the biggest element of the child support is finding a home where their kids can be close to Kevin, as well as their school.
“They are entitled to have one home that is somewhat comparable to one of the three multi-million-dollar residences which make up the Beach Club Compound,” the documents went on. “I cannot provide housing and care for the children at anything close to their accustomed lifestyle with the $51,000/mo. Kevin proposes to pay in child support.”
She notes that it’s not just the housing the money would cover, but also utilities, a security system, furniture, and more.
Christine is also asking Kevin to cover all of the costs pertaining to their kids’ healthcare, private schooling and extracurricular activities, plus attorney’s fees.
The couple are ending their marriage after 18 years together, and just recently, a judge ruled in the decision about when Christine should be out of their family home.
