Kevin Costner’s estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, wants their three children to continue living lavishly despite their divorce.
The handbag designer has asked a court to order the “Yellowstone” star to pay her nearly $200,000 in monthly child support so their children can maintain the same standard of living when they’re in her care.
“The Court is required to set child support at a level that, when the children are with Christine, they live a lifestyle relatively comparable to the one they enjoy when they are with their father,” Baumgartner’s legal team wrote in a brief filed ahead of their Aug. 31 hearing, per Us Weekly.
“The Court order must allow the children to be supported at a level commensurate with Kevin’s considerable wealth, even if that level of support also improves the standard of living of Christine.”
Baumgartner’s legal team said her children — Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13 — should live in a “comparable house” to Costner’s when they are in their mom’s custody.
Additionally, the mom of three’s attorneys wrote that the children should be able to go on “comparable vacations” when they’re with her, which includes flying private.
“Because the children fly on private aircraft to go on luxury vacations when they are with their father, the Family Code dictates that Kevin should pay sufficient child support to Christine so that the children can go on comparable vacations when they are with her,” her lawyers stated in the brief.
“In this case, the guideline child support requested by Christine of $175,057 per month will not be sufficient to replicate Kevin’s lifestyle, but it will be sufficient to allow her to provide a lifestyle for the children which is relatively comparable.”
