Kevin Costner's estranged wife Christine Baumgartner 'has one chance to win' multi-million dollar divorce battle against 'Yellowstone' actor, legal expert says.

was being disingenuous with his claim of"doing the most [he] can reasonably do to make a divorce as seamless as possible for our children" as his actions showed"precisely the opposite" when he"sought to evict his wife and children from their home, and he now offers to pay child support of $51,940 per month.

"I would think that she will continue to seek the amount of support she feels is necessary to support herself and the kids, particularly now that she has to move out of the marital house, per the prenuptial agreement."Kevin Costner cut off estranged wife Christine from accessing joint credit cards. "His proposed support is less than the monthly rent he received for one of his guest houses, and less than the $68,000 per month he committed to paying in his declaration filed on June 8, 2023 in connection with his request for a preliminary injunction," she argued."Kevin’s I&E states that his own monthly expenses, which includes the children when they are with him, are $240,000 per month.

"Kevin asserts that he should not have to pay fees and costs for Christine to challenge the validity of the PMA [premarital agreement]," her lawyers argued."He also regularly claims that the PMA is valid and that there is no evidence to the contrary. This is the legal equivalent of whistling past the graveyard."
