<\/p>\nThe actor Kevin Costner may have prevailed in his protracted legal battle with his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner over child support, but he isn’t relishing the victory.<\/p>\n
Since Baumgartner filed for divorce in May, citing irreconcilable differences, their back-and-forth argument has been a regular in the media.<\/p>\n
Baumgartner sought to obtain hundreds of thousands of dollars in monthly child support payments after moving out of the family <\/p>\n
home in accordance with the terms of a prenuptial agreement, even though Costner was willing to give her much less.<\/p>\n
According to reports, Baumgartner demanded her famous husband pay her $161,000 in child support. The 68-year-old Costner, <\/p>\n
who is rumored to be worth $400 million, thought that $63,000 per month was a reasonable amount to provide for his children.<\/p>\n
A judge has now decided that Baumgartner will be entitled to less than half of that moving ahead, backing with <\/p>\n
Costner’s requested $63,000 per month, after first ordering the actor to pay an eye-watering $129,000 per month.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After a two-day court session in which Costner and his wife both presented their cases regarding the obligation to pay child support, the announcement was made.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that Costner ultimately got his way, the well-known actor took the time to talk to the media <\/p>\n
during a lunch break at the courthouse in Santa Barbara, California, and admitted that he “feels so bad\u2019.<\/p>\n
Costner added, \u2018This is a terrible place to be, but this is where we are. \u2018It hurts so much. We’re discussing a person on the other side that I love. I simply can’t.<\/p>\n
Then, in response to a question from a reporter about if he \u2018still has love\u2019 for Baumgartner, Costner said, \u2018Of course.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In a separate interview with Fox News Digital, the Waterworld actor described the agony of having to deal with a contentious legal dispute immediately after his wife filed for divorce.<\/p>\n
\u2018You know, there is no winner when you share a life with someone for that long… Costner admitted, \u2018and it’s this vast, chaotic thing called life and how everything falls apart so rapidly.<\/p>\n
\u2018You feel on top of the world for a moment, and then you realize how, you know, vulnerable you are.\u2019 Fans were moved by Costner’s statements, and many of them identified with his predicament.<\/p>\n
Well, it’s about time she teaches her children to be grateful for their already affluent life and that nothing comes <\/p>\n
for free, one user commented on Twitter. Seriously, only her luxury is being denied to Kevin’s other children. Kevin’s team.<\/p>\n
\u2018I raised two kids with no child support,\u2019 said another. Allow me to assist Ms. Baumgertner. You attend a college. <\/p>\n
You leave for work every morning after waking up. You make a food plan and use a list to shop. You establish a budget. And you regularly use the word \u2018no.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018IDK why, but I’m weirdly ecstatic for his win,\u2019 said a third. Such a self-centered, lazy woman. Instead than <\/p>\n
depending on someone else to provide for you, get a job and teach your kids how to be self-sufficient. \u2018TEAM KEVIN!\u2019<\/p>\n
A fourth person who spoke about Baumgartner stated, \u2018Imagine crying in court because you don’t know how to live off $720k a year for not working.\u2019<\/p>\n
According to sources, a subsequent hearing is scheduled for November.<\/p>\n

I feel so bad for Christine Baumgartner and Kevin Costner. Divorces are never simple processes to go through, <\/p>\n
