<\/p>\nThe court assigned to their case recently made a decision that Kevin Costner’s monthly child support payments won’t be <\/p>\n
increased in the divorce case between the 68-year-old actor and 49-year-old Christine Baumgartner. Thomas Anderle, the judge, made a decision following two days of testimony.<\/p>\n
Due to the court’s decision in the singer’s favor, the revised and final monthly child support <\/p>\n
payment is now $63,209. Baumgartner has already asked for a total of $161,592 plus an additional $31,837.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 49-year-old’s initial request had already been met with an interim payment of $129,755. Regarding <\/p>\n
the judge’s ruling in his favor in the custody dispute and the prospective co-parenting arrangement, Kevin stated:<\/p>\n
\u2018You know, there’s no winner when you’ve been with someone for that long… She makes a great mother. When we figure it out, we’ll let you know.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The issue of child support has been handled, but the former couple must still go in court to establish who will be responsible <\/p>\n
for paying their legal costs as well as other accumulated debts. Baumgartner’s friend, who also expressed <\/p>\n
disappointment and disbelief, said that Baumgartner and Kevin’s disagreement is still very much ongoing.<\/p>\n

In a prior court case, Baumgartner argued that the house she is currently renting, which costs $40,000 a month, is unfit for her family. <\/p>\n
She also complained about the lack of guest rooms in her house and the fact that her two boys, Hayes <\/p>\n
and Cayden Costner, would have to share a bathroom. Her daughter Grace Costner was also recorded as saying:<\/p>\n
must share a restroom with the other members of the household.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
She was asked if she intended to work to fund her lifestyle during the cross-examination. The mother of three said that she had just lately started to think about it, but added:<\/p>\n
I’ll research the next steps I need to take and any schooling I need to complete before I start working.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Baumgartner’s close friend said that Kevin thinks Baumgartner doesn’t want to work and would prefer a free ride. Additionally, the friend said:<\/p>\n
He appears to have overlooked the fact that she already works a full-time job taking care of their three kids.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Despite having four bedrooms, a jacuzzi, and a sizable pool, Baumgartner feels that her house is inadequate. <\/p>\n
In addition, the \u2018Waterworld\u2019 actor does not object to caring for his children, despite her friend’s <\/p>\n
opinion that being an actress pales in comparison to being a full-time mom of three children.<\/p>\n
Despite acknowledging that he had many court proceedings and other things on his plate, Kevin said he wished <\/p>\n
he could spend more time with his kids. He was recently spotted taking his 14-year-old son, Hayes, out for breakfast in Santa Barbara.<\/p>\n
