Kevin was ordered to temporarily pay $129,755 per month in child support until future court dates. The ruling is retroactive, which means that child support will have to be paid forward or back dating back to July 1 if changes are made in the final ruling of the case.
Costner and Baumgartner share sons Hayes, 14, and Cayden, 16, as well as daughter Grace. Costner is also dad to three adult children — Annie, 39, Lily, 36, and Joe, 35 — with his ex-wife Cindy Silva, as well as son Liam, 26, with former partner Bridget Rooney.
This isn’t the first summer trip for the Costner kids. TheYellowstoneactor, 68,took his three teenagers to British Columbia earlier this month, causing him to be out of town for a July 12 court date.
Although Costner and Baumgartner’s child support battle has been contentious, as far as shared custody between Costner and his estranged wife, the actor’s team assured that, “The children are teenagers and may come and go between his home and Christine’s home once she finds a new residence.”

On May 1, 2023, Baumgartnerfiled for divorcefrom theDances with Wolvesstar after 18 years of marriage.
The next month, it was revealed thatBaumgartner requested$248,000 per month in child support for all three children. In the filing, she alleged that the amount “is less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle.”
However, based on state guidelines and the actor’s cash flow, Costner’s team suggested that$123, 620 be availablefor monthly child support.
“Providing the minor children with more than bare necessities does not require providing ludicrous extravagance designed to primarily benefit the supported parent,” the actor’s team said in a response to Baumgartner’s filing.
