Kevin Costner’s estranged wife agrees her lifestyle is “extraordinary,” and she isn’t about to give up on that so quickly. Let the court docs reflect that.
Christine Costner Has it Good
Christine is ensuring that Kevin continues to allow her and the kids to live in luxury, and her 8-page declaration reflects just that. So far, Christine has chosen to sit pretty in the $145 million compound she and her kids have lived in for over a decade.
In her declaration, she makes it clear she isn’t leaving until she gets what she wants and needs from the dissolution of this marriage. “I realize that our lifestyle is extraordinary,” she states. She is hoping the declaration will help to make the prenup invalid.
Another primary reason she is fighting the ironclad prenup is that it states that in addition to not receiving spousal support. She will only get $38,000 in child support from the actor, worth millions.
Christine Costner Can’t Afford To Relocate
The declaration continues to call out the struggle she will be in if she allows this prenup to be used. “If I were to recreate our lifestyle today, the costs would be much higher given the increase in the real estate market.”
She wants a Santa Barbara County judge to increase child support to nearly $250k monthly. She also stressed that she is a full-time mom and housewife, noting that she cooks and cleans for three teenagers, 13, 14, and 16.
She drives them around to all of their extracurricular activities and school. But admits she has extra help.
“Our children’s lifestyle has been supported by a house manager who supports and assists with the logistics of the children’s activities, b. A person who assists with grocery shopping and meal preparation; and c. A housekeeper who assists with cleaning and laundry.”
Christine Costner Is Fighting For Her Kids
The soon-to-be single mom is doing this to secure her kid’s future. “My primary goal is to make sure that our children continue to thrive and, when they are with me, to live in a home and lifestyle at least somewhat comparable to that of their father.”
On the other hand, Kevin sees it as a tactic she is playing and attempting to his home like a carrot dangling in his face. She admits that her income is null and will need Kevin’s assistance even though she is the one who called it quits on the 18-year marriage.
“Kevin is trying to force my concession that the spousal support limitation is valid by my “acceptance” of these funds,” Christine claims in the docs. “Kevin’s goal is to get me to tap into this money, so he can argue that I’ve waived my right to challenge the Premarital Agreement.”
Christine Costner Feels Robbed
The handbag designer also shared that she was duped into marrying the actor only to find out it wasn’t what he led her to be. She described him as “handsome” and “charming.”
She claims, “Kevin worked throughout our marriage, often traveling for various on-location projects and events. He has been very successful and has had a rigorous travel schedule. He’s often on location for approximately four months throughout the year.”
She was sick of being lonely and was ready to move on with the help of Kevin’s money, of course!
