Kevin Costner’s estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, is asking for an exorbitant amount of money for child support.
According to court documents obtained by People, the 49-year-old designer wants the 68-year-old “Yellowstone” star to pay him $248,000 a month to help raise her three children: Cayden Wyatt, 16, Hayes Logan, 14, and Grace Avery, Wednesday the 13th.
Baumgartner reportedly claims that the total amount demanded is “less than what is needed to keep children in their habitual lifestyles.”
He also wants Costner to pay in full for his children’s private school education, extracurricular activities, sports and health expenses, according to the report.
As a result of Baumgartner’s filing on Friday, the recent income records of her estranged husband have been released.
According to People, Costner earned more than $19 million in 2022, costing his family of caterers and chefs $6,645,285 for entertainment and trips to the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Aspen. His net income is reported to be $7,595,520 after taxes.
The “Field of Dreams” star had previously argued in court documents obtained by Page Six that she did not want her financial information to be made public for fear of “irreparable harm” by scammers, thieves and “unwanted and embarrassing” individuals. global media attention.”
Costner’s attorney did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on Baumgartner’s child support claim.
The “Bodyguard” star is in a legal battle with his wife, whom he hasn’t seen since he filed for divorce in May after 18 years of marriage.

Costner accused Baumgartner of spending $95,000 of his money on lawyers and a forensic accountant “without notice” to him during the trial.
She also reportedly called the mother of three for refusing to move out of their $145 million joint home in Carpinteria, California, even though the couple had a prenuptial agreement.
The contract states that Baumgartner will have 30 days to vacate the building and will be given a $1.2 million property to live elsewhere following the split.
However, the handbag designer reportedly argued that Costner had “no legal basis” to fire her, and took advantage of the children by stating, through her lawyer, that the mansion was “where children lived their entire lives.”
The one spot where the exes seem to have found neutral ground is child custody, which Baumgartner has claimed as “joint”. He also does not seek spousal support.
