The terms of Kevin Costner’s child support order for his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, are in. According to Fox News, a judge has ruled that Costner must shell out $129,755 a month in child support for Baumgartner. But Baumgartner didn’t exactly secure the bag. While this sum is twice as much as what Costner wanted, the mom-of-three originally asked for $248,000 a month. She also wanted Costner to bear the expense of all of their kids’ medical bills and leisure activities, according to Page Six. However, as it stands, she’ll now be forced to contribute to half of their expenses, though Costner does have to pay $300,000 in legal fees, per Fox News.

This is the second L that Baumgartner has taken in regard to their divorce. Though Baumgartner fought hard to remain in their home, which is worth $145 million, a judge recently ruled that she has to be out by July 31, according to TMZ. Plus, because Baumgartner is attempting to have their original prenup thrown out, if a judge sides with Costner regarding its legality, she may be forced to refund a previous $1.5 million payout from him. If you care to do the math, that amounts to about one year of Costner’s child support payments.
