Kevin Costner is done waiting for his ex to move out on her own. The Yellowstone actor is now trying to force her to leave their Santa Barbara mansion — within the next week!
In a new filing obtained by People on Monday and submitted to the court on June 30, Kevin argued his ex Christine Baumgartner “grasps at straws with one baseless argument after another” while squatting in his home. He believes she should be ordered to leave the multimillion-dollar property before they finalize the split, arguing:
That’s next Thursday — so the clock is really ticking!

This frustrated filing comes after weeks and weeks of arguments over their marital home. Ever since Christine filed for divorce two months ago, the 68-year-old has been demanding the former handbag designer pack her bags and go. It’s a natural request amid such a messy split, but it’s also something they previously agreed upon in a prenuptial agreement they both signed in 2004. Per the contract, they decided she would move out of any home he owned within 30 days of a breakup.
Within the same contract, the Field of Dreams star agreed to fork over $1.2 million on a separate property for his ex-wife to move into after such a breakup, and he reportedly offered to give her a $10k advance toward moving costs and $30k per month for a rental house “as part of his child support obligations.” So she by no means was going to be left high and dry! Yet she refuses to leave, so… what’s up?!
If you ask Christine, she’d say Kevin has “no legal basis” to force her to leave — despite the prenup, mind you. In a previous filing submitted on June 28, Christine put the notion she won’t vacate the home on
Kevin Costner is drawing a line in the sand between himself and his estranged wife, Christine, even deeper.
Kevin Costner filed new divorce documents against Christine Baumgartner to insure "an orderly process" as she vacates their shared beachfront estate outside of Santa Barbara, California. In new documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Costner's legal team filed an ex parte application to "prevent Petitioner (Baumgartner) from removing Respondent’s (Costner) separate property from his home, and to insure an orderly process for the removal of her separate property (if any)." The "Yellowstone" actor argued in the application that "under the PMA (pre-marital agreement) there is no community property." Baumgartner was ordered by a judge last week to vacate the separate residence of their $145 million Carpinteria compound by July 31. "Petitioner’s counsel has stated, in writing, that Petitioner 'plans' to remove many items which are not Petitioner’s separate property," documents stated. "Petitioner refuses to sign a Stipulation that she will not do so unless and until there is a written agreement between the parties." Costner purchased the property before their marriage, and a pre-marital agreement allegedly stipulated that she would not only move out of the home within 30 days, but also no longer live in any of his properties if they divorced. Her team argued that the Santa Barbara housing market made it difficult for her to find a new home adequate to suit the needs of her three children, but Judge Thomas Anderle denied Baumgartner's request to move out of the residence by Aug.

Baumgartner initially requested $248,000 monthly in support or "in the alternative, at the guideline rate of $217,300 per month, payable on the first day of each month." Costner was offering $51,940 per month. Judge Thomas Anderle granted an evidentiary hearing, and pending the hearing, Costner and Baumgartner will each be required to pay 50% of their three children's health care expenses, sports and extracurricular activities.
