Kevin Costner’s estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, is asking for some big bucks on behalf of the couple’s three children.has obtained legal documents indicating that she’s seeking a whopping $248,000 a month in child support, with those court filings listing that sum as the “total for all three children.”
In the filing, Baumgartner claims that the amount requested “is less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle” and is requesting that Costner also foot the bill entirely for the cost of private-school tuition, extracurricular activities/sports and healthcare expenses for the three children, who range in age from 13 to 16.
A request for spousal support, however, was not included in the request for order, which was filed Friday, June 16 in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara.
