Christine Baumgartner’s arguments that Kevin Costner was trying to unfairly kick her out of their house have unfortunately been rejected by the judge, saying her points are “without merit.”
Costner’s wife argued that she would move in due course, she can only do that with careful planning, but the judge didn’t budge. Her divorce from husband Kevin Costner has become even more bitter as the judge is inclined to rule their prenup is valid.
TMZ reported that the judge enforced a provision of the prenup which that says in the event a divorce petition is filed, Christine has a certain number of days to vacate the family home on the 31st of July.
Baumgartner’s lawyers made the argument that the date is not fair because she doesn’t have enough time or money to find an adequate place to live, so they asked for an extension to August 15. But Kevin’s attorney, Laura Wasser took the position of a deal is a deal, and it’s right there in the prenup, and the judge agreed.
The bigger issue to the judge’s ruling however, is the hearing on the validity of the prenup is set for November, and given the acrimony in this case, Christine and her lawyers are expected to wage legal war to have the prenup declared invalid.
The ruling is squarely predicated on language in the prenup, so it seems the judge is inclined, perhaps more than inclined to enforce the prenup, and that would be a huge win for Kevin.
For Christine though, the implications are financially dire for, because if the judge rules the prenup is valid, she has to give back the $1.5 million Kevin gave her. She’ll also have to cover Kevin’s attorney’s fees incurred for defending the prenup.
