"He wants revenge, because he asked for a divorce"- Corriere.it

Kevin Costner is reportedly seeking revenge against his wife Christine Baumgartner after she filed for divorce on May 1, citing irreconcilable differences. A friend of hers reported it to the Daily Mail website, who, reporting what would appear to be the woman's convictions, claims that the actor wants to humiliate her. It's not about the house, it's about making Christine's life hell for actually going through with the divorce. According to the prenuptial agreement, the validity of which Baumgartner disputes, if either of them filed for divorce, Baumgartner would have had one month to vacate the $145 million Santa Barbara mansion where she lived with her. Hollywood stars and their children.

Now this deadline has largely expired and so the judge set a new deadline
for next July 31st, accepting the request of Costner's lawyer, the famous divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, and instead rejecting that of the 49-year-old bag designer, who said she was willing to leave on her terms and in any case not before August 31st. Christine said she would not have been at all surprised if Kevin had the police escort her off the property,” the insider continued. She wanted to keep the separation as peaceful as possible for the sake of the children, but Kevin did the exact opposite. He's not thinking about the kids, how traumatizing this is for them. Costner had said he was willing to give his ex-wife $30,000 a month to rent a new house, plus another $10,000 and the use of his staff for the move. But Kevin knows that amount is insufficient. Finding a suitable place to rent in the Padaro Lane area cost a lot more than what he offered Christine. He could have made things easy, he could have offered her an amount that would allow her to continue living in the community, but he decided to punish her.

A new hearing to establish the validity of the prenuptial agreement expected not before November and until then Baumgartner will continue to fight. Meanwhile, at the beginning of the week another judge ruled that Costner will have to pay 129,755 dollars a month (equal to 115,550 euros) for the maintenance of the three children he had from his ex-wife (Cayden, Hayes and Grace, respectively 16, 14 and 13 years old) , which is more than double what he had proposed.
