Kevin Costner<\/strong> ain\u2019t payin\u2019 all that!<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve been keeping up with the Yellowstone<\/em> actor\u2019s divorce news, you\u2019ll know his soon-to-be ex-wife Christine Baumgartner<\/strong> has been gunning for a pretty penny from her estranged hubby — to say the LEAST. She already lost her bid for ENORMOUS child support payments, but it now seems like she\u2019s trying to supplement that fee elsewhere — in expert witness and attorney\u2019s fees!<\/p>\n According to multiple outlets, Christine wants Kevin to pay a \u201cwhopping\u201d $885,000 toward her legal fees\u2026 In addition to what he\u2019s already forked out. But his attorney ain\u2019t buyin\u2019 it.<\/p>\n On Monday, the Man of Steel<\/em> star\u2019s lawyer Parima Pandkhou<\/strong>\u00a0filed a response to the request in the Superior Court of California, calling it \u201cunreasonable\u201d and \u201cnothing short of ridiculous.\u201d She argued:<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the numbers are so large, it is easy to lose perspective of the actual value of these numbers. To demonstrate the practical value of Christine’s requested award: $885,000 pays for 1,106 hours of attorney time at a rate of $800\/hour.\u201d<\/p>\n Oop! When you break it down like that, that does sound pretty wild\u2026<\/p>\n In response to Christine\u2019s argument that Kevin has spent more on legal fees, so she should be awarded more, Parima added that that is entirely because of her own choices:<\/p>\n \u201cThe amount Kevin has incurred cannot be the talisman of how much Christine should be awarded in fees. That is because Kevin has been forced to spend substantial attorney’s fees as a result of Christine’s uncooperative conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n Damn! It seems like Christine is floundering\u2026 especially after being ordered to pay some of Kevin\u2019s<\/em> legal fees! And yet again, this all seems to be a question of fairness for. her — and she defines that as\u00a0she deserves to be just as rich as he is<\/em>.
