The exes went back and forth in a legal battle over their finances. Christine initially requested almost $250,000 per month in child support from Kevin, but a judge determined that he would be responsible for paying more than $63,000 per month, which was less than half of what she wanted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">Over the summer of 2023, the pair argued over spousal support payments and their prenuptial agreement. Not only that, but they even fought over who would keep household items, including silverware. Christine was also ordered to leave the compound that she shared with Kevin, and he reportedly decreased her credit card limit.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">By September 2023, they settled their divorce and finalized it earlier this year in February.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">Despite the brutal legal battle, Kevin <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2024\/06\/19\/kevin-costner-jewel-dating-rumors-family-new-normal-after-divorce\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">recently called Christine<\/a> a \u201cgood partner [and a] good mother\u201d during a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/kevin-costner-weathering-difficult-divorce-about-children-exclusive-8664192\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><em>PEOPLE<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">\u201c[We] just weren\u2019t able to go the distance,\u201d he said about his past marriage in the interview that was published on June 19. \u201cWhat I can say is I\u2019ve had an amazing life.
