Kevin Costner files new divorce order to prevent estranged wife from removing items from $145 million estate

'Yellowstone' actor Kevin Costner was recently ordered to pay Christine Baumgartner $129,755 in child support

Kevin Costner filed new divorce documents against Christine Baumgartner to insure "an orderly process" as she vacates their shared beachfront estate outside of Santa Barbara, California.

In new documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Costner's legal team filed an ex parte application to "prevent Petitioner (Baumgartner) from removing Respondent’s (Costner) separate property from his home, and to insure an orderly process for the removal of her separate property (if any)."

The "Yellowstone" actor argued in the application that "under the PMA (pre-marital agreement) there is no community property."

Baumgartner was ordered by a judge last week to vacate the separate residence of their $145 million Carpinteria compound by July 31.

"Petitioner’s counsel has stated, in writing, that Petitioner 'plans' to remove many items which are not Petitioner’s separate property," documents stated. 

"Petitioner refuses to sign a Stipulation that she will not do so unless and until there is a written agreement between the parties."

Costner purchased the property before their marriage, and a pre-marital agreement allegedly stipulated that she would not only move out of the home within 30 days, but also no longer live in any of his properties if they divorced. 

Her team argued that the Santa Barbara housing market made it difficult for her to find a new home adequate to suit the needs of her three children, but Judge Thomas Anderle denied Baumgartner's request to move out of the residence by Aug. 15.

Her legal team filed an objection to the ex parte application, and requested the court to "deny Kevin's application outright and allow the parties to work out the personal property issues themselves, as is customary in divorce cases and appropriate given the level of wealth involved in this case. Any disputes can be resolved at the time of trial."

Judge Anderle ruled that Baumgartner will receive $129,755 per month in child support. Costner will be required to pay $200,000 in attorney's fees and $100,000 in forensic costs.
