It’s sounds decent to the large majority.

There is a slim faction of people who think divorce is like the lottery and you win a big sum of money through divorce and that is a disordered way of thinking.

NP, after 18 years of marriage, he is behaving like a vindictive and immature jerk!

How is he being vindictive and immature? They signed a contract that laid out the terms if the marriage ended. The wife filed for divorce so the contract now goes into effect.

The contract was signed many decades - and a bunch of kids - ago. A lifetime ago, basically. It seems petty, mean, and weird for him to be stingy like this - and yes, it looks very stingy - toward the mother of his children, who spent decades with him. Who shared a life with him!

You seem to believe your position is very popular but I don't actually see anyone else on this thread sharing it, which maybe says it's not so popular. No she doesn't have to come out with $200 million - but $1 million? Our house is worth almost that and we live in a ranch that needs work, on a busy street, in a mid-tier city.

It just seems mean, small, and petty. Regardless of the prenup - which I am guessing will be adjusted by the court, if they don't settle - she should at least be able to buy a decent house where she and the kids can live. And to maintain the house. You know, to live a life that is fairly comparable to the one she had when she was married to this cheater for a few decades.

I’m not the PP and you must be reading and entirely different thread than I am. I see plenty of posts that don’t see an issue with him.

Your posts are voluminous and distinctive, though. But no matter how often you spam this thread, you can’t make everyone believe your fantasy world.

You're thinking of someone else. I've only posted three times on this thread. Four, counting this time.

DP I see both but I think the disapproves have the edge. I think how you look at this depends on whether or not you have an ex you hate. In my case it comes from having parents who hate each other and had a horrendous divorce. Neither is acting particularly well IMO but fair or not he has the ability to end it and he's not. And his kids will suffer as a result.

.

I do not have any ex and have been in a long term happy marriage and he seems more reasonable here than she does to me. The kids are suffering because of her, not him. And it’s not realistic or actually good parenting to award manipulative behavior like she seems to want him to.

Yes, it is totally rational that Kevin Costner’s PR people are spending their time on a DC-based mommy message board. Of course that is a perfectly rational thought and not totally insane. 🙄

+1 Agree with this and I am a SAHM with three kids.

Signed,
SAHM who hasn’t worked in 16 years (with no prenup thankfully)

I don’t think the full prenup has been released. She’s challenging what she’s eligible for which may be based on specific terms.

He's claiming he owes her $1.3 or $1.4M plus the child support and monthly amount towards a rental home. I haven't read anything that says how long the rental allowance will go. Until the youngest child turns 18? Then what? Having 20 years of marriage and no meaningful assets to show for it is pretty terrible. Something in the prenup should have been tied to the length of the marriage, and which person initiated the divorce. Seems to me like she played her cards all wrong here - will be interesting to see what happens.

She could have amassed her own assets and she will have rights to any of the assets that she contributed to amassing during the marriage. They had a nanny and multiple household staff so it wasn't like she couldn't work. This prenup is very similar to Kelly Clarksons and hers was upheld by the court. She only needed to pay her exhusband 1.3 million (a pittance compared to her income of 1.9 million a month), and she evicted him from the property he was living in, and she kept all the houses and assets gained by her work during the marriage! She did have to pay him alimony of 100K a month for 18 months for him to have time to establish his own financial independence, and she is paying him 46K a month in child support so it isn't like he will struggle - same as Costner's wife.

But the monthly amounts are not forever. Then what? Is she expected to save those amounts rather than spend them? Maybe. I'm not disagreeing that the prenup could hold. I just don't understand why she and Brandon Blackstock signed this rubbish. Lots of women are SAHM's for 20+ years and they have all the rights to an equal share of what was earned during the marriage by the working spouse. Why would someone agree to $1.3M?? That wasn't even that much 20 years ago! Were they drugged? I just don't get it.

In Christine's case, I believe Kevin is providing a house as well so she has minimal expenses she needs to cover. Her monthly amounts should go a long ways given her housing and all child related costs are covered (many times over). If she gets a job that covers the basics for herself and invests / spends the monthly amount wisely - she should be able to live quite nicely. Her lifestyle will take a hit for sure but that is the reality of divorce for many. I am sure they sign to show they are in it for love and not for the money. Christine has gotten to live a luxurious lifestyle of excess for almost 20 years that has been entirely provided for her, spending as she wished from the sounds of it. That is a massive benefit that most people don't get through marriage. Twenty years of being handed life on a plate and living like the rich and famous based solely on the work and effort of another is a pretty good ride.

He is not providing a house. He is providing a monthly rental allowance, which presumably will end at some point. The youngest child is what, 13? I'm guessing these monthly amounts will last 5 years at best. I'm not saying she hasn't lived a great life, but I don't think she has accumulated any assets and it sounds to me like she is about to be up a creek with no paddle.

It was kind of her choice to throw away her paddle and let Kevin paddle for the entirely of the marriage. She got to relax in the most luxurious of canoes just drifting through a life provided for her with a team of people to do all the work that a typical non working parent might do. She has years while still provided for to start to live life as an adult with adult responsibilities. Most of us don't get free rides, we take on responsibilities as adults do. She can do the same and with a lot more help and money than most of us have.

Nice fiction but this is not a creative writing forum. You don't know anything about their daily life. Or do you work for their household something?

It was in the court documents she filed! Not creative writing in the least. She says there are three people who support the children. They have a house manager who she says manages the logistics of all the children’s activities. A chef who does all the shopping and meal prep and a housekeeper who does cleaning and laundry etc. She basically says her role is to be available for her kids when they need her as Kevin travel approx 25% of the time, and that she occasionally drives them to school.

I don’t need to work for them to read what she filed!

WOW. A house manager who manages the kids logistics, a chef who shops and cooks, a housekeeper who cleans… what did she EVEN do in her free time? She did not have a job, never paid a bill, never made her own money. She sounds like a loser and a leech.

I am MC SAHM who does everying myself, but there's way more to raising kids than that. Someone has to decide all the what, where, how, when, and who, even if hired help carries out some of the tasks. And even if there are private tutors, a parent has to be the contact point for all the academics. She doesn't work as hard at mothering as a poor or middle class SAHM, but she isn't a total layabout.

How is he being vindictive and immature? They signed a contract that laid out the terms if the marriage ended. The wife filed for divorce so the contract now goes into effect.

DP. Legally that’s all fine and good. Morally, if he has actually been cheating left and right as has been rumored it seems a bit hypocritical to break what most people view as part of the whole marriage deal and then try and demonize her for not wanting to do the same. I don’t think she should get wealthy but I do think she should get enough to purchase a place in the neighborhood the kids already live in. 1.5 million is not going to do it. He made a big point of saying the kids aren’t evicted with the mom which…is good. But practically how does that work when he is gone for months at a time for work?

And if it turns out that she’s the one who has been cheating, as rumored?

If she has been cheating (and it wasn’t in response to him cheating first) I still think he should provide somewhere nearby for her to live but perhaps it could remain in his name like Britney Spears did with KFed when he was in California.

Maybe she should have been design bags and building her empire in her free time. This way would be able to leave the marriage without fighting to break the prenup in order to survive.

I don’t think the full prenup has been released. She’s challenging what she’s eligible for which may be based on specific terms.

He's claiming he owes her $1.3 or $1.4M plus the child support and monthly amount towards a rental home. I haven't read anything that says how long the rental allowance will go. Until the youngest child turns 18? Then what? Having 20 years of marriage and no meaningful assets to show for it is pretty terrible. Something in the prenup should have been tied to the length of the marriage, and which person initiated the divorce. Seems to me like she played her cards all wrong here - will be interesting to see what happens.

She could have amassed her own assets and she will have rights to any of the assets that she contributed to amassing during the marriage. They had a nanny and multiple household staff so it wasn't like she couldn't work. This prenup is very similar to Kelly Clarksons and hers was upheld by the court. She only needed to pay her exhusband 1.3 million (a pittance compared to her income of 1.9 million a month), and she evicted him from the property he was living in, and she kept all the houses and assets gained by her work during the marriage! She did have to pay him alimony of 100K a month for 18 months for him to have time to establish his own financial independence, and she is paying him 46K a month in child support so it isn't like he will struggle - same as Costner's wife.

But the monthly amounts are not forever. Then what? Is she expected to save those amounts rather than spend them? Maybe. I'm not disagreeing that the prenup could hold. I just don't understand why she and Brandon Blackstock signed this rubbish. Lots of women are SAHM's for 20+ years and they have all the rights to an equal share of what was earned during the marriage by the working spouse. Why would someone agree to $1.3M?? That wasn't even that much 20 years ago! Were they drugged? I just don't get it.

In Christine's case, I believe Kevin is providing a house as well so she has minimal expenses she needs to cover. Her monthly amounts should go a long ways given her housing and all child related costs are covered (many times over). If she gets a job that covers the basics for herself and invests / spends the monthly amount wisely - she should be able to live quite nicely. Her lifestyle will take a hit for sure but that is the reality of divorce for many. I am sure they sign to show they are in it for love and not for the money. Christine has gotten to live a luxurious lifestyle of excess for almost 20 years that has been entirely provided for her, spending as she wished from the sounds of it. That is a massive benefit that most people don't get through marriage. Twenty years of being handed life on a plate and living like the rich and famous based solely on the work and effort of another is a pretty good ride.

He is not providing a house. He is providing a monthly rental allowance, which presumably will end at some point. The youngest child is what, 13? I'm guessing these monthly amounts will last 5 years at best. I'm not saying she hasn't lived a great life, but I don't think she has accumulated any assets and it sounds to me like she is about to be up a creek with no paddle.

It was kind of her choice to throw away her paddle and let Kevin paddle for the entirely of the marriage. She got to relax in the most luxurious of canoes just drifting through a life provided for her with a team of people to do all the work that a typical non working parent might do. She has years while still provided for to start to live life as an adult with adult responsibilities. Most of us don't get free rides, we take on responsibilities as adults do. She can do the same and with a lot more help and money than most of us have.

Nice fiction but this is not a creative writing forum. You don't know anything about their daily life. Or do you work for their household something?

It was in the court documents she filed! Not creative writing in the least. She says there are three people who support the children. They have a house manager who she says manages the logistics of all the children’s activities. A chef who does all the shopping and meal prep and a housekeeper who does cleaning and laundry etc. She basically says her role is to be available for her kids when they need her as Kevin travel approx 25% of the time, and that she occasionally drives them to school.

I don’t need to work for them to read what she filed!

WOW. A house manager who manages the kids logistics, a chef who shops and cooks, a housekeeper who cleans… what did she EVEN do in her free time? She did not have a job, never paid a bill, never made her own money. She sounds like a loser and a leech.

WELLLLL, she must have been doing something in her free time of which he approved, if he were the one paying for all these things.

Maybe she should have been design bags and building her empire in her free time. This way would be able to leave the marriage without fighting to break the prenup in order to survive.

She was probably a romantic and trusting, and she is much younger than him. Not every woman enters marriage thinking it's nothing but a business contract.

DCUM is okay with celebs paying underclass de facto slaves $100,000 to risk their lives carrying a celeb baby. But somehow, when a gold digger pops out 3 kids for an already super rich husband—and a team of staff raises the kids and does everything around the house—she deserves 50 million bucks. Hilarious.
