If not, this makes him look petty and stingy to the mother of his children.

It’s the amount she asked for in the prenup.

He cheated.

Unless the prenup had a cheating clause, it’s irrelevant. And given the info leaked by both sides, there’s no cheating clause.

I’m shocked a lawyer would have agreed to such a paltry amount in a pre nup with no cheating clause. Who was advising her?!

She was 18 and he was almost 40 years old.

Lol. Is this a cyber smear campaign? I'd love to know where your IP is coming from. I bet it's not D.C. Alas, his reputation isn't being "ripped apart". His fans love him and this is just a dime a dozen gold digging ex who sounds way, way out of touch. Millions isn't good enough for the career-less conniver, she needs $50 million!

No she doesn’t. We all feel sorry for her. Even if we don’t relate to her because we have a career, she’s our mom, sister or friend. I’d fell sorry for a man who left an 18 year marriage with 0.25% of the marital assets, too. And if I were the judge, I’d throw it out.

Disagree 1000%

You don’t get to take peoples money they earned after 70 years of hard work because you banged them for 20 years.

You don’t have the talent, intelligence or hard work to earn the money you don’t just get to take it.

It’s insane women essentially want to be sex workers.

With no kids to house, she'd have zero argument for maintaining the lavish lifestyle. But she had to know she was on thin ground so waited a good long while to try to get out. She doesn't have much of an argument.

A man is not a plan. That is for sure.

I think her argument needs to be, in part, that when the kids are with him, they live in a $125m house in Carpinteria, presumably where they attend school. It's the home she's lived in for the last 20+ years while she stayed home with the children and he left to play in a band and film tv and movies. He's proposing that she live on $38,000 per month in child support (and she also gets a whopping ~ $1m as her total net worth leaving the marriage ). A quick google search suggests that she's not going to find a decent 4-bedroom home in Carpinteria for less than $10,000 per month, and at that price, it is going to feel very different to the kids (and her) than dad's house. How do the kids not hate their dad for doing this to mom? I would - my parents are still married and my dad controls all the money and to this day I still fear for my mom. It's a bad way to treat someone. The cost of living in Carpinteria is very high. They had a traditional, old school marriage where she stayed home with the kids and he did whatever he wanted, but now that it's over, he's kicking her to the curve with relatively nothing (0.25% of assets).

The lawyer who allowed her to agree to this prenup, with no adjustments for length of marriage or number of kids, is to blame in large part.

I also agree that "a man is not a plan". I wouldn't want this for myself or my daughter.

There is a house for <$2M

DP. But he gave her 1M so these are all out of her price range. She can’t even get a shitstack in north Arlington for that.

You do realize that most people don’t pay 100% cash for a home? She can easily put down 20% and have a mortgage and go to work like the rest of us.

She can put a down payment and use her insanely high alimony.

Kevin has already offered to cover her home’s down payment and first 12 mortgage payments PLUS the million cash PLUS the child support PLUS all expenses for the teen kids.

Wives and mothers aren’t sex workers. Give me a break.

And underclass aren't slaves, but this forum has no issues with rich famous women exploiting them and risking their lives to be lowly paid surrogates. This ex wife was a surrogate x 3 and then a team of nannies took care of most childcare and household duties. She doesn't deserve a mansion, alimony, millions in cash, and $3 million a year in child support, plus whatever else she's trying to extort from a guy who was rich and famous long before she came around.

is it just one person on this thread who keeps comparing Kevin Costner's partner of 25 years, wife of nearly 20 years, to a surrogate? It's been throughout the thread. Weird take.

I was addressing pp's comment that she might have cheated. He cheated blatantly enough that she found out.
