A lawyer hired by Kevin Costner’s estranged wife has claimed that the actor cannot legally force her to leave their family home.
Christine Baumgartner’s attorney John Rydell has said that the request for order (RFO) filed by the Yellowstone actor “seeks to kick Christine and their three children out of the house that the children have lived in for their entire lives”.
“Although the legal basis for Kevin’s request to kick his wife and children out of their home is all but non-existent, this is still a matter of critical importance for Christine,” Rydell revealed in the court filing, according to Insider.
The attorney did not immediately respond to People’s request for comment.
An insider close to Costner told People: “It’s disingenuous to bring the kids into this. This has nothing to do with the kids. The kids’ foundation is solid. This is all about Christine. Kevin has gone above and beyond in providing Christine the necessary means to find a suitable place for her to move.”
