Kevin Costner Demands Estranged Wife Pay Him $100k for Fighting Prenup in Bitter Divorce War

Kevin Costner has demanded his estranged wife Christine cough up a 6-figure sum to cover his legal fees after she contested the prenuptial agreement, RadarOnline.com has learned.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the Yellowstone actor is requesting $99,225 from Christine.
Kevin pointed to the prenup which contained a provision that stated, “should either party retain counsel to enforce or prevent a breach of any provision of this Agreement, then if such matter is resolved by judicial intervention, the prevailing party, whether at trial or on appeal, shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to be reimbursed by the non- prevailing party for all costs and expenses incurred thereby, including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees.”
The actor said he was required to fight Christine to enforce his right, under the prenup, to “sole possession and control of his separate property residence.”
As we first reported, Christine filed for divorce from Kevin in May. He demanded she vacate his Santa Barbara mansion — claiming the prenup said she would have to move out within 30 days of a divorce being filed.
Christine fought Kevin’s request and tried to stay in the pad until August. However, the judge shut down Christine’s request and ordered her to leave the home this month.
In his new motion, Kevin said he prevailed in the fight and is now entitled to his legal fees. He said he paid $30k to the Misho Law Group and another $60k to his LA-attorney Laura Wasser.
Kevin reminded the court he paid his ex a $1 million lump sum following the divorce being filed. He said she could use the funds to pay the attorney fees. As we previously reported, Christine said she refuses to touch the money because it could prevent her from fighting the prenup.
Christine has yet to respond.
