Kevin Costner’s soon-to-be ex-wife Christine is accusing the actor of playing dirty games in their bitter divorce and opposes the demand she vacate his California mansion, RadarOnline.com has learned.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Christine and her legal team are firing back after he claimed she violated their prenuptial agreement.
Kevin & Christine and their children.
Kevin said their prenup said Christine had to pack up and leave his home within 30 days of a divorce being filed.
Christine filed for divorce on May 1 but Kevin said she was still in his home despite “multiple requests that she do so and despite Kevin’s offers to assist her financially in relocating to a new residence.”
The actor said his ex had, “taken the position that she will not move out of Kevin’s separate property residence unless and until Kevin agrees to various financial demands.”

In his filing, Kevin revealed he had paid Christine $1 million after the divorce was filed. The payment was due per their prenup.
Further, he claimed to have made a “comprehensive temporary child support and fee proposal, he has agreed to and has maintained the financial status quo since the Petition was filed, continuing to pay all of the parties’ children’s expenses, and he is negotiating a summer visitation schedule for the parties’ three teenage children."
Kevin asked for an emergency hearing on the matter.
Now, Christine is asking a judge to deny his request for an emergency conference. Her lawyer said Kevin, “seeks to kick Christine and their three children out of the house that the children have lived in for their entire lives.”
Her lawyer said, “Although the legal basis for Kevin’s request to kick his wife and children out of their home is non-existent, that is still a matter of critical importance to Christine.”
Christine’s lawyer said he is unavailable on the date Kevin’s lawyer proposed the hearing take place. He asked for a later date but said the actor’s lawyer Laura Wasser “denied my request for this professional courtesy.”
