Kevin Costner is taking steps to ensure that his ex-wife doesn't take various items from their home as she moves out - including kitchenware.
Costner, 68, and his former wife Christine Baumgartner, 49, are currently in the midst of settling their divorce, and it has been anything but private.
As previously reported, Baumgartner was seeking $248,000 a month for the three children the pair share together - 16-year-old Cayden, 14-year-old Hayes, and 13-year-old Grace.
Costner disputed this amount and offered $38,000 which was then upped to $52,000, though Baumgartner claimed Costner "spends $240,000 a month on himself and the kids when they’re with him".
As reported by TMZ, a judge ruled that Costner is to pay Baumgartner $129,755 a month in child support, though this decision is pending another hearing.
The 49-year-old was ordered to leave the marital home, as Costner claimed that as per their pre-nuptial agreement, she was obligated to do so within 30 days of the divorce being filed.
It seems like this isn't where matters end, however. According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the pair are arguing over pots and pans.
The documents state that Baumgartner has been blocked from removing certain items from the marital home.
"Christine shall be permitted to remove her toiletries, clothing, handbags and jewelry," the documents state. It went on to state that Baumgartner is prohibited from removing "any other items of property including, but not limited to, furniture, furnishings, appliances, and artwork."
Costner's lawyer submitted documents on July 13, urging the court to "prevent [Baumbartner's] from removing [Costner’s] separate property from his home, and to ensure an orderly process for the removal of her separate property (if any)."
The pair had to decide what belonged to who, as they revealed that there was no "community property".
When Baumgartner was tasked with listing what property she wished to take, Costner's team branded it "hopelessly vague and ambiguous".
The document reads: "For instance, Petitioner lists 'Plates and bowls/ silverware' without specifying which plates, which bowls and which silverware. She lists '[Baumgartner's] family heirlooms and/or gifts to her' but does not specify which items she believes were gifted to her (as opposed to both parties or the children)."
It goes on: "She lists '[Baumgartner's] personal electronic' but fails to specify what that means. Is a TV a 'personal' electronic? Is she referring to household computers? Which ones?"
Baumgartner's team disputes the claims that there is no community property, stating: "Many of these items [in the home] were acquired during marriage and are presumptively community property."
They added that Costner "complained that reference to 'some pots and pans' was so vague he was unable to consent to their removal. Apparently, [Costner] was concerned [Baumgartner] would take too many pots and pans – a complaint quite trivial given his 2022 income of about $24,000,000 and claimed net worth of about $200,000,000 (which we believe is understated)."
The judge ruled in Costner's favor.
