<\/p>\n
Kevin Costner<\/strong>‘s lawyer is incredulous … blasting estranged wife Christine Baumgartner<\/strong> for asking a judge to make him pay $885k to argue a single issue in divorce court.<\/p>\n Disso queen Laura Wasser<\/strong> filed her blistering response to Christine’s request … explaining the fees would supposedly be incurred for a mini-trial over one issue in the prenup — whether her waiver of spousal support is enforceable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Christine’s lawyers say it will take $885k to make their case — and they want Kevin to foot the bill — but Wasser fired back that based on hourly rates, Christine’s legal team would have to put in 1,106 hours to justify the fee.<\/p>\n Wasser calls Christine’s ask “nothing short of outrageous,” also noting the judge has already indicated<\/strong> the prenup is enforceable, so the road Christine’s going down is a dead end.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Christine has not only lost most of the legal battles in the divorce, she’s actually lost more than if she had settled with Kevin. For example, she originally wanted<\/strong> $248k a month in child support, which Kevin rejected and claimed the reasonable amount<\/strong> was $63k. Nevertheless, he offered to pay her $75k a month, but Christine rejected that offer and duked it out in court. In the end, the judge said $63k was the appropriate amount.<\/p>\n Wasser says Kevin’s already paid Christine $300k in legal fees, and also allegedly took $105k from Kevin’s accounts to feed her legal team.<\/p>\n And there’s this … if Christine challenges the prenup and loses, she’ll have to return<\/strong> more than a million bucks Kevin gave her and also pay his lawyer’s fees.<\/p>\n
