- Kevin Costner's estranged wife has moved out of the actor's Santa Barbara home per a court order.
- But according to People, Christine Baumgartner moved temporarily to a smaller house on the compound.
- The smaller house is typically used as staff quarters. It's unclear how long the arrangement will last.
After months of infighting in a tense divorce battle, Kevin Costner's estranged wife has moved out of the actor's main Santa Barbara home, but is still living on the sprawling beachside compound.
Costner's ex-partner Christine Baumgartner packed up and moved to a smaller house on the compound used as staff quarters, People reported on Saturday. Baumgartner had until July 31 to leave the actor's main home, per a judges order, and is staying in the guest house as a temporary measure, according to the report.
Last month a Santa Barbara County judge ordered Baumgartner to move out of Costner's Santa Barbara home — a $145 million compound comprised of a main home and two additional houses, after Costner's team asked a judge to enforce a clause in their premarital agreement.
The move is temporary, according to People, as the couple aims to keep their three children in the same schools in the fall. Page Six reported that late last week, U-Haul moving trucks appeared at the Santa Barbara compound.
Baumgartner previously pointed to the scarcity and high cost in the Santa Barbara rental market while arguing for more time to move out.
Amid their spats, major rulings in the acrimonious divorce case came last month.
Recent court filings showed the pair arguing over which pots and pans Baumgartner could take with her, while Costner's team alleged that Baumgartner planned her exit with expensive purchases, showing how petty the feud has become.
Baumgartner filed for divorce in May, challenging the terms of their premarital agreement. In July, a judge also ruled that Costner must pay her nearly $130,000 in child support per month until the divorce is finalized.
Initially, her lawyers sought monthly child support payments of $248,000 before lowering the request to $217,300 per month, Insider previously reported. They cited the luxurious lifestyle that their children were accustomed to and pointed to the fact that Costner made $19.5 million last year, in filings that laid Costner's finances bare.
Costner has sought joint custody of the children.
Lawyers for Baumgartner and Costner did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.
