According to the court’s ruling, the 68-year-old actor and star of the hit series “Yellowstone” must pay $129,000 a month in child support. This figure is above what the actor offered, but below what his ex-wife asked for.

The judge’s decision came after Baumgartner was ordered to leave Costner’s mansion by July 31, the Daily Mail reported.

The sentence also indicates that both parents will share the cost of their children’s treatment, they will share the costs to cover tuition fees at the prestigious private school where the minors study and their extracurricular activities.

As reported by the mentioned media, this court decision is not final since both Costner and Baumgartner have the possibility to appeal.
