Kevin Costner’s Hollywood lawyer Laura Wasser is blasting her client’s ex Christine Baumgartner, for asking him to pay a whopping $885K in legal fees.<\/p>\n
The 49-year-old Baumgartner – who was recently ordered to pay a $14K sanction – filed a request with a judge to get her 68-year-old ex to pay $885K for her lawyers fees… to argue just one sole issue in divorce court.<\/p>\n
The issue at hand is whether her, ‘waiver of spousal support is enforceable,’ according to TMZ,\u00a0though Wasser claims the ask is, ‘nothing short of outrageous.’<\/p>\n
Wasser claims that, based on hourly rates, Baumgartner’s lawyers would have to rack up\u00a01,106 billable hours to justify that amount.<\/p>\n
The ask is seemingly even more outrageous since Wasser contends a judge has already agreed the prenup is enforcable.<\/p>\n

Blasting: Kevin Costner ‘s lawyer Laura Wasser is blasting her client’s ex Christine Baumgartner , for asking him to pay a whopping $885K in legal fees<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fees:\u00a0The 49-year-old Baumgartner filed a request with a judge to get her 68-year-old ex to pay $885K for her lawyers fees… to argue just one sole issue in divorce court<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hours:\u00a0Wasser claims that, based on hourly rates, Baumgartner’s lawyers would have to rack up 1,106 billable hours to justify that amount<\/p>\n
Back in early July, a judge enforced one provision of the prenup, which stated that in the event of a divorce, Baumgartner had a certain number of days to vacate the family home.<\/p>\n
Baumgartner contended she, ‘will move in due course, but this is a major undertaking and can only be accomplished with careful planning.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The judge did not agree, enforcing that provision and meaning she had until July 31 to vacate the home she shared with Costner.<\/p>\n
That ruling ultimately could mean that the entire prenup is enforceable, which could be another big loss for Baumgartner.<\/p>\n
Wasser stated that Costner has already shelled out $300K for her legal fees, and added that she allegedly took over $105K from his accounts for her legal team.<\/p>\n
Baumgartner has apparently already lost more in her legal battles than what she would have gotten had she settled with her ex.<\/p>\n
She originally asked for a whopping $248K a month in child support for their three kid,\u00a0Cayden Wyatt, 15, Hayes Logan, 14, and Grace Avery, 13.<\/p>\n
Costner and his lawyers rejected that amount and said the proper number should be $63K a month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Lost:\u00a0Baumgartner has apparently already lost more in her legal battles than what she would have gotten had she settled with her ex<\/p>\n
Costner also offered to pay $75K a month, which Baumgartner rejected, before a judge ruled that $63K a month was the proper amount.<\/p>\n
The 68-year-old actor was spotted in one of the luxury suites at SoFi Stadium for last month’s Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour stop.<\/p>\n
The Dances With Wolves star was spotted with his 13-year-old daughter Grace and a friend, as they rocked out to one of the 32-year-old singer’s most famous break-up songs – We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.<\/p>\n
The Oscar-winning actor and director was seen sporting a wry smile as his daughter sang along to the 2012 hit from her album Red.<\/p>\n
