Costner and his estranged wife are locked in a contentious fight over child support amid their bitter divorce.
The 68-year-old actor wore a beige suit and black tie and, according to the eyewitness, he seemed relaxed at the hearing. His demeanor, however, changed when Baumgartner's attorney stated in court that Costner had more than enough money to pay for both of their legal bills,"He seemed irritated when Christine's attorney said that he should pay for both attorney fees," the eyewitness said."He visibly shook his head when the lawyer said he could afford to pay for both.
"He would sip his water and he would look at her," the eyewitness said."He was not averting his gaze." But ahead of the hearing, Costner's legal team on Wednesday afternoon filed new court documents in which he blasted Baumgartner's claim that he"steadfastly refuses" to pay child support sufficient to meet the children's reasonable needs.
"Christine's relentless 'jihad' against Kevin's character adds a level of animosity to this proceeding that is wholly unnecessary," the court documents state.
