The couple, who are going through divorce proceedings, was scheduled for a conference management hearing on Wednesday where Judge Thomas Anderele denied Baumgartner’s request to move out of the home in August, according toFox NewsandYahoo.
The meeting comes after PEOPLE obtained court documents filed on June 30, in which Costner’s legal team claimed that Baumgartner allegedly “grasps at straws with one baseless argument after another,” as to why she should be allowed to stay in his Santa Barbara home.
Costner, 68, “respectfully requests that Christine be ordered to vacate his separateproperty residenceforthwith and no later than July 13, 2023," the document states.
Baumgartner has reportedly remained in the home since filing for divorce on May 1, despite a clause in her prenuptial agreement that he claims requires her to leave within 30 days. That deadline has since passed.

The exes sharethree children together— Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13 — who has lived in the Santa Barbara compound their whole lives. In order to set up a “suitable separate household” for them, she has reportedly requested$248,000 per month in child support, a number Costner has rejected as “inflated.”

Under the terms of their prenuptial agreement, Baumgartner is entitled to $1.4 million, a sum Costner claims he has paid.
“Christine can afford to move,” the reply claims. “She has at her disposal almost $1,500,000 in cash to find alternative housing. Multiple 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom lovely homes are presently available, located in close proximity to Kevin’s separate property residence… Kevin made multiple offers to assist her in relocating.”
A source close to Costner recently toldPEOPLE, “This is all about Christine. Kevin has gone above and beyond in providing Christine the necessary means to find a suitable place for her to move."
Another insider told PEOPLE that theYellowstonestar “wants to hold on to as much as he can."
A Christine source explained, “She wants Kevin to provide what they are used to.” Their extraordinary lifestyle, she said, included trips on private jets and visits to luxurious hotels.
