Christine filed for divorce in May after 18 years of marriage.

A prenuptial agreement signed before the couple married in September 2004 stipulated that she would have to move out of her $145 million Montecito home in the event of a divorce.

The house and the surrounding property have a volleyball court, a garden, an infinity pool and two guest houses.

When the couple separated, Christine lived in one of the guest houses.

She currently rents a house for $40,000 per month.

Christine said she fought for a high child support award because she wants her children to live in the same way they are used to when they are with her.

The former model said she has been a housewife since 2004 and has no income of her own.

On Friday, a judge in Santa Barbara cut her child support payments to $63,000 a month – less than half the $129,000 she currently receives and significantly less than the $161,000 she wanted.

The verdict came at the end of a two-day evidentiary hearing in which both sides outlined what they believed was an “appropriate” amount of child support and why.

Great Mom: Despite their contentious court battle, Kevin had high praise for his ex as a mother. “She is an incredible mother,” Kevin said after the court verdict. “We’ll figure it out and share it.” We need to recover somehow right now.

Payments: The Dances With Wolves star had been making child support payments of $129,000 per month before Friday’s ruling, when the judge reduced that to $63,000 per month
