Kevin Costner and his estranged wife Christine Baumgartner arrived separately to give depositions in their pending divorce in Santa Barbara, California on Saturday.

The at-odds duo initially tied the knot in 2004 – before she filed for divorce on May 1 after 18 years of marriage.

Their divorce battle has become far from amicable, and Christine has been living in a $35,000 rental in town after she was booted out of the family’s mansion.

Kevin, 68, looked relaxed as he arrived to the law offices in light gray jeans, a white button down shirt, and sneakers.

The Let Him Go actor wore dark sunglasses and carried a brown jacket.

He was joined shortly afterward by his high-powered attorney Laura Wasser.

Christine, 49, looked stylish in a red short sleeve sweater and charcoal slacks.

She wore black strappy sandals and accessorized with a rhinestone belt and a gold necklace.

Her dark blonde hair was styled in loose layers.

The model wore natural looking makeup with a soft pink lip and large round sunglasses.

Christine carried two large bags for her meeting with the attorneys who are helping hammer out the final agreement for the dissolution of her marriage.

Witnesses say the handbag designer was originally scheduled to arrive later in the day, but instead arrived an hour before her soon-to-be ex-husband.

The divorce proceedings between the former couple have been contentious from the start.

One of the biggest sticking points is where Christine will live.

Kevin’s attorney have argued the prenup signed before their September 2004 wedding required her to move out of their Montecito home.

The contract calls for a $200,000 down payment for Christine’s new residence and for the Dances with Wolves star to cover the monthly mortgage, property tax, and insurance payments for one year.

She initially refused to do leave the Montecito mansion, but a judge ordered her to leave the residence by July 31.

The couple share three children, Cayden, 15, Hayes, 14 and Grace 12 and child support has been a big source of contention for the duo.

Christine initially asked for nearly $250,000 per month for child support, while The Highwayman star countered with an offer of $51, 940 per month.

A judge has ordered the star to make payments of $129,000 per month.

Hearings on the child support issue are scheduled for August 31 and September 9.

Costner has four older children: Annie, 39, Lily, 37,  and Joe, 35, from his marriage to Cindy Silva. He has a son, Liam, 27, from his relationship with heiress Bridget Rooney.
