Kevin Costner’s estranged wifeChristineis officially relocating.
“Christine is following the legal advice per the prenup and is vacating the family house," a source confirms to PEOPLE, adding that she “will stay at a smaller house on the property that’s been used as a staff quarter.”
“This is a temporary solution,” the insider adds. “She is still looking for another house. She is staying in the area to not disrupt the kids’ lives. They will be back at school in the fall with their friends.
“Christine is trying to keep everything as normal as possible. Her sole focus is the kids,” the source tells PEOPLE.

“He was relieved,” a source told PEOPLE at the time ofCostner’s reaction to the ruling.
Christine had remained in the home sincefiling for divorce on May 1, despite a clause in her prenuptial agreement that reportedly required her to leave within 30 days.
The July 6 meeting came after PEOPLE obtained court documents filed on June 30, in which Costner’s legal team claimed thatChristine allegedly “grasps at strawswith one baseless argument after another,” as to why she should be allowed to stay in his home.
Costner, the document continued, “respectfully requests that Christine be ordered to vacate his separate property residence forthwith and no later than July 13, 2023.”
