On the other hand, Kevin sees it as a tactic she is playing and attempting to his home like a carrot dangling in his face. She admits that her income is null and will need Kevin's assistance even though she is the one who called it quits on the 18-year marriage.

"Kevin is trying to force my concession that the spousal support limitation is valid by my "acceptance" of these funds," Christine claims in the docs. "Kevin's goal is to get me to tap into this money, so he can argue that I've waived my right to challenge the Premarital Agreement."
