Dončić’s Ex‑Fiancée Asks L.A. Court to Withdraw Child‑Support Petition

Goltes’s request preserves her right to refile, with Slovenian courts remaining the active forum for custody and related proceedings.

Overview

  • Goltes filed a request on Tuesday to dismiss the March child‑support petition in Los Angeles Superior Court without prejudice and said she seeks an amicable, private agreement in the children’s best interests.
  • The court did not immediately enter the dismissal because the paperwork was missing Luka Dončić’s signature, leaving the Los Angeles action unresolved for now.
  • Dončić’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, had moved to dismiss the California case as forum shopping and argued Slovenia is the proper forum; a hearing on those jurisdictional motions was set for Aug. 14.
  • Both daughters live in Slovenia, where Dončić has already opened legal action, including a February injunction seeking contact, and where custody and related proceedings remain active.
  • If the dismissal is formally entered the California case will pause but could be refiled later; the next items to watch are the court’s acceptance of the withdrawal, the Aug. 14 hearing, and progress in Slovenia that will determine parental access.
