Overview
- Goltes asked a Los Angeles judge on Monday to dismiss her March child‑support petition without prejudice so the parties can pursue an amicable, mutual agreement in the best interests of their daughters.
- The court did not immediately accept the dismissal because the filing lacked Luka Dončić’s signature, a procedural gap that must be corrected before the Los Angeles action can be closed.
- Goltes originally filed the March petition seeking child support and attorney fees but not custody, a move that prompted a jurisdictional challenge from Dončić’s lawyer.
- Dončić’s attorney Laura Wasser argued in filings that Slovenia, where the children live, is the proper forum and that the California case represented forum‑shopping; separate custody and access proceedings are ongoing in Slovenian courts.
- If the Los Angeles case is dismissed it will end the current U.S. proceeding without a ruling on the merits but leave the option to refile open and keep the focus on resolving custody and access through Slovenia or private talks.
