Luka Dončić Asks L.A. Judge to Dismiss Ex’s Child-Support Case, Citing Slovenia Jurisdiction

The court will decide whether California should step aside based on the children’s residency and an earlier filing in Slovenia.

Overview

  • Dončić filed in Los Angeles County on Friday to throw out Anamaria GoltesCalifornia petition for child support and attorney fees.
  • He argues neither parent nor their daughters are California residents and says the children live full-time in Slovenia.
  • His filing states he initiated a custody and support case in Slovenia in February, predating Goltes’ petition in Los Angeles.
  • He accuses Goltes of forum shopping to benefit from California’s more generous child-support guidelines, while asserting he already pays all expenses.
  • Legal questions about the children’s habitual residence under the UCCJEA frame the decision, and the judge has not yet ruled.
