Luka Dončić Asks Los Angeles Court to Dismiss Ex-Fiancée’s Child-Support Case on Jurisdiction Grounds

He contends California lacks authority because his daughters reside in Slovenia.

Overview

  • Dončić filed papers Friday in Los Angeles County seeking to throw out Anamaria Goltes’ petition for child support and attorney fees.
  • He argues California is the wrong venue because neither parent nor the children are state residents and the girls live in Slovenia following Goltes’ move last May.
  • The filing says Dončić opened a case in Slovenia in February covering custody and support, whereas Goltes submitted her California petition earlier this month.
  • He accuses Goltes of “forum shopping” to leverage California’s generous support guidelines and says he already pays all expenses while playing on a three-year, $165 million contract.
  • The court has not ruled on the request, and public scrutiny grew after Goltes appeared to like a social-media comment about postpartum challenges that portrayed Dončić as guilty.
